Breaking Down Numbers and Addition Strategies

The video tutorial explains the concept of making a ten to simplify addition. It provides three examples: 7 + 5, 8 + 6, and 7 + 9. In each example, the smaller number is broken down to make a ten with the larger number, simplifying the addition process. This method helps in understanding and performing addition more efficiently.

What is the main idea behind the 'Make a Ten' strategy?

• To simplify addition by creating a ten

• To multiply numbers easily

• To divide numbers into smaller parts

• To subtract numbers quickly

What is the first step in the 'Make a Ten' strategy?

• Break the smaller number into parts

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger

• Draw the larger number

• Add the numbers directly

What is the purpose of breaking the smaller number into parts?

• To multiply the numbers

• To make it easier to subtract

• To make a ten with the larger number

• To divide the number equally

In the first example, how is the number 5 broken down?

• Into 5 and 0

• Into 4 and 1

• Into 3 and 2

• Into 2 and 3

What is the sum of 7 and 5 using the 'Make a Ten' strategy?

• 13

• 11

• 10

• 12

In the first example, what is the intermediate sum before adding the remaining circles?

• 7

• 8

• 10

• 9

In the first example, what is the final sum after adding all circles?

• 13

• 12

• 11

• 10

In the second example, what numbers do we break 6 into?

• 3 and 3

• 4 and 2

• 5 and 1

• 6 and 0

What is the result of adding 8 and 6 using the 'Make a Ten' strategy?

• 15

• 14

• 13

• 12

In the second example, what is the intermediate sum before adding the remaining circles?

• 9

• 11

• 8

• 10
