Below is a song that we often sing to remember our friends of 10 facts in class.
This relates to the Mathematics Curriculum outcome of:
Represent and solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of strategies including counting on, partitioning and rearranging parts (ACMNA015)
Last week, we played the friends of 10 card game and had a lot of fun finding the friends in our stack of cards. If you want to play at home, you can use a simple deck of cards and you need a partner. Take out all of the 10's, jacks, queens, kings and jokers and play the ace's as the number one.
Share out the cards so each player gets 5 cards each and the remaining cards go into a pile between the two players. Make as many friends of 10 pairs as you can and then you can take turns in asking the other player if they have your matching card (eg. if you have a 2 ask your opponent if they have an 8). Keep playing until all the cards are gone and then declare the winner!
Here are some photos of our amazing class practising their friends of 10 facts.
Have a lovely night
