What Are Addition Sentences?
Addition sentences show how two numbers combine to make a new
total!
When we add numbers together, we're putting them together to find out how many we have in all. Today
we'll learn all the special number pairs that make 10 when added together!
How to Find Sums Equal to 10
1️⃣ Start with a number (like 3)
2️⃣ Count up to 10 to find its partner (3...4,5,6,7,8,9,10 → that's 7 more!)
3️⃣ Put them together: 3 + 7 = 10!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use real objects: Have your child count out 10 small items (like buttons or cereal pieces) and split them into two groups to discover all the number pairs that make 10.
- Make it musical: Sing addition songs about making 10, like "5 and 5 make 10, it's so fun, let's do it again!"
- Play "Ten Frame" games: Use a ten frame (a grid with 10 squares) to visually show how numbers combine to make 10.
