It’s Time for Ten More and Ten Less! Math Practice

Prep your youngest mathematicians and get them ready to master their math facts by starting with a simple strategy – ten more and ten less. This worksheet is best used as an independent practice to assess your students’ understanding of foundational math concepts and basic operations.

 Using Your 10 More and 10 Less Worksheet 

In addition to individual student work time, this worksheet can be used for the following:

• Guided math groups 
• Classroom math station/center 
• Pre-lesson knowledge assessment 
• Post-lesson exit ticket 
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

Got fast finishers? Challenge students who have a grasp on the concept by encouraging them to practice with two more and two less and ten more and ten less.

For students who need more support with adding and subtracting 10, provide manipulatives like connecting cubes or counters to help them visualize the concept. Students can also refer to a hundreds chart or desk plate.
