Adding and taking away within 10

Put apples together, take some away and compare. Then make 10 from two numbers.

Guide

This studio is for Year 1. Your child works with counters and answers by tapping a number, so no writing is needed. If they can't read yet, read the sentences to them.

A ten-frame has two rows of 5. When counters sit in it, a child can see that 7 is "5 and 2 more" without counting every one.

addition means putting two groups together. subtraction means taking away, or comparing two groups (how many more?). The last mission splits 10 into two parts: these are the number bonds of 10.
