Good Morning, Reception.

Yesterday, we were solving Maths word problems which all added up to 10.

Today, I would like you to investigate how many different pairs of numbers you can find which add up to  the number 10.

You can do this in whichever way that you choose. Here are some ideas:

  • You could find 10 objects and separate them in different ways.

  •  You could count on from a number to find the difference to 10.

  •  You could print these number frames, cut them out and join them back together to make 10.

  • You could print this grid and draw in the dots to find the pairs.

You can record your answers in any way that you choose. You might choose to record using real objects or by drawing  pictures and then write the number for the final answers or you might choose to record using a number sentence such as 4+6=10.

I am looking forward to hearing all about it.

Love from Miss Siswick.

  1. We found 5 ways to pair the 10 blocks.

    4+6= 10
    5+ 5 = 10
    7+3 = 10
    8+2 = 10
    9+ 1= 10

    Also found that 0 + 10 = 10

    We sent you a picture.

  2. Ms Pereira says:

    Well done Philippa!

  3. James can add and subtract to 10. We did this by using ten items arranged in pairs. We then when on to add and subtract to 20. He wasn’t quite as confident about this.

  11. Ryan found 5 ways to count to 10 using counters and then did the same with Lego toys

  12. Good morning Miss,

    Cesar did the exercise. We used Lego bricks in looking at different combinations. He found that you can reach 10 in adding the bricks in several combinations:
    1 to 9, 2 to 8, 3 to 7, 4 to 6, 5 to 5, 6 to 4, 7 to 3, 8 to 2, 9 to 1 and 10 to 0 or 0 to10.

  13. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done; Madeleine, Ryan and Cesar.

  14. Miss Siswick says:

    Don’t forget that 0+10 also adds up to 10!

  15. Hi Miss Siswick, Juliana found different ways of pairing the numbers with her toys and paired them on the grid as well.
