My son has it and one of the first symptoms was his inability to learn his number facts. The best part is that it requires very little prep and is easy to set up. If you have students that need extra practice, you can direct parents to this post and they can make their own copy. You can use this game in a math center or have it on hand for early finishers. To help you provide some hands-on learning, here’s a quick game that will help your students practice combinations for 10, using manipulatives, cards, and ten frames That is how the connections are made and fluency develops. Ten-frames are wonderful tools, aren’t they? They allow the students to see and experience (as they place the manipulatives on the frame) how two numbers add up to ten. This kind of fluency begins with lots of hands-on experience with ten frames, objects and drawing. ![]() ![]() Or we can split the 7 into 6 and 1, use the 4 with the 6 to make 10, and add on the extra 1.īoth paths require a mental process and an understanding that 6+4=10.There are a number of ways we can reach the answer. Think of the skills that are involved in adding 4+7. So for example if a student experiments and discovers that 4 + 6 =10, they can eventually go onto add higher numbers in their head. We want them to REALLY UNDERSTAND how the numbers work so that they can start to develop number fluency. However, we don’t want our Kinders to simply memorize the number facts. The next building block requires learning the combinations for 5 and 10. Building addition fluency is such an important skill for Kinders! Being able to add, without counting on fingers, starts with the ability to quickly identify the number of items in a small set without counting. ![]()
