Complete the addition sentence – make ten
Key notes:-
🔟💡 What is “Make Ten”?
“Make Ten” means finding two numbers that add up to 10.
Example:
➡️ 6 + 4 = 10
🧠🔢 Use the Missing Number
In an addition sentence like
➡️ 7 + ___ = 10
we find the number that joins 7 to make 10.
Answer: 3
🍎🟦 Use Counting On
Start from the first number and count up to 10.
Example:
➡️ 8 + ___ = 10
Count: 8… 9, 10 → 2
🎨💛 Ten Frame Helps
A ten frame shows how many more boxes we need to fill to reach 10.
If 5 boxes are filled,
empty boxes = 5,
so ➡️ 5 + 5 = 10.
