It looks like you've uploaded a math worksheet titled
"Make a 10", which is designed to help students practice addition by using the strategy of making a group of 10. The goal is to add two numbers and see if they make 10, or to use "making ten" as a mental math strategy.
Let’s go through each problem step by step and solve them.
---
🔢 First Row:
These are all
addition problems:
1.
3 + 5 = ?
→ 3 + 5 =
8
2.
4 + 2 = ?
→ 4 + 2 =
6
3.
2 + 5 = ?
→ 2 + 5 =
7
4.
8 + 3 = ?
→ 8 + 3 =
11
---
🔢 Second Row:
5.
6 + 5 = ?
→ 6 + 5 =
11
6.
3 + 8 = ?
→ 3 + 8 =
11
7.
9 + 7 = ?
→ 9 + 7 =
16
8.
7 + 6 = ?
→ 7 + 6 =
13
---
🔢 Third Row:
9.
5 + 5 = ?
→ 5 + 5 =
10 ✔ (This makes 10!)
10.
2 + 9 = ?
→ 2 + 9 =
11
11.
4 + 3 = ?
→ 4 + 3 =
7
12.
4 + 1 = ?
→ 4 + 1 =
5

🎯 What is “Make a 10”?
The
"Make a 10" strategy is a foundational math skill where students learn to break apart numbers to make a sum of 10, which makes addition easier.
For example:
- To solve
8 + 5, think: 8 needs
2 to make 10.
- Break 5 into 2 and 3.
- So: 8 + 2 = 10, then 10 + 3 = 13.
But in this worksheet, it seems the focus is on
practicing simple addition and identifying when sums equal 10.
Only one problem results in exactly 10:
✔ 5 + 5 = 10

✔ Final Answers:
| Problem | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| 3 + 5 | 8 |
| 4 + 2 | 6 |
| 2 + 5 | 7 |
| 8 + 3 | 11 |
| 6 + 5 | 11 |
| 3 + 8 | 11 |
| 9 + 7 | 16 |
| 7 + 6 | 13 |
| 5 + 5 |
10 ✔ |
| 2 + 9 | 11 |
| 4 + 3 | 7 |
| 4 + 1 | 5 |

🧠 Key Takeaway:
The only sum that equals
10 is
5 + 5. This may be the main point of the exercise — to identify which pair adds up to 10.
If this is part of a larger lesson, students might be encouraged to circle or highlight the
"make a 10" problem (i.e., 5 + 5).

✔ Summary:
-
Solve each addition problem.
-
Identify which ones make 10.
- Only
5 + 5 = 10.
- The rest are just practice for basic addition.
