Bridging through 10 Learning objectives: • To begin to bridge through 10 when adding a single digit number 9 + 4 = ? + What should we do? Let’s make the first number up to 10 and count on what is left! 9 + 4 = ? 9 + 1 = 10 10 + 3 = 13 + 7 + 5 = ? + What should we do now? That’s right! We can make the first number up to 10 and count on what is left! 7 + 5 = ? 7 + 3 = 10 10 + 2 = 12 + Do you think you have got it? Try this! 8 + 7 = ? Think about what we have practised. Make the first number up to ten and count on what is left. Ready… 8+ 7 = ? 8 + 2 = 10 And… 10 + 5 = … 15 ! Were you right?
