Making Ten

We started to explore ways to make 10 today, an important foundation skill in math. We will explore this concept in many ways this week and throughout the year. Today, students used unifix cubes to make sticks of 10 with two colors. They then showed the corresponding number models on a recording page. In another math station, students play the math game "Penny Cup" on the computer, which is a game that helps children practice combinations of 10 in a different format.
