Objective
This worksheet-style practice uses one page per target number and presents every number pair for 7 and 8 as numeral equations in two columns.
What this practice covers
This worksheet-style practice uses one page per target number and presents every number pair for 7 and 8 as numeral equations in two columns. Each target page begins with a worked example, and every remaining equation has one missing addend.
Standards alignment
Supports Common Core: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.3 — Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way.
Who it’s for
This practice is for kindergarten learners who count reliably through ten and are ready to combine two small groups. It supports the transition from counting individual objects to understanding that two parts can be joined to make one total.
What to know first
- Learners should recognize numerals from 0 to 10, count a small group accurately, and understand the words add, plus, and altogether. Memorized addition facts are not required; the visual is there to support reasoning.
Difficulty and scaffolding
Foundational · Abstract stage
Problem representations
- Numerical equation
Three worked examples
- To make 7 from 3, the missing part is 4: 3 + 4 = 7.
- Five and 3 make 8.
- Seven and 0 make 7.
Likely misconceptions
- Learners may answer with the target or recount the known part. Name the whole first, then count on from the known part until reaching 7 or 8.
Hints and explanations
- To make 7 from 3, the missing part is 4: 3 + 4 = 7.
- Five and 3 make 8.
- Seven and 0 make 7.
What to practice next
Extend the same decomposition strategy to making 9 and 10, then connect the visual pairs to missing-addend equations.

Making 7, 8 FAQs
What does it mean to make 7 or 8?
It means finding two parts whose total is 7 or 8. For example, 3 and 4 make 7, while 3 and 5 make 8.
Can the parts appear in either order?
Yes. Four and 3 make the same total as 3 and 4. Seeing both orders strengthens understanding of addition.
Does zero count as a part?
Yes. Seven and zero make 7, and eight and zero make 8.
How can a learner check an answer?
Combine the known part and missing part. Their sum must equal the target shown in the problem.
