Decomposing Making a Ten

Example:
8   +   5 =  ____        1. Decompose smaller number into number bond (parts) to make
        ↙ ↘                       bigger number 10.                 
       2   3                  2.  Make a 10  (8 + 2 = 10).
8 + 2 = 10                3.  Rewrite equation with 10 (10 + 3 (the other part)).
10 + 3 = 13
