Unit-1 – Make 10 Facts

1. The strategy for these facts is to build onto the 8 or 9 up to 10 and then add on the rest.

For example: For 9 + 3 think: 9 + 1 (from the 3) is 10, and 10 + 2 (the other part of the 3) is
12 or 9 + 3 = (9 + 1) +2 = 10 + 2 = 12 Ten frames may be used to help students understand
facts with 8 or 9 to make 10.

Examples of Some Practice Items

Some practice items for adding with 8 or 9 using the ten-frame are:

9+4=   9+6=   8+4=  

5+9=   6+8=   8+6=  
8+5=   3+9=   7+9=  

2. The above “make 10” strategy can be extended to facts involving 7.

For example: For 7 + 4, think: 7 and 3 (from the 4) is 10, and 10 + 1 (the other part of the 4)
is 11 or 7 + 4 = (7 + 3) + 1 =10 + 1 = 11.

 Unit-1 – Finding Compatibles

This strategy for addition involves looking for pairs of numbers that add to powers of ten (10
or 100) to make the addition easier.

Example: For example: For 3 + 8 + 7, think: 3 + 7 is 10 plus 8 is 10 + 8 = 18.

Examples of Some Practice Items Some items of applying this strategy to numbers in the 1s
are:
 Unit-1 – Using Addition Facts for 10s - Doubles

Examples: If you know that 6 + 6 = 12, then applying the doubles strategy to adding
numbers in the 10s, you know 60 + 60 = 120.

Double fact for numbers in the 10s are:

90 + 90 =   10 + 10 =   70 + 70 =  

60 + 60 =   50 + 50 =   40 + 40 =  

30 + 30 =   80 + 80 =   20 + 20 =  

Unit-1 – Using Addition Facts for 10s - Near-Doubles (1-Aparts) Facts

Examples: If you know that 2 + 3 = 5, then applying the " near-doubles plus" strategy to
adding numbers in the 10's, you know that 20 + 30 is (20 + 20) + 10 = 50.

Say "20 + 30 is double 20 and add 10; 40 + 10 is 50."

Near-Doubles (1-Aparts) Facts for numbers in the 10s are:

10 + 20 =   20 + 10 =  
20 + 30 =   30 + 20 =

Unit-1 – Using Addition Facts for 10s - Doubles Plus 2 (2- Apart) Facts

Examples: If you know that 3 + 5 = 8, then applying the “near-doubles plus 2” strategy to
adding numbers in the 10’s, you know 30 + 50 is (30 + 30) +20 = 80.

Say “30 + 50 is double 30 and add 20; 60 + 20 is 80.

Near-Doubles (1-Aparts) Facts for numbers in the 10s are:

10 + 30 =   30 + 10 =

Examples

(i) For example: For 12 – 6, think; 6 plus what makes 12? 6 + 6 = 12, so 12 – 6 = 6
