Homework Check: Make 10 to Add and Subtract

Objective: Reinforce the concept of making 10 for addition and subtraction through an engaging and interactive approach.

Introduction (5 minutes)

Begin by gathering the students in a circle on the carpet. Explain the importance of making 10 in math. Use simple language and visualize the concept with number cards.

• Example: Show cards for the numbers 1 through 9 and the number 10. Ask them: "What numbers can we add together to make 10?"

Homework Review Activity (15 minutes)

Materials Needed:

• Homework Sheets: Each student should have their completed homework sheets.
• Number Cards (1-10): Prepare a set of colorful number cards.
• Whiteboard and Markers: For demonstrations.
• Small Counters or Manipulatives: Like cubes or buttons (optional).

Steps:

1. Pair Up:
   Have the students pair up with a partner. Each pair will check their homework together, discussing their answers out loud.

2. Create a 10 Board:
   Use the whiteboard to create a "Make 10 Board." Divide it into two sections: Addition and Subtraction.

3. Sharing Time:
   Invite pairs to share one addition and one subtraction problem they worked on, focusing on how they made 10.

   • Example: "I added 7 and 3. Together they make 10!"

4. Use the Number Cards:
   Each pair should use the number cards to visualize their addition and subtraction. They can find combinations that equal 10 and write them on the board.

   • Example: If a student says, "5 + 5," they can hold up the number cards to demonstrate this visually.

5. Manipulates Challenge (Optional):
   If time permits, give each pair a small handful of counters. Challenge them to show different ways to make 10 using their counters, promoting hands-on learning.

Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

Bring the class back together for a final share-out. Ask for a few volunteers to share their favorite ways of making 10. Conclude by reiterating how making 10 simplifies adding and subtracting larger numbers.

• Closure Question: "How does making 10 help you when you add or subtract?"

By using interactive activities, hands-on manipulations, and peer discussions, students will reinforce their understanding of making 10 in a fun and engaging way.
