The idea of this island
Why it matters
Knowing by heart that 3 and 2 make 5, or that 7 and 3 make 10, is the basis of mental math: it lets kids add and subtract without counting one by one.

- 1 Pairs that make 5 Pairs that make 5: how many are hiding?
- 2 Pairs that make 10 Pairs that make 10.
- 3 How many more to make 10? How many more to make 10?
- 4 Adding and subtracting to 10 Adding and subtracting to 10.
- 5 Island review Pipo makes mistakes with everything from the island, then a mix, and the Big game (the check-up).
By the end of the island, your child will be able to…
- Know the pairs that make 5 and 10
- Find the missing part
- Add and subtract to 10
