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
  5. Add remainder: Add the leftover amount to 10
  6. State answer: Provide the final sum
Tip 1: Memorize number bonds that make 10 (1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5).
Tip 2: Start with the number closer to 10 when deciding which to make 10 with.
Tip 3: Use visual aids like ten frames to see the relationships.
Tip 4: Practice breaking apart numbers to reinforce the concept.
Common errors: Choosing the wrong number to break apart, miscalculating the remainder, forgetting to add the remainder to 10.
Practice strategies: Start with concrete objects, progress to visual representations, then abstract equations.

Questions & Answers

Question: How can I help my child practice making 10 at home?

Answer: Here are effective home practice strategies:

  • Use everyday objects: Counters, blocks, or small toys to physically show making 10
  • Create ten frames: Draw boxes to represent numbers and see how they fill up to 10
  • Play games: "Make 10" card games or dice games
  • Practice daily: Just 10-15 minutes of focused practice each day
  • Use visual aids: Draw circles or dots to represent the numbers and show how they combine

Start with concrete objects and gradually move to abstract thinking. Make it fun with games and challenges. Consistency is more important than duration.

Celebrate small wins to build confidence and motivation.

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

Answer: Most effective practice activities include:

  • Ten frame activities: Fill ten frames to see how numbers combine to make 10
  • Number bond cards: Practice the pairs that make 10
  • Make 10 puzzles: Given one number, find what goes with it to make 10
  • Partner activities: Students take turns giving each other make 10 problems
  • Real-life applications: Use word problems that naturally lend themselves to the strategy

Incorporate games that make practice fun, like "Make 10 Bingo" or "Race to 10." Regular, short practice sessions are more effective than long, infrequent ones.

Use multiple representations - concrete objects, visual models, and abstract equations - to build strong conceptual understanding.

Question: How do I know when a student has mastered making 10?

Answer: Signs of mastery include:

  • Automatic recall: Quick recognition of number bonds that make 10
  • Flexible thinking: Ability to apply the strategy to different number combinations
  • Efficient problem solving: Can choose the most efficient way to make 10
  • Verbal explanation: Can explain their thinking and steps clearly
  • Independent application: Uses the strategy without prompting

Students should be able to demonstrate the strategy using multiple representations and apply it to various contexts including word problems.

Mastery is shown when students choose the strategy automatically when appropriate and can explain why it works.
