Description

Strengthen addition skills with these Making 10 to Add Math lessons and centers! This comprehensive resource includes lesson plans, math journals, math games, and exit slips designed to help students master the ‘making 10’ strategy, build number sense, and enhance math fluency. Perfect for elementary classrooms.

10 becomes a benchmark number which makes addition and subtraction a mental process. As we are guiding students to 10, it must be a hands-on process. Students must be given hands-on opportunity to break apart numbers, redistribute their placement on the ten frames, and create new equations.

    This is a great supplement for the math curriculum, much more kid friendly and fun for them during center time, meanwhile reinforcing a necessary skill

    Thank you so much for this resource. My students enjoyed it.

    This is perfect for independent work stations while I work with individual or small groups. Students as young as first grade can understand the straightforward directions and can show their thinking with the journal prompts and exit slips provided with the resource! I will use this as a staple in my math menus this year!

Downloads

How do I access my downloads?

Right after you check out, your download links are on the order confirmation page, and your receipt email has the same links. Don’t see the email? Check your spam or promotions folder.

You can also grab your files anytime: log in and go to My Account > Downloads.

My download is a .zip file. How do I open it?

Each resource downloads as a .zip folder that holds all of its files.

  • iPhone or iPad: open the Files app, find the zip in Downloads, and tap it. It unzips into a folder you can open.
  • Mac: double-click the zip.
  • Windows: right-click the zip and choose Extract All.
My file won’t open or shows a file-path error.

This usually happens on Windows when the files are unzipped inside the Downloads folder, because the folder path gets too long. Move the zip to your Desktop, then right-click it and choose Extract All.

Still stuck? Reach out and I’ll help.

Do I need an account?

No, you can check out without signing up. An account is created for you automatically with the email you use at checkout, and you’ll get an email to set your password. If you already have an account, your order is added to it.
