USE COUNTERS TELL HOW TO MAKE 10 WHEN ADDING 8 + 5.
WHAT!?!??!!
That is the most ridiculous thing is have ever read.....
To visually represent adding 8 and 5 using counters, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Start with 8 counters arranged in a row.
Step 2: Add 5 more counters to the right of the row.
Step 3: Count the total number of counters. You will find that there are 13 counters in total.
Step 4: To make 10 using the counters, remove 3 counters from the right side of the row.
Step 5: Count the remaining counters. You will see that there are now 10 counters.
So, to make 10 when adding 8 and 5 using counters, you would need to remove 3 counters from the total of 13 counters.
To represent the addition of 8 + 5 using counters, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Start with 8 counters.
Step 2: Place all 8 counters in one group.
Step 3: Add 2 more counters to the group, bringing the total to 10.
Step 4: Take out 3 counters from the group. The remaining counters will be equal to 10.
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
1. Start with 8 counters:
* Draw or imagine 8 circles to represent the first number, which is 8.

2. Place all 8 counters in one group:
* Gather all the counters and group them together.

3. Add 2 more counters to the group, bringing the total to 10:
* Add two more counters to the existing group.

4. Take out 3 counters from the group:
* Remove three counters from the group, representing the second number, which is 5.

By following these steps with counters, you can visually represent 8 + 5 and see that it equals 10.
It is an old trick, I add that way. I just taught it to my third grader a couple of weeks ago.
8+5
eight is close to ten....
8+2 is ten, but if I add 2 to 8, I have to subtract 2 from five ...
8+2 + 5-2
10+3
13
Practice it. Remember: what you add to one number you have to subtract from the other.
