My students use this if they finish their centers early and still need to keep their minds working. Great way to keep them thinking.

I used these cards while teaching the “bridge to 10” math strategy. They worked very well for my student. They were a great visual. I loved the variety of math problems in them as well. You can easily laminate these and use them as independent practice again and again.

I started with the ten frames for the students to visualize how to make a ten prior to using the number bonds. The ten frames were very helpful.

I had my students partner up to apply this skill based on our previous lesson. It encouraged my students to work together and explain their thinking to each other.

These task cards are a fantastic way to help 1st graders master the strategy of making 10 to add! The number bond format really supports conceptual understanding, and the cards offer just the right amount of challenge for early learners. My students enjoyed using them in centers and small groups, and I saw noticeable improvement in their mental math strategies. Easy to prep, engaging, and effective—this is a great resource for building strong addition skills to 20!
