Exploring Number 10 with Cubes! – Numbers are like building blocks – Making the number 10 – Use 10 cubes to build the number 10 – Taking apart the number 10 – Break the 10 cubes into two groups – Fun with number 10 – How many ways can we make 10? | This slide introduces the concept of numbers as building blocks, emphasizing the number 10. Start by explaining that numbers can be put together and taken apart, just like building blocks. Show them how to make the number 10 using 10 individual cubes, then demonstrate how to take it apart into two smaller groups. Ask the children to explore different combinations of cubes that add up to 10, such as 5 and 5, 6 and 4, etc. This hands-on activity will help them understand the concept of decomposing numbers. Encourage the children to think creatively and find as many combinations as they can. This will set a strong foundation for addition and subtraction.

Exploring the Number 10 with Cubes – Understanding the number 10 – Ten is a big number after 9 – Counting to 10 as a group – Let’s say numbers 1 to 10 out loud together – Showing 10 on our fingers – Can we all hold up 10 fingers? – Using cubes to represent 10 – We’ll use 10 cubes to see what 10 looks like | This slide introduces the concept of the number 10 to Kindergarten students. Start by explaining that 10 is a special number that comes after 9. Engage the class by counting from 1 to 10 together, ensuring they understand the sequence. Then, ask the children to show 10 fingers to connect the abstract concept of ’10’ to something concrete they can see and use every day. Finally, introduce cubes as a physical representation of the number 10, which will be used in subsequent activities to ‘take apart’ and explore the number further. The goal is to make the concept of 10 tangible and relatable for young learners.

Building 10 with Cubes – Cubes help us make number 10 – Count and add cubes to reach 10 – Start with 0, add a cube, and say the numbers up to 10 – Each cube represents one unit – Understand 10 as a sum of cubes – Seeing 10 as 5 cubes and 5 cubes can help us understand addition | This slide introduces the concept of building the number 10 using physical cubes, which helps kindergarteners visualize and understand the concept of addition and the composition of numbers. Start by explaining that each cube represents one unit. Demonstrate how to count each cube one by one until you reach 10. Encourage the students to physically add cubes together as they count, reinforcing the idea that 10 is made up of smaller parts. This hands-on activity not only makes learning fun but also cements the foundational concept of addition. For the activity, provide different sets of cubes and ask the students to form groups of 10 in various configurations, such as 5 and 5, 6 and 4, etc., to show that there are multiple ways to make 10.

Taking Apart 10 with Cubes – Break 10 cubes into groups – Explore group combinations – Try 5 and 5, or 6 and 4 – How many ways to split 10? – Record your groupings – Draw or write the combinations | This slide is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of decomposing the number 10 into smaller groups using physical cubes. Encourage the students to physically manipulate the cubes to form different combinations that add up to 10. This hands-on activity will help them visualize the concept of number partitioning. As they work, ask them to record their findings by drawing or writing down the different ways they have split the number 10. This will serve as a great introduction to addition and subtraction. Provide guidance and ensure that each student is engaged and trying out different combinations on their own or in small groups.

Ways to Make 10 with Cubes – Break apart 10 into 7 and 3 – Using cubes, show 7 cubes and then add 3 more to make 10. – Break apart 10 into 8 and 2 – Start with 8 cubes, then add 2 more cubes to reach 10. – Break apart 10 into 9 and 1 – Place 9 cubes and add just 1 more to make 10. – Can you find more combinations? – Encourage kids to use their cubes to discover other pairs that add up to 10. | This slide is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of decomposing the number 10 into pairs of smaller numbers. Use physical cubes to demonstrate each combination, allowing the students to visualize the process. Encourage hands-on participation by having the students use their own sets of cubes to replicate the examples shown. After demonstrating the given combinations, challenge the students to use their cubes to find other ways to make 10. This activity will help reinforce their understanding of basic addition and the concept of number bonds. Provide guidance and ensure each student is engaged and able to participate in the activity.

Class Activity: Exploring Number 10 with Cubes – Play with cubes to make 10 – Split 10 cubes into two groups – Maybe you have 5 cubes in each group? – How did you break apart 10? – Did you try 6 and 4, or 7 and 3? – Share your groups with the class | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of the number 10 by physically manipulating objects. Provide each student with 10 cubes and instruct them to arrange their cubes to count up to 10. Then, have them separate the cubes into two groups in different ways, such as 5 and 5, 6 and 4, or 7 and 3, to visually and tangibly comprehend that the number 10 can be broken down into smaller numbers. Encourage creativity in how they take apart the number 10. After the activity, ask the students to share their findings with the class to reinforce their understanding and to practice their communication skills. Possible variations for different students could include using different colored cubes or combining the activity with a drawing exercise where they represent their groups on paper.

Great Job with Number 10! – Celebrate taking apart 10 – Numbers are fun to play with – Practice with toys at home – Use blocks or other toys to make groups of 10 – Keep exploring numbers – Try different combinations to take apart 10 | This slide is a conclusion to reinforce the concept of taking apart the number 10 using cubes. It’s a celebration of what the students have learned and an encouragement for them to continue exploring numbers through play. Remind them that math can be fun and encourage them to use their toys, like building blocks, to practice making and taking apart groups of 10. This will help solidify their understanding of the concept in a playful and engaging way. Suggest to parents to assist children in finding groups of 10 with everyday items to further this learning at home.
