Making Ten

This past week we have been working on the Addition strategy called "Making Ten".  We learned and tried to memorize all the different ways we can make 10.(There are 11 different ways!  See if your child can tell you what they are.)
Since it was Friday, we used our Math period to practice this strategy by playing games!  Here are some pictures of the students playing different "Making Ten" games.

Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day!
