The document introduces bridging to 10 when adding single-digit numbers. It demonstrates making the first number up to 10 then counting on the remaining amount using the examples 9+4 and 7+5. Learners are then asked to solve 8+7 by themselves using the same method of making 8 up to 10 then counting on the remaining 7.

1. Bridging through 10
Learning objectives:
• To begin to bridge through 10 when
adding a single digit number

2. 9 + 4 = ?
+

3. What should we do?
Let’s make the first number up
to 10 and count on what is
left!

4. 9 + 4 = ? 9 + 1 = 10
10 + 3 = 13
+

5. 7 + 5 = ?
+

6. What should we do now?
That’s right! We can make the
first number up to 10 and
count on what is left!

7. 7 + 5 = ? 7 + 3 = 10
10 + 2 = 12
+

8. Do you think you have got
it?
Try this!

9. 8 + 7 = ?
Think about what we have practised.
Make the first number up to ten and count on
what is left.

10. Ready…

11. 8+ 7 = ?
8 + 2 = 10
And… 10 + 5 = …

12. 15 !
Were you right?
