Answer by christian girl
The “,make a ten” strategy can be used for helping children add numbers to the number 9. The way it works is this:

1) Look for the facts that have the # 9 in them (9+5, 9+8, 4+9)

2) Remember that 10 + anything (single digit number)= anything teen
Example: 10+8= 18
10+4= 14 etc.

3) pretend that the number 9 in your problems is a ten to make it easier to solve.

4) so If you are doing 9+5
pretend the 9 is a ten and you know its 15

5) subtract 1
15-1 = 14

Get it? you found out that 9+5 = 14 by doing 10+5 -1
