Yr1 Maths - Exploring Ways to Make 10

Today in Year 1, we had a fantastic maths lesson all about the number 10! Our challenge was: “How many different ways can we make 10?”

To help us, we used tens frames and cubes. The children worked in pairs to explore number bonds

like 6 + 4, 7 + 3 and so on. They recorded their ideas and shared them with the class.

Once we had lots of examples, Mrs Wilson put them on the working wall – but one was missing! The children had to be detectives and spot which combination wasn’t there. This was so much fun and really made us think carefully about our work.
