What is this practice?
Splitting 8 into two parts. There are 7 ways and all of them are here.
Why this level
Step: Grade 1 · Add & Subtract・Around ages 6–7, Grade 1 (guide)
The Taiwanese Grade 1 unit on composing and decomposing numbers, which comes before addition and subtraction. All 7 ways are on the sheet, so nothing is missed. The pairs that make ten are the ones reused later for carrying.
Ages are only a guide. Children of the same age can do different things, so each card also shows what a child can already do.
The sheet title and the note for grown-ups are printed in English. Words inside the activity itself stay in Japanese or Traditional Chinese.
For grown-ups
- Counters or fingers make the splitting concrete.
- Asking "four and how many make ten?" aloud speeds it up.
- Repeating the sheet for ten pays off later.
