What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students find the partner number that combines with a given number from 1 through 9 to make 10. They record the pair with a drawing or equation.

What Mastery Looks Like

Given 6, the student finds 4 and shows 6 + 4 = 10. The student can explain the missing part with objects, fingers, or a ten-frame.

Common Misconceptions

Students may state the next counting number instead of the missing part. They may fill a ten-frame incorrectly or count occupied spaces rather than empty spaces.

How to Assess It

Show seven counters on a ten-frame. Ask how many more make 10 and require a drawing or equation.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Fill part of a ten-frame with counters, then count and record the empty spaces needed to make 10.

  2. Ask students how a ten-frame shows the partner for 8 without counting every space.

  3. Play make-ten memory with number cards whose pairs total 10.

  4. Pack sets of 10 classroom items by finding how many more each partly filled container needs.
