NumIO learning activity

Find the number friend that makes 10

Make 10 gives children a visual ten-frame-like way to build fluency with the number pairs that compose ten on a compact 1–10 practice board.

Learning goal

Recall or reason about the complement that joins a number to make a total of ten.

Work through five untimed prompts: read the starting number, think about how many more are needed, and tap that partner on the board.

Ask learners to show the same pair with counters or fingers before they choose the board answer.
