What goes with 0 to make 10?
In numbers: 0 plus what number is 10?
The box is the number we want.
0 + □ = 10
1 Show 0
A ten frame has 10 boxes.
2 Fill the empty boxes
How many boxes are empty?
We fill them with blue dots.
We count them.
3 Write the number
10 blue dots fill the frame.
So 0 and 10 make 10.
0 + 10 = 10
4 Check
We count all the dots.
We start at 0 and count on.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Yes!
It works.
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Let's look back.
First: show 0.
Then: fill the empty boxes.
Then: write the number.
