To help students become more fluent in addition a strategy they can learn is making ten or finding ten first. In a series of 3 numbers or more they will find combinations that make a ten before adding the other numbers.
Here is a fast-prep math warm up to help students fist become familiar with the combinations.
Call a Ten
- students are seated with you in a small group
- you roll a standard 6 sided die
- the students quickly call the number that combines with the roll to make ten - e.g. if you roll 4 they call 6
- keep it fast and fun, giving students as much opportunity to work with the numbers
After your warm up and instructional lesson, students can practice finding a ten within a series of 3 single digits on our fun and engaging worksheet pages!
