Learning to quickly identify groups of 10 will be very helpful when your students begin working with multiple digit numbers. In this lesson, your students will work with manipulatives to make number pairs.

Help students gain confidence in recognizing multiples of 10 as they critique a flawed response. Use as a stand-alone scaffolded EL support lesson or prior to teaching Big Spenders.

Roll some dice to introduce the early concepts of associative and commutative properties in addition by composing and decomposing 10. Worksheets and a quiz are included!
