Review – add one-digit numbers – sums to 10

🔢 What is Addition?

Addition means combining two numbers to make a bigger number.

We use the plus sign (+) and the equals sign (=).

  • Example: 3 + 2 = 5

🧮 Add One-Digit Numbers

We add numbers from 0 to 9.

Students should recall simple sums quickly.

  • Example: 4 + 5 = 9

🎯 Sums Should Be Up to 10

The total (answer) should not be more than 10.

Examples:

  • 1 + 4 = 5
  • 6 + 3 = 9
  • 5 + 5 = 10

👫 Using Counting Strategies

Students can solve using:

👉 Counting on (start with the bigger number)

  • Example: 6 + 2 → start with 6, count 2 more: 7, 8

👉 Counting with fingers

👉 Using objects (beads, sticks, blocks)


🧠 Number Bonds to 10 (Very Important!)

These pairs make 10:

  • 1 + 9
  • 2 + 8
  • 3 + 7
  • 4 + 6
  • 5 + 5

Knowing number bonds helps students add faster.


🎨 Using Pictures & Models

Students may see:

  • Dots
  • Counters
  • Ten-frames
  • Number lines

These help them understand addition clearly.


💡 Real-Life Examples

  • 4 bananas + 3 bananas = 7 bananas
  • 2 pencils + 5 pencils = 7 pencils

🏁 Practice Helps Speed!

  • Repeat small addition facts to build fluency and confidence.
