Friends of Ten

This weeks math centers are focusing on adding and subtracting to ten. We listened to the song "Friends of Ten" to help reinforce number pairs that make ten. We are using break apart sticks to find the different combinations, we are using ten frames and our fingers to compose partners of ten. It's important that they are able to explain their thinking while working. For example, how do you know six and four make ten(or are partners of ten)? Acceptable response: " I know six and four make ten because I started with six dots in my ten frame and drew four more in to fill in the frame. Therefore I know that 6+4=10.
