Let's solve the "Ten Frame: Let's Make 10" worksheet step by step. The goal is to
fill in the missing number in each addition sentence so that the total equals 10. We'll use the ten frames (a grid of 10 boxes) to help us visualize how many more are needed to make 10.

🔹 Problem 1:
7 + ___ = 10
- The ten frame shows 7 circles.
- To make 10, we need:
$ 10 - 7 = 3 $
- So,
draw 3 more circles and write
3.
✔ Answer: 7 + 3 = 10
---
🔹 Problem 2:
3 + ___ = 10
- Ten frame has 3 circles.
- Need: $ 10 - 3 = 7 $
- Draw 7 more circles.
✔ Answer: 3 + 7 = 10
---
🔹 Problem 3:
5 + ___ = 10
- 5 circles shown.
- Need: $ 10 - 5 = 5 $
- Draw 5 more.
✔ Answer: 5 + 5 = 10
---
🔹 Problem 4:
1 + ___ = 10
- Only 1 circle shown.
- Need: $ 10 - 1 = 9 $
- Draw 9 more.
✔ Answer: 1 + 9 = 10
---
🔹 Problem 5:
4 + ___ = 10
- 4 circles shown.
- Need: $ 10 - 4 = 6 $
- Draw 6 more.
✔ Answer: 4 + 6 = 10
---
🔹 Problem 6:
8 + ___ = 10
- 8 circles shown.
- Need: $ 10 - 8 = 2 $
- Draw 2 more.
✔ Answer: 8 + 2 = 10

🎯 Explanation:
This activity teaches
number bonds to 10, which is a foundational skill in early math. By using ten frames, children can visually see how numbers combine to make 10. Each blank is filled with the
complement of the given number to reach 10.
You can complete the worksheet by drawing the missing circles in the empty boxes of each ten frame and writing the correct number in the blank.
