Making ten to add is an essential addition strategy and requires students being able to identify or make the combinations that total 10. I had a lovely request to make more worksheets of the style we offered as a freebie back in this post.
These caterpillar themed pages make for great practice when students have already had loads of hands-on play with equipment. They will look for the 2 numbers on each caterpillar that total ten and shade them before adding on the final digit.
The shading of the caterpillar squares is fun and a little cute, but it also helps create a powerful visual bond of the ten being partitioned from the other number. Over time students will need less of this visual support.
Our new pack includes 10 worksheets altogether. Five of them will require students to look for a ten. The other 5 worksheets are great for students who have become very confident with this strategy and they will find the 2 numbers that make 20.
The one page sample freebie is still avaiable from Google Drive: Caterpillar Find Ten
And the full pack is now in our TPT store. If you have a request or need for a printable resource, please do not hesitate to contact us - we will do our best to help!
