Completing the Addition Statement Up to 10
Practice finding the missing number in an addition statement up to 10 using number bonds, counting on, and ten frames.
What You'll Learn
Identify the missing addend in a statement like \(4 + ? = 9\) by counting on from 4 to 9.
Apply the part-whole idea that two parts always combine to make the whole, such as \(6 + ? = 10\).
Use a ten frame to see how many more counters are needed to fill it up to 10.
Count on using fingers or a number line to find the unknown number in an addition statement.
Check an answer by placing the missing number back into the statement to confirm both sides match.
