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 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!
