Welcome to Counting with Ten Frames! – Learn to count using ten frames – What is counting? – Counting is when we say numbers in order – Counting tells us ‘how many’ – Like figuring out how many apples are in a basket – Practice counting up to 20 | This slide introduces the concept of counting using ten frames, which are tools to help visualize numbers up to 20. Start by asking the class what they think counting is to engage them in the learning process. Explain that counting is like telling a story with numbers, where each number is a step in the story. Use simple examples like counting items in the classroom to illustrate the concept of ‘how many’. Then, transition to showing how ten frames can make counting more organized and fun. For the activity, provide ten frames and counters (like small toys or blocks) and let the children practice filling the frames to count up to 20. Encourage them to work in pairs and help each other. This hands-on activity will help solidify their understanding of counting and the use of ten frames.

Learning to Count with Ten Frames – Ten frames help us learn to count – It’s a counting tool with 2 rows of 5 – A ten frame has 10 boxes – 5 boxes on top and 5 on the bottom – Fill boxes to show numbers – Use counters to represent numbers – Practice counting up to 10 | Introduce the ten frame as a visual tool to help kindergarteners understand the concept of counting up to 10. Explain that a ten frame has two rows with five boxes in each, making it easier to visualize numbers. Demonstrate how to place objects or counters in the boxes to represent numbers from 1 to 10. Encourage students to practice filling in the ten frame with different numbers of objects to strengthen their counting skills. This activity lays the foundation for addition and subtraction within 10 by providing a hands-on experience with counting and number representation.

Counting to 10 on Ten Frames – Learn to count using a ten frame – Place one counter per box – Fill each box with a single counter – Count the filled boxes – How many boxes are filled? Let’s count! – Practice counting to 10 – Repeat to become a ten frame expert | This slide introduces kindergarteners to the concept of using ten frames for counting up to 10. A ten frame is a simple visual tool that helps children understand the concept of numbers and counting. It consists of two rows of five boxes, where counters are placed to represent numbers. Start by explaining the ten frame and demonstrate placing one counter in each box. Then, count the filled boxes aloud with the students, ensuring they understand that each box represents one unit. Encourage the children to participate by filling their own ten frames and counting together. This activity will help solidify their understanding of numbers up to 10 and prepare them for counting to higher numbers.

Counting Beyond 10 with Ten Frames – Counting past 10: What’s next? – Using a second ten frame – When the first ten frame is full, we start filling the next one. – Counting from 10 to 20 – We’ll add one more each time: 11, 12, 13… – Practice with examples – Let’s fill in the frames together and count as we go! | This slide introduces the concept of counting beyond 10 using ten frames, a visual tool to help Kindergarten students understand numbers and counting. Start by discussing the idea of what comes after 10 and introduce a second ten frame as a means to continue counting. Engage the students by counting aloud from 10 to 20, using the ten frames to visually represent each number. Encourage participation by having students practice with physical or drawn ten frames, filling in each slot as they count. This hands-on activity will help solidify their understanding of the sequence of numbers and the concept of ’10 and some more.’

Counting on Ten Frames: 11 to 20 – Examples of 11 to 20 on ten frames – Count filled boxes together – Let’s count the dots in each box! – First ten frame is always full – For 11-20, one ten frame is full, plus some more – Understanding numbers 11 to 20 – This helps us see numbers as groups of ten and some extra | This slide is aimed at helping Kindergarten students visualize and understand numbers 11 to 20 using ten frames. Start by showing them examples of ten frames with different numbers of filled boxes. Guide the students to count the filled boxes on each frame, emphasizing that the first ten frame is completely filled for these numbers, representing the ‘group of ten’. This concept is crucial as it lays the foundation for place value and understanding the base-ten system. Encourage the students to participate in counting and to recognize the pattern that numbers 11 to 20 follow. Use physical ten frames in class for a hands-on experience, and consider group activities where students can fill in ten frames themselves to represent different numbers within this range.

Your Turn to Count on Ten Frames! – Fill your ten frames with counters – Listen for a number from the teacher – Show the number on your ten frames – Use red and yellow counters to represent the number – Let’s begin with the number 14! – Place 10 counters in the first frame and 4 in the second | This slide is designed for a hands-on class activity where students will practice counting to 20 using ten frames. Provide each student with a set of ten frames and counters. As you call out a number, they should place the appropriate number of counters on their ten frames. Start with the number 14 to demonstrate how to fill one complete ten frame and part of the second. This activity helps students visualize numbers and understand the concept of ‘ten’ as a base. For differentiation, some students may work with numbers up to 10, while others may go up to 20. Encourage students to check their peers’ work for accuracy. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored counters for different numbers, or having students call out numbers for their classmates to represent.

Ten Frame Bingo Game – Let’s play Ten Frame Bingo! – Receive your own Bingo card – Each card has ten frames filled up to 20 – Mark ten frames you see on board – Use counters or markers on your card – Shout ‘Bingo!’ for five in a row – We’ll verify and count the frames aloud | This interactive class activity is designed to help Kindergarten students practice counting to 20 using ten frames in a fun and engaging way. Distribute the Bingo cards, ensuring each student has one and understands the rules. Display ten frames on the board one by one. Students will use markers to cover the corresponding ten frames on their cards. The first student to get five in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) should shout ‘Bingo!’. Pause the game to verify the student’s ten frames and count together as a class to reinforce number recognition and counting. Prepare to manage excitement levels and ensure all students are engaged and participating. Have small prizes or stickers for winners to celebrate their counting success.
