Make a ten to add: 1st grade math lesson

What this lesson shows

8 + 5: move 2 into the ten frame, then 10 + 3 = 13.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 8 + 5 = □. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

Fill one ten frame
Move some over to make 10
10 plus what is left

Helping at home

Ask how many more the bigger number needs to make 10. Take that many from the other number, then add what is left to 10. Draw two ten frames if it helps.

If your kid gets stuck

How many more to make 10?

Standards

Common Core 1.OA.C.6
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
Common Core 2.OA.B.2
Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
