Frequently asked questions
▶What does make 10 mean?
Making 10 means finding two numbers that add up to 10. For example, 3 and 7 make 10, and so do 4 and 6. Knowing all the pairs of 10 helps you add bigger numbers later.
▶How do I use the make-10 lab?
Pick any number from 0 to 10 with the slider. The lab will show you the matching number that completes 10. Try every number and you will learn all the pairs by heart.
▶When do we use number pairs of 10?
When you spend 7 rupees from a 10-rupee note, you get 3 rupees back. When you eat 4 biscuits from a pack of 10, 6 are left. These are real make-10 moments at home.
▶Did you know about pairs of 10?
There are only six special pairs to remember: 0 and 10, 1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7, 4 and 6, 5 and 5. Once you know these, mental maths feels much easier.
