Using the Tidy Numbers Strategy

We are learning how to use the Tidy Number strategy using tens frames. When we use this strategy we make a ten using the numbers in the equation so it is easier to count. For example if we had the equation 6+5 = ? We could take 4 from the 5 and give it to the 6 to make our equation 10 + 1 = 11. We use basic facts that we know to help use find the answer.
