Ten Frames with Black Dots, numbers 1-10

Ten Frames
These ten frame activities encourages children to think in sets of 5 and 10, and will help them on the road to visualizing addition and subtraction problems.

Below is a video demonstrating how one can use the ten frame in a subitizing fashion. Enjoy!




While using ten frame cards, discuss with your child(ren) how many more black dots would be needed to make ten, and why. Show different arrangements of dots within the ten frame that adds up to the same number, and have child(ren)write the numerals on a dry erase board for comparison. Arrange different combinations that add up to ten (1+9, 8+2, 7+3, 6+4, etc.). There are so many different ways to play with numbers, using both addition and subtraction within the ten frame. It was hard choosing, but here are my favorite websites: 

This blog by a teacher named Mrs.B, has some great ideas for using ten frames

I love both the FREE downloadable ten frames and * interactive* ten frames on Sparkle Box!! They also have five frames for those still working on numbers 1-5. What a GREAT website!!!

Download FREE ten frames from Teachers Pay Teachers


I'm attaching my favorite documents from get2MathK-5, that you may find useful for ten frame practice. The "Dot card games and Ten Frame Activities" document is especially full of activity ideas, providing the ten frames and numbers that the activities mention.
