Ways To Make 10 Lesson Plan
Instructional Objective:
● SWBAT create a list of combinations to make ten using two addends and manipulatives.
Content: This lesson focuses on students’ ability to see 10 in a variety of ways, not just the
common ways (ex: 5+5 or 6+4). They will be challenged to make a combination that is different
from their teammate, to ensure that they have covered all combinations.
Today we are going to be thinking about all the different ways to make 10 by playing a little
game. But first, I want to tell you a story. One day, I decided to make a fruit salad. My favorite
fruits are grapes and cherries. So I combined a ton of grapes and a ton of cherries into a bowl
and mixed them all up. Then I went to serve myself and I scooped 10 fruits into my bowl. I want
you to tell me how many cherries and how many grapes I could have scooped into my bowl if I
had ten pieces of fruit in total. Keep one thing in mind, there are many different ways to answer
this question..
Person 2 would then make a different combination and say it out loud. This will continue until
you believe you have made all the possible combinations to make 10.
Note: No combinations can be repeated, however, 6 cherries and 4 grapes is different from 6
grapes and 4 cherries.
● Have students begin the game and work to room to provide any additional assistance
and/or encouragement.
Closing (2 minutes):
Let’s do a quick share out. Let’s go around and share some combinations that we came up with
● Record combinations on board
If time permits: check to see if students notice patterns with the combinations (as one increases
the other decreases).
SUPPORTING ALL LEARNERS
As you think about supporting all learners, think about the Principles of Universal Design for
Learning (UDL), and utilize resources at the following links:
Learner Factors: What will you do to ensure success from all students? Specifically students on
individual education plans, English language learners (at a variety of English language levels), and
students who may need an extended challenge. Highlight all that apply.
Re-read directions
Specific Examples:
Support #1:Use manipulatives: Rather than having students come up with a list of number
sentences off the top of their heads, they will have the opportunity to use cubes to help them see
the combinations and existing patterns.
Support #2: Alternative Response format: Students are given the opportunity to answer this
question orally and they can record their number sentences as a way of keeping track if they
would like.
Support #3: Seat Students strategically near one another: Students will be working in teams
to complete this task. This can be helpful because a student might not be able to think of an
additional combination but someone else in the group might be able to think of it.
Materials:
● Chart Paper
● Markers
● Cubes
● Ways to make 10 handout
Follow-up: After this lesson, students will be able to notice combination patterns. Students will
also begin making combinations for numbers greater than 10.
