Overview

This collection of math examples, titled "Getting to 10," explores foundational arithmetic concepts that help students build strong numerical reasoning skills. The examples focus on the concept of decomposing numbers to make 10, a critical strategy for addition and subtraction. Through these examples, students engage with visual models that simplify complex ideas, making abstract concepts more accessible.

The examples are structured to gradually increase in complexity, ensuring that students develop a deeper understanding of various arithmetic strategies, including mental math techniques and the use of number bonds. By analyzing multiple examples, students can identify patterns and generalize problem-solving strategies, which is key to mastering arithmetic.

Media4Math's resources offer significantly more examples than typically found in textbooks or digital curricula, providing teachers and students with diverse opportunities to practice and internalize these concepts. Subscribers to Media4Math also have access to the Slide Show Creator, a powerful tool for customizing presentations using these examples. This feature allows educators to tailor lessons to meet the needs of their students.
