FAQ

What mental math strategy relies heavily on knowing decompositions of 9?

The 'make a ten' strategy for adding 9 (e.g., 9+6: move 1 from 6 to 9 to make 10+5=15) is powered by knowing that 9 and 1 make 10.

How many distinct number bonds does the number 9 have?

There are 10 number bonds for 9: (0,9), (1,8), (2,7), (3,6), (4,5), (5,4), (6,3), (7,2), (8,1), (9,0) — each representing an addition or subtraction fact pair.

Should number bonds for 9 be introduced before or after number bonds for 10?

Many teachers introduce 10 first since it has the most visual clarity, then move to 9 as students apply the make-ten decompositions they already know.
