10 More 10 Less Practice Worksheet + Scaffolding and Extension Tips
Encourage fast finishers to think of random numbers and then find 10 more and less of those numbers on the back of their worksheets.
You can also stretch your students’ skills by using only the first page of the worksheet, requiring students to find the sums and differences without the answers already provided on the second page.
For students who need more support with adding and subtracting 10, provide manipulatives like base 10 blocks to help them visualize the concept. Students can also refer to a hundreds chart or other number display.
