This resource presents students with story problem scenarios allowing them to become familiar with deciding if they need to add or subtract. The problems are not meant to be solved for numerical answers.

Students need to know their addition combinations to ten, period! Here is a useful tool for coloring with two colors to show ways to make ten. Kids then add the equations (written both ways, such as 4+6 and 6+4), then fill out a number bond (10 in the big box, 4 and 6 in the small boxes). I hope you'll find it as useful as I do! As requested, the file now includes adding to 2 thru 10!

Use these pages to scaffold teaching multiple ways to add to a number (2-10), or subtract from a number 2-10. This is the master file with all my number bond addition and subtraction pages! My original "making 10 with number bonds", plus new making 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 pages, and subtracting from 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (not pictured). Students color the circles (red and yellow to match a common math manipulative), then use the coloring to complete the equation and the flipped equation,

Roll two dice, then two more (or the second player can roll). Record, add, and compare which total is higher! A fun way for kids to get addition practice as well as comparing numbers!

Eureka Module 4, Lesson 11, or any curriculum and your kids need practice with mentally adding and subtracting tens! Several in each group provide enough practice before switching to the next type of problem.

Numerous skills are tested or able to be practiced with this set of pages. Counting correctly past 40, comparing using greater than, less than, and the equals symbol, stating numbers one less than and one more than, showing ways to make 10 and 11, numbers in correct order, matching equations to pictures for addition and subtraction, missing addend in several positions, and matching numerals to number words.
