Welcome to Counting with Ten Frames! – Greet our young mathematicians – Today’s goal: Count to 10 – Introducing ‘ten frames’ – Ten frames are tools to help us see numbers easily – Fun with counting on ten frames – We’ll fill in the frames together up to 10 | This slide is designed to introduce Kindergarten students to the concept of counting to 10 using ten frames. Start by creating a warm and welcoming environment, acknowledging the students as ‘little mathematicians’ to foster a sense of excitement about math. Explain that the day’s objective is to learn to count to 10, a fundamental math skill. Introduce ten frames as a visual aid that will help them understand and visualize numbers up to 10. Engage the students by involving them in interactive activities where they can practice placing objects in the ten frames to count up to 10. The activities should be hands-on to ensure that students can physically interact with the ten frames, such as using counters or drawing dots in the frames.

Learning with Ten Frames – What is a Ten Frame? – A tool with 10 equal squares to learn counting – Ten Frames help us count – We use objects or marks in the squares to count – How to fill a Ten Frame – Start from the top left, go right, then down – Practice counting with Ten Frames | Introduce the concept of a Ten Frame as a visual tool to help kindergarteners understand the basics of counting up to 10. Explain that it is a simple rectangle divided into 10 equal sections where they can place objects or draw marks. Emphasize the method of filling the Ten Frame, which is from left to right and top to bottom, to reinforce the standard way of reading and writing. During the practice, encourage students to use physical Ten Frames and manipulatives like counters or drawings to fill in the squares as they count. This hands-on activity will help solidify their understanding of numbers and counting sequences.

Counting with Ten Frames – Begin with one object in a ten frame – Count the filled squares – Observe 1 square filled – One square has an object, it represents the number 1 – Notice 9 squares empty – Empty squares show how many we can add up to 10 | This slide introduces students to the concept of ten frames and counting up to 10. Start by placing one object in the ten frame and ask the students to count the number of filled squares. Highlight that there is only one square filled and the rest are empty. This visual representation helps students understand the concept of quantity and the beginning of counting. Encourage the students to recognize the number of empty squares as potential spaces to reach ten. This exercise lays the foundation for addition and understanding the value of numbers within a ten frame. For the activity, provide each student with a ten frame and objects to count and place in the frame. Possible activities include filling the ten frames with different numbers of objects and having students count the filled and empty squares, or playing a game where students roll a die and place that number of objects in their ten frame.

Adding More to Our Ten Frame – What happens with more objects? – Count together, adding one by one – Let’s add objects and count aloud – Fill the squares one at a time – Start from the top left, move right – Practice makes perfect! | This slide is designed to help students understand the concept of addition within a ten frame. Start by asking the class what they think will happen if we add more objects to our ten frame. Then, invite them to count aloud with you as you demonstrate adding items to the ten frame one by one. Emphasize the importance of filling the squares sequentially, starting from the top left and moving to the right, which helps in understanding the base-ten system. Encourage students to practice this technique with different objects to reinforce the concept. The goal is for students to visualize the counting process and become comfortable with the ten frame as a tool for addition.

Counting to 5 with Ten Frames – Our ten frame has 5 objects – Count together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – 5 filled squares in the frame – Each object fills one square – 5 empty squares left – Empty squares show how many until 10 | This slide is designed to help Kindergarten students practice counting to 5 using a ten frame. A ten frame is a simple visual tool that helps children understand numbers and counting by grouping objects into tens. By having 5 objects in the ten frame, students can easily see the concept of 5 as a quantity. Encourage the students to count aloud together to reinforce their understanding. Highlight that there are 5 filled squares and 5 empty ones, which helps them to visually grasp the concept of 5 and also introduces the idea of ‘half’ in a very basic form. This sets the foundation for understanding the number 10 as two sets of 5.

Full Ten Frames – What happens when all squares are filled? – Counting each square to 10 – Start at 1 and count one square at a time – A full ten frame has 10 objects – Visualize 10 as a complete set – Understanding the concept of 10 – Recognize 10 as a base number in our number system | This slide aims to help students visualize the number 10 using a ten frame. A ten frame is a simple yet powerful tool for young learners to understand the concept of counting to 10. It consists of two rows of five squares, which can be filled with objects or marks to represent numbers. By filling all the squares, students can see what ’10’ looks like and understand that a full ten frame represents the number 10. Encourage the students to count aloud as each square is filled. This activity not only reinforces counting skills but also lays the groundwork for understanding base-ten, a fundamental concept in mathematics. After the activity, engage the students in a discussion about the importance of the number 10 in our number system.

Adding with Ten Frames – Ten frames aid in addition – Visualize how many to make 10 – If we have 6, how many more to 10? – Ten frames as puzzles – Find missing pieces to complete the frame – Practice filling up ten frames – Use counters to fill empty spaces | This slide introduces the concept of using ten frames to help with addition in a fun and interactive way. Ten frames are a visual tool that allows students to easily see how many more counters are needed to reach a total of 10. By presenting it as a puzzle, children can engage with the concept playfully, filling in the missing spaces to complete the ten frame. Encourage students to use physical counters or drawings to practice this concept. Activities can include: using different colored counters to add up to 10, filling in ten frames with stickers for a hands-on experience, or drawing out ten frames on paper and completing them with a marker.

Class Activity: Fill Your Own Ten Frame – Let’s fill a ten frame together! – Use stickers for each square – Each sticker represents one number – Count as you place each sticker – Say the number out loud with each sticker – Can you make a full ten frame? – A full ten frame has 10 stickers | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of counting to 10 using a ten frame. Provide each student with a ten frame and a set of stickers. Guide them to place a sticker in each square of the ten frame while counting out loud from 1 to 10. This will help them visualize the numbers and understand the quantity that each number represents. Encourage them to say the numbers out loud as they place each sticker to reinforce number recognition and counting skills. For students who finish early, challenge them to remove a certain number of stickers and count how many are left or to start from a number other than 1 and count up to 10.

Great Work with Ten Frames! – Excellent counting with ten frames – Ten frames make counting fun – Visual tool that helps understand numbers up to 10 – Practice makes perfect – The more you count, the better you get! – You’re on your way to counting stardom! – Keep counting and you’ll be a pro! | This slide is meant to congratulate the students on their hard work and progress with ten frames. Ten frames are an important visual aid in early math education, helping children to easily see numbers as groups of ten and understand the concept of counting to 10. Encourage the students to continue practicing with ten frames at home or during free time to reinforce their counting skills. As they become more comfortable with this tool, they will gain confidence in their counting abilities. Celebrate their achievements and motivate them to keep practicing and enjoying math.
