Combinations of 10

Family Note
Earlier in the year, your child explored pairs of numbers that add to 10. Recognizing these pairs of numbers helps with mastering many addition facts. Today your child worked with these number pairs again and categorized them formally as a group of facts known as combinations of 10.

Question 1.
Do Two-Fisted Penny Addition with someone at home:

• Make a pile of 10 pennies.
• The person at home grabs some pennies with one hand and keeps that hand closed.
• Count the pennies left in the pile and decide how many pennies are in the closed hand.
• Fill in the table. Record more on the back of this sheet.

Explanation:
Number of Pennies in the Pile +  Number of Pennies in the closed hand = Number model.

Practice
Question 2.
How many pennies? Remember to include a unit.
__________
Total number of Pennies = 6 or Six.
Cost of all pennies = $9 or Nine Dollars. Explanation: Number of face pennies = 3 Number of symbol pennies = 3 Total number of Pennies = Number of face pennies + Number of symbol pennies = 3 + 2 = 6 or Six. Cost of each face penny =$1
=> Cost of all face pennies = 3 × $1 =$3.
Cost of each symbol penny = $2 => Cost of all symbol pennies =$2 × 3 = $6. Cost of all pennies = Cost of all face pennies + Cost of all symbol pennies =$3 + $6 =$9 or Nine Dollars.
