Welcome to Counting with Ten Frames! – Learning about numbers is fun! – Counting to 10 together – Let’s count aloud from 1 to 10 as a class – Introduction to ten frames – Ten frames help us see numbers visually – Practice with ten frames – We’ll fill in ten frames up to 10 | This slide introduces kindergarteners to the concept of counting to 10 using ten frames. Begin by engaging the students with the excitement of learning about numbers and invite them to count to 10 as a group to create a collaborative atmosphere. Introduce ten frames as a visual tool to help them understand and visualize numbers up to 10. Encourage participation by having students practice placing objects in the ten frames to represent numbers 1 through 10. This hands-on activity will help solidify their understanding of counting and number representation.

Learning with Ten Frames – What is a Ten Frame? – A tool with 10 equal squares to help us learn numbers – Ten Frames make math easy – They help us count, add, and subtract by seeing numbers visually – Filling up a Ten Frame – We can put objects in the squares to show numbers up to 10 – Practice with Ten Frames – We’ll use counters to fill the frames and see different numbers | Introduce the ten frame as a simple yet powerful visual tool to help kindergarteners understand the concept of numbers up to 10. Explain that it is a rectangle divided into 10 equal sections where we can place counters or draw dots. This visual representation helps children grasp counting, addition, and subtraction by making it more interactive and concrete. Demonstrate how to fill a ten frame with different numbers of counters, starting from 1 up to 10. Encourage the students to practice with physical ten frames and counters, filling them up to match numbers you call out. This hands-on activity will solidify their understanding of numbers and quantities.

Filling the Ten Frame – Fill ten frame one by one – Place one counter per square – Observe counter placement – See how each counter fills one square – Understand ten frame counting – Ten frames help us count to 10 easily | This slide introduces the concept of using a ten frame to count to 10, which is a foundational math skill for Kindergarten students. Start by explaining that a ten frame is a tool that helps us visualize numbers and count more easily. Demonstrate how to fill the ten frame by placing one counter in each square, making sure to go one by one. This visual and hands-on approach helps students understand the concept of one-to-one correspondence, which is crucial for counting. Encourage students to watch closely as you place the counters. After the demonstration, engage the students by asking them to fill their own ten frames with counters, ensuring they place only one counter per square. This activity will reinforce their counting skills and help them grasp the concept of numbers up to 10.

Counting with Ten Frames – A ten frame holds 10 counters – Counting counters together – Let’s count each counter in the frame aloud – Practice with various numbers – Fill the ten frame with 1 to 9 counters and count – Understanding the concept of 10 – Grasping the base-10 number system | This slide introduces the concept of ten frames, which are tools used to teach counting and number patterns up to 10. A full ten frame has 10 spaces, each of which can hold one counter. Start by showing a full ten frame and counting each counter with the class. Then, present ten frames with different numbers of counters, asking the students to count along. This activity helps students visualize numbers and understand the base-10 system. It’s also a foundation for future math skills like addition and subtraction. For the activity, provide various ten frames to the students and let them practice counting with physical counters or drawings. Encourage them to explain their counting process to develop their verbal math skills.

Numbers 1 to 5 on Ten Frames – Displaying numbers 1 to 5 – A ten frame for each number with dots – Each number adds one counter – Number 2 has one more dot than number 1 – Count counters on ten frames – Point and count the dots aloud – Visualizing number growth | This slide introduces students to the concept of ten frames and how they can be used to visualize numbers 1 through 5. Each ten frame will have a corresponding number of counters (or dots) to represent the numbers 1 to 5. Emphasize that as the numbers increase, we add one more counter to the ten frame. This visual representation helps students understand the concept of counting and number progression. During the presentation, engage the students by having them count along with you as you point to each counter on the frames. This interactive approach will help solidify their understanding of numbers and counting.

Numbers 6 to 10 on Ten Frames – Exploring numbers 6 to 10 – See how ten frames represent numbers beyond 5 – Adding counters to ten frames – We place one counter at a time to fill the spots – Counting together from 6 to 10 – Practice counting aloud as each counter is added – Understanding how ten frames fill up – Notice the pattern as we approach 10 | This slide is aimed at helping Kindergarten students visualize and understand numbers 6 to 10 using ten frames. Begin by showing a ten frame and demonstrate how to add counters (dots, stickers, etc.) one by one, starting with number 6. As you place each counter, encourage the students to count along with you. This interactive counting helps reinforce their understanding of number sequencing and the concept of ten frames as a tool for visualizing numbers. Emphasize the pattern that emerges as the frame fills up, and how the full ten frame represents the number 10. The activity can be made more engaging by using colorful counters and by allowing students to participate in placing the counters on the ten frames.

Let’s Practice Together with Ten Frames! – Each student gets a ten frame – Use counters to show numbers – Show me number 4 on the frame – Place 4 counters on the ten frame – Can you show number 7 as well? – Now place 7 counters on it | This slide is for a hands-on class activity where students will practice using ten frames to represent numbers up to 10. Distribute a ten frame and a set of counters to each student. Guide them through the process of placing the correct number of counters on the ten frame to represent the numbers 4 and 7. Encourage them to count out loud as they place each counter. This activity helps to reinforce their understanding of numbers and quantity. For students who finish early, challenge them to show other numbers or to explain how they knew where to place the counters. Be prepared with additional activities for fast learners, such as asking them to fill in the ten frame to make 10 with a different number of counters, or to take away counters to show numbers less than 4 or 7.

Class Activity: Ten Frame Fun – Let’s play with ten frames! – Listen for a number I call out – Fill your ten frame to match – Use counters to represent the number on your frame – Get ready for number fun! | This interactive activity is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of counting and visualizing numbers using ten frames. The teacher will call out a number from 1 to 10, and the students will place objects or counters on their ten frame mats to represent that number. This hands-on experience reinforces number recognition, counting skills, and the idea that numbers can be composed in different ways. Prepare different scenarios for each student, such as calling out numbers in sequence, skipping numbers, or even asking them to fill in a certain number of spaces to reach ten. This will cater to different learning paces and keep the activity engaging. Ensure that each student has a ten frame and a set of counters before beginning the activity.
