Kindergarten math · Unit 5: Adding and subtracting within 10

Partners of 10 turn around

What this lesson shows

Fixes a mistake

3 + 7 = 10, so 7 + 3 = 10 too. One pair of partners gives two facts.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 10 as 3 and 7. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Fill some squares
  2. Count the empty ones
  3. Turn it around
  4. Partners both ways

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. After your kid finds the partner, say the pair both ways: "3 and 7, 7 and 3, both make 10."

If your kid gets stuck

Count the empty squares. Then say the pair both ways.
