Make Ten Facts Add Ten Facts Add Nine Facts

These pairs of numbers make 10. When you add 10 to a single-digit number,
To solve 9 + 4, take 1 To solve 7 + 9, take 1
the sum is always a teen number. from the 4 and give it from the 7 and give it
to the 9 to make 10 + 3. to the 9 to make 6 + 10.

0 + 10 = 10 1 + 9 = 10 2 + 8 = 10 9 + 4 = 10 + 3 7 + 9 = 6 + 10

10 + 4 = 14 7 + 10 = 17
9 + 4 = 13 7 + 9 = 16
3 + 7 = 10 4 + 6 = 10 5 + 5 = 10

6+0=6 0 + 10 = 10
7 + 3 = 10 5 + 5 = 10
Tip: Count on from the larger addend. 10 + 2 = 12 10 + 2 = 12
