Make Ten to Add: Match the Ten Frames

Learn to make ten by using ten frames with this first-grade worksheet! Students will match each equation to its corresponding ten frame model. Then, learners must write the sum to finish the addition sentence.

This worksheet introduces the basic concept of adding by making ten. By using a ten frame, students will see how the second addend can be broken apart to make ten with the first addend. This helps young learners build number sense and lays the foundation for using this strategy to solve equations on their own.
