Key definitions:

Making 10 Strategy: Breaking apart one number to create 10 with the other number

Number Bonds: Pairs of numbers that combine to make a specific total

Decomposition: Breaking numbers into smaller, more manageable parts

Complete making 10 process:
  1. Identify the first number: Look at the number closest to 10
  2. Determine what's needed: Find how much more to make 10
  3. Break apart the second number: Split it into the needed amount and remainder
  4. Make 10: Add the first number to its complement

Questions & Answers

Question: How can I assess if my child truly understands the making 10 strategy?

Answer: Look for these indicators of true understanding:

  • Automatic number bond recall: They quickly know what number pairs make 10
  • Flexible thinking: They can apply the strategy to different number combinations
  • Verbal explanation: They can explain their thinking and steps clearly
  • Multiple representations: They can show the strategy using objects, drawings, and equations
  • Problem solving: They can apply the strategy to word problems independently

Ask your child to teach you the strategy - if they can explain it clearly, they likely understand it well. Also observe if they choose the strategy automatically when appropriate.

True understanding shows in both computational accuracy and conceptual reasoning.

Question: What are the key assessment criteria for making 10 strategy?

Answer: The key assessment criteria include:

  • Number bond knowledge: Can the student identify what number pairs make 10?
  • Decomposition skills: Can they break apart numbers correctly?
  • Strategic thinking: Do they choose the most efficient way to make 10?
  • Execution accuracy: Do they perform the steps correctly?
  • Verification: Do they check their work?

Assess both procedural fluency (the steps) and conceptual understanding (why the strategy works). Look for evidence of flexible thinking across different problem types.

Observe whether students can apply the strategy to various contexts, including word problems and abstract equations.

Question: What assessment activities are most effective for making 10?

Answer: Effective assessment activities include:

  • Open-ended tasks: Ask students to show multiple ways to solve a problem
  • Think-aloud protocols: Have students explain their thinking as they solve
  • Number bond completion: Fill-in-the-blank exercises for number bonds
  • Word problem assessments: Apply strategy to real-world contexts
  • Peer explanations: Students teach the strategy to classmates

Use formative assessments throughout the learning process, not just summative evaluations. Observe students during guided practice to identify misconceptions early.

Include both computational problems and problem-solving tasks to assess different aspects of understanding.
