Friends of 10

Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about some special number friends. These friends like to come together to make the number 10. Let’s find out who they are!

When you add two numbers together and they make 10, we call them “friends of 10.” Here are some of these friendly pairs:

  • 5 and 5
  • 6 and 4
  • 8 and 2
  • 9 and 1

Isn’t it fun how these numbers work together to make 10?

More Friends of 10

But wait, there are more number friends! Check out these pairs:

  • 3 and 7
  • 1 and 9
  • 7 and 3
  • 0 and 10

These numbers also love to team up and make 10!

Let’s Practice!

Now that you know some friends of 10, can you think of any other pairs that make 10? Try adding different numbers together and see if they become friends of 10 too!

Remember, learning about numbers is like making new friends. The more you practice, the more fun it gets!

  • Can you find any objects around you that come in pairs or groups that add up to 10? What are they, and how do they remind you of the number friends?
  1. Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your house or classroom. Look for objects that can be grouped to make 10. For example, you might find 6 pencils and 4 erasers. Can you find other objects that add up to 10? Share your findings with a friend or family member!

  2. Friendship Bracelets: Create friendship bracelets using beads. Use two different colors of beads to represent the friends of 10. For example, use 5 red beads and 5 blue beads to make a bracelet. Try making bracelets with other pairs like 6 and 4 or 8 and 2. Wear your bracelet and show it to your friends!

  3. Story Time: Imagine a story where numbers are characters who love to make friends. Draw a picture of two number friends meeting and making 10. Write a short story about their adventure. What do they do when they come together? Share your story with the class!
