Making ten is a fundamental strategy in early math education. It involves finding pairs of numbers that add up to ten. For example, knowing that 6 + 4 = 10 or 8 + 2 = 10 helps children simplify addition problems. This skill provides a strong foundation for more complex arithmetic and problem-solving.
By mastering "making ten," kindergarteners develop number sense and the ability to decompose numbers. This means they can break down larger numbers into smaller, more manageable parts. This not only aids in addition but also subtraction and mental math strategies.
To make ten, we need to find the missing ________. If we have six, we need ________ more to make ten. Similarly, if we have eight, we need only ________ more. The ten ________ helps us visualize this easily. So, five plus ________ is also ten!
