Decomposing Numbers to 10 : Make a Ten Addition Strategy Worksheet

Master addition strategies with this comprehensive 60 page decomposing numbers to 10 worksheet set! This worksheet is about decomposing numbers to make a ten to facilitate addition. It's perfect for 1st and 2nd-grade math centers and helps students understand how to break down numbers to reach a base of ten, which simplifies the addition process, and then find the total sum.

This worksheet is most suitable for 1st or 2nd-grade students. It focuses on foundational addition strategies, specifically making a ten as a method to add numbers more efficiently. This concept is typically introduced and reinforced in early elementary grades to build number sense and prepare students for more complex arithmetic.

This engaging worksheet set guides young learners through the process of breaking apart numbers to create a group of ten, then adding the remaining amount. It's an excellent tool for reinforcing place value concepts and developing efficient addition techniques with ample practice.

📘 Standards Common Core Alignment:

Grade 1 : 

• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.2: Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.B.2a: 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones—called a "ten."
• CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.C.4: Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.

Grade 2 : 

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.5: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
