Facts to 10

This week we have been focusing on learning our facts to 10.  We have been singing a song to the tune of This Old Man:

Make a 10,

Make a 10, 

We know ways to make a 10.

9+1 and 8+2,

They have sums of 10 it's true.

7+3 and 6+4,

Do you know there are two more?

5+5 and 0+10.

Now let's say them all again!

Today we practiced by playing some card games.  We played Go Fish and Make a 10.  Both of these games required the students to know what goes with a number to make 10.  It is a great way to practice and would be a fun game to practice over vacation.  Knowing the facts to 10 can help students be more efficient and quicker in their other addition facts.
