Make Ten to Add Three Numbers

Add three numbers by making a 10 in this helpful worksheet! In each equation, two of the three addends are circled. Students will add the two circled numbers to make a 10, then add the third number to solve the addition sentence.

Geared toward first graders, this worksheet will introduce students to the strategy of making a 10 to add. By having the correct number pairs already circled, learners can take notice of how the strategy is used without needing to identify number pairs on their own. Once students are familiar with these number pairs, they can apply the strategy to add numbers with speed, ease, and accuracy.
