Whilst learning about pairs to 10, the tudents used bottle caps, in an investigation, to determine which are the number pairs that make 10. Using concrete objects helps the children to learn by doing. It also enables them to understand the concepts being taught better. Then, the students moved on to pictorial representations of the pairs to 10 and finally, they also worked out sums (pairs to 10) mentally as well as with written methods.
