Welcome to the Magical World of Numbers!

🎉 Introduction to "Make Ten" 🎉

Good morning, young mathematicians! Today, we are going to embark on a magical adventure through the land of numbers. Are you ready to explore?

🧙‍♂️ The Setup: Meet Our Number Friends

Before we start, let me introduce you to our special friends on this adventure: the Numbers!

• 1: This little guy loves to be at the front of the line.
• 9: The fastest runner, always ready to help out.
• 0: The quiet one, who makes everything feel complete.

📚 The Challenge: Can You Help Them?

Just like in a story where our heroes need to work together to solve a problem, our number friends need your help today! They want to create a group of 10 so they can throw a big number party!

🎈 Here's the challenge:

Can you figure out how 1 and 9 can come together to make 10? What about 2 and 8? Or 3 and 7?

✏️ Activity: Make Your Magic Number Pairs!

Let’s Create Pairs!

1. Color in pairs of numbers on your worksheet that add up to 10.
2. Use your crayons or markers to draw a picture of the numbers partying together!

Examples to Get You Started:

• 1 + 9 = 10
• 2 + 8 = 10
• 3 + 7 = 10
• 4 + 6 = 10

🤔 Think-Pair-Share

Once you've made your pairs, turn to a partner and share what you've discovered. How can different numbers work together to reach the magical number 10?

🎊 Conclusion: Celebrate Your Learning

After our exciting activities, we will come back together to celebrate what we've learned about making ten! Everyone will share their favorite number pairs and drawings. I can’t wait to hear your ideas!

Remember:

Math is like magic; it happens when we work together to bond our number friends! Are you ready to be a math magician today? Let’s begin! 🌟
