Making 10 Using Tally Marks

Here’s another way kids can practice making 10 – using tally marks! In this set of worksheets kids count the tally marks already in the problem, draw the needed number of tally marks to make 10, and fill in the missing addend. The worksheets have a selection of only the first or the second addend missing and a mix of both addends missing. Early finishers can create their own tally mark addition problems on the back!
