MATH TO TRY TOGETHER

Help your child add 8 + 5 by making ten

Adding 8 + 5? Fill up to 10 first, then add what is left.

Try it with your child

Start with 8 counters and add 2 more to make 10, leaving 3 of the extra 5. Ask your child to explain why 10 + 3 gives the same total as 8 + 5. Try 9 + 4 next: how many counters move to make ten?
