Making 10 Worksheets

About This Worksheet Collection

This engaging Making 10 worksheet collection is designed to give young learners repeated, meaningful practice with one of the most important benchmark numbers in early math. Through drawing, counting, tracing, and visual completion activities, these worksheets make abstract number concepts concrete and approachable for kindergarten and early first grade students. The variety of themes-fruits, animals, objects, shapes, and playful scenes-keeps practice fresh while maintaining a consistent instructional focus that teachers can rely on.

As students work through this collection, they build a strong foundation in number sense by learning how quantities combine to make ten. The activities support one-to-one correspondence, careful counting, visual reasoning, and early part-part-whole understanding. Many worksheets also integrate fine motor development and creativity, helping learners strengthen pencil control alongside math skills. Together, these resources prepare students for addition strategies while building confidence, accuracy, and fluency with numbers.

Detailed Descriptions Of These Worksheets

Drawing to Complete Ten (Fruits)
Students observe a group of fruit images and determine how many more are needed to reach ten. They draw the missing items, reinforcing careful counting and quantity comparison. The visual context helps learners internalize ten as a complete group. This activity supports both independent work and guided instruction.

Completing Ten With Ladybugs
Learners count the spots already shown on each ladybug and decide how many additional spots are required. By drawing directly on the images, students connect counting with visual completion. The familiar insect theme helps sustain focus and motivation. This worksheet is ideal for early number sense practice.

Counting Objects in a Grid
Students work within a structured grid to count objects and complete each set to ten. The organized layout encourages orderly counting and reduces common errors. Learners analyze quantities across different categories, strengthening visual discrimination. This worksheet also serves as a helpful formative assessment tool.

Drawing Ten Apples
Learners represent the number ten by drawing apples on a tree scene. The open-ended design encourages creativity while requiring accurate counting. Students practice creating a full set from scratch rather than completing a partial one. This activity blends art and math in a developmentally appropriate way.

Drawing Dots and Recording Addends
Students examine a given quantity, draw additional dots to make ten, and record how many were added. This dual representation helps connect visual models with written numbers. Learners begin developing part-part-whole understanding through hands-on practice. The worksheet provides clear insight into student thinking.

Drawing Ten Candles
Children draw ten candles on a birthday cake, counting carefully as they work. The playful theme adds excitement while reinforcing accuracy. Students learn to recognize when a complete set has been created. This worksheet works especially well for number-of-the-day activities.

Drawing Ten Shapes
Students draw ten of each specified shape within organized boxes. The activity reinforces both shape recognition and counting precision. Learners must monitor their work closely to ensure the correct quantity. This worksheet supports math vocabulary alongside number sense.

Completing Ten With Watermelon Seeds
Learners count the seeds shown and add the correct number to reach ten. The clear visual model supports counting-on strategies. Drawing each seed reinforces one-to-one correspondence. This worksheet provides immediate visual confirmation of accuracy.

Drawing Additional Objects
Students analyze each row, count the existing objects, and draw what is missing to make ten. The variety of object types keeps practice engaging. Learners develop flexibility in recognizing missing quantities. Repeated exposure strengthens mastery of composing ten.

Drawing Cars to Make Ten
Children count the cars already shown and draw more to complete the set. The vehicle theme appeals to many learners and supports sustained attention. Students practice careful counting before adding objects. This worksheet is well suited for math centers.

Completing Ten With Eggs
Learners count eggs in a nest and draw additional ones until there are ten. The gentle, familiar theme makes the task inviting and accessible. Students strengthen counting accuracy and number completion skills. This activity reinforces ten as a meaningful benchmark number.

Drawing Ten Flower Petals
Students draw petals around a flower center until the total reaches ten. The creative format encourages engagement while maintaining mathematical precision. Learners count objects they create themselves, reinforcing accountability. This worksheet blends artistic expression with number representation.

Tracing and Coloring Ten Scoops of Ice Cream
Learners trace and color ice cream scoops while counting to ten. The structured tracing supports developing fine motor skills. Students experience repeated visual reinforcement of the quantity ten. This worksheet is ideal for calm, independent practice time.

Tracing and Coloring Grapes
Students trace and color individual grapes to form a complete group of ten. The clustered visual helps learners see how single objects create a set. Careful tracing promotes focus and control. This activity strengthens one-to-one correspondence through repetition.
