Welcome to Counting with Ten Frames! – Greet our little mathematicians – Ten frames help us understand numbers – A ten frame is a 2×5 grid that we fill with objects to show numbers – Practice counting to 10 together – We’ll count objects in ten frames up to 10 – Fun with ten frames activity – Use items like stickers or drawings to fill the ten frames | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of counting using ten frames. Start by engaging the students with a warm welcome and acknowledging them as ‘little mathematicians’ to build their interest. Explain that ten frames are tools that help us visualize numbers and understand counting better. Encourage the students to count aloud from 1 to 10 as a group to create a collaborative learning environment. For the activity, provide each student with a ten frame and small items like stickers or drawings to fill in the frames as they count. This hands-on activity will help solidify their understanding of numbers and counting sequences. Make sure to walk around the classroom to assist and praise the students for their efforts.

Learning with Ten Frames – What is a Ten Frame? – A tool with 10 equal squares to learn numbers – Ten Frames make counting fun – Helps us count up to 10 using objects or drawings – Adding with Ten Frames – Place more items to count all together – Subtracting with Ten Frames – Take away items to see what number is left | Introduce the concept of a ten frame as a simple, yet powerful educational tool for early math learners. Explain that it is a rectangle divided into 10 equal sections that can be filled with objects or marks to represent numbers up to 10. This visual aid is excellent for helping children understand the concept of counting, addition, and subtraction in a hands-on way. Demonstrate how to use a ten frame with examples, such as placing 5 objects in it and then adding 2 more to count to 7. Similarly, show subtraction by starting with a full ten frame and removing a few items to find the remaining number. Encourage students to practice with physical ten frames or drawings in their notebooks.

Counting with Ten Frames – Ten frames introduction – A ten frame has 10 squares to fill with dots. – One dot represents number 1 – Placing one dot in a square counts as 1. – Fill the frame and count – We’ll add dots to each square and count up to 10. – Practice makes perfect | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of ten frames, which are tools used to teach counting and number patterns up to 10. Start by explaining that each square in the ten frame represents one unit. Show them how placing one dot in a square means the number 1. As you fill the ten frame with dots, encourage the students to count aloud together. This interactive activity helps them visualize the numbers and understand the concept of quantity. After the demonstration, give each student a ten frame and let them practice filling it in and counting the dots. This hands-on experience reinforces their counting skills and number recognition.

Numbers 1 to 5 on Ten Frames – Visualizing numbers 1 to 5 – Each spot on a ten frame represents one unit. – Filling ten frames correctly – Start from the top left, fill spots to show numbers. – Recognize the number 3 frame – Find the frame with three spots filled in. – Practice with ten frames | This slide introduces students to the concept of ten frames and how to use them to visualize numbers 1 through 5. Emphasize the importance of starting from the top left corner when filling in the ten frames. Use physical ten frames in class to demonstrate, and then ask the students to identify the frame that represents the number 3. Encourage them to use their fingers to count the filled spots. For practice, provide various ten frames with different numbers of spots filled in and ask the students to identify the numbers. This hands-on activity will help solidify their understanding of counting and number representation using ten frames.

Exploring Numbers 6 to 10 with Ten Frames – Visualize numbers 6 to 10 – Use ten frames to show 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 – Add dots to fill the frames – Start with 6 dots, add more until you reach 10 – Recognize the full ten frame – A full ten frame represents the number 10 – Practice with ten frames – Find examples of 6-10 using objects around you | This slide is aimed at helping Pre-K students understand the concept of numbers 6 to 10 using ten frames. A ten frame is a simple visual tool that helps children count, recognize numbers, and build number sense. By placing dots in the ten frame, students can see the progression as they add one more dot for each number from 6 to 10. The full ten frame, with all squares filled, clearly represents the number 10. Encourage students to practice with physical ten frames and to use everyday objects to create groups of 6 to 10 items, reinforcing their understanding of these numbers.

Let’s Practice Together: Ten Frames! – I’ll show you a number – Fill the ten frame with counters – Use objects like buttons or coins – Counters represent numbers – Let’s start with number 4! – Place 4 counters on the ten frame | This slide is an interactive class activity designed to help Pre-K students understand the concept of representing numbers using ten frames. Begin by showing the students the number 4 and then guide them to fill the ten frame with physical counters, such as buttons or coins, to represent the number. This hands-on activity will help them visualize the quantity and aid in developing their counting skills. For the teacher: Prepare ten frames and counters for each student. Demonstrate the activity with the number 4, and then allow the students to try with different numbers up to 10. Encourage them to count aloud as they place each counter. Have additional activities ready for early finishers, such as drawing their own ten frames or pairing up to quiz each other.

Class Activity: Ten Frame Fun – Your turn with ten frames – Each gets a ten frame & counters – Fill ten frames with counters Place counters to match the number – Show the number I say | This activity is designed to help Pre-K students visualize and understand numbers up to 10 using ten frames. Distribute a ten frame and a set of counters to each student. Call out a number between 1 and 10, and have the students place the corresponding number of counters on their ten frames. This hands-on activity will aid in recognizing number patterns and improve counting skills. Possible variations for different students could include: using different colored counters, calling out numbers in a random order, asking students to fill in a certain number of empty spaces, or having students explain their ten frame to a partner.

Great Counting with Ten Frames! – Celebrating our ten frame counting – Ten frames make numbers clear – Visual tool to understand 0 to 10 – Practice is key to counting – The more we count, the better we get! – Keep counting at home – Try using toys or snacks to count | This slide is a conclusion to reinforce the learning and celebrate the students’ efforts in using ten frames to count up to 10. Ten frames are a visual representation that helps children easily recognize numbers without counting each dot one by one. Emphasize the importance of practice in mastering counting skills and encourage students to continue practicing at home using everyday items. This could involve using toys, snacks, or drawing their own ten frames. The goal is to build confidence and fluency in recognizing and counting numbers up to 10.
