Helping a Friend (+10 and Some More)

Start this addition instructional activity with a challenge: project a ten frame with three counters for three seconds and then ask pupils if (and how) many. Give learners individual mats and counters, and model a double ten frame activity: five counters in one and eight in the other. How could they add those together? They consider making 10 as a strategy, and establish math facts for adding 8 or 9 by completing a worksheet (included). Ten frames and extension activities are also included.
