How Many More Make 10

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematical exercise designed to help students practice addition and develop an understanding of number complements to 10. The worksheet presents a series of boxes with a certain number of dots, each representing numbers from 1 to 9, and students are required to determine how many more dots are needed to reach a total of 10. The task involves writing the missing number in the blank space provided. This is a fundamental skill in arithmetic that helps with mental math and understanding the concept of ‘making ten,’ a key strategy in early math education.

The worksheet is crafted to teach students the concept of number bonds, specifically the pairs of numbers that add up to 10. By recognizing these patterns, children can more easily perform mental calculations and understand the base-ten number system, which is the foundation of our numerical system. It also encourages the development of number sense and the ability to quickly identify the addends of 10, an important skill for future mathematics learning. The “How Did You Do?” section at the bottom allows students to self-evaluate their grasp of the concept after practicing.
