Welcome to Numbers: Learning with Ten Frames – Greet our little mathematicians – Ten frames help us understand numbers – Ten frames are tools that show numbers up to 10 visually – Counting to 20 together – We’ll count from 1 to 20 as a class activity – Practice with ten frames – Use ten frames to show numbers and practice counting | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of numbers and counting using ten frames. Start by greeting the students warmly to create an engaging learning environment. Explain that ten frames are a visual tool to help them understand and visualize numbers up to 10, and by extension, up to 20. Engage the class in a counting activity, encouraging them to count aloud from 1 to 20. This will help them get familiar with the sequence of numbers. Afterwards, demonstrate how to use ten frames with simple examples, and encourage the students to practice placing counters on ten frames to represent different numbers. The goal is to make them comfortable with counting and visualizing numbers in a structured way.

Learning to Count with Ten Frames – What’s a ten frame? – A ten frame helps us count and understand numbers. – Ten frame structure – It’s made of 2 rows with 5 boxes each, like two hands. – Showing numbers using ten frames – We fill the boxes to represent numbers visually. – Practice counting to 20 | Introduce the concept of a ten frame as a visual tool to help young learners understand the basics of counting and number recognition. Explain that a ten frame has two rows, similar to the two hands of a person, with five boxes in each row, which helps in visualizing numbers up to 10. Demonstrate how to use a ten frame by filling in the boxes with objects or drawings to represent numbers. Encourage students to practice filling ten frames on their own, starting with smaller numbers and gradually moving up to 20 by using two ten frames. This activity will help solidify their understanding of numbers and counting sequences.

Learning Numbers 1-10 with Ten Frames – Understanding ten frames – One dot represents one number – For example, 1 dot is 1, 2 dots are 2 – Fill boxes left to right – Start at the top left, move right, then to the bottom row – Practice with numbers 1-10 – Let’s place dots for 1, then 2, up to 10 | This slide introduces Pre-K students to the concept of ten frames and how to use them to represent numbers 1 through 10. A ten frame is a simple visual tool that helps children understand counting, addition, and subtraction. Each dot in a ten frame represents one unit. Start filling the ten frame from the top left corner, moving horizontally to the right, and then continue to the next row in the same manner. This methodical approach helps children grasp the concept of quantity and number order. During the activity, encourage students to draw their own ten frames and fill in the dots for numbers 1 to 10. This hands-on practice is crucial for their understanding of numerical concepts at this developmental stage.

Counting Together with Ten Frames – Let’s count dots on ten frames – Visualize numbers using dots – Each dot equals one number – Understand one-to-one correspondence – Practice counting from 1 to 10 – Reinforce number sequence | This slide is designed to help Pre-K students visualize numbers and understand the concept of counting using ten frames. Each dot on the ten frame represents one number, which helps in understanding one-to-one correspondence. Start by counting the dots aloud from 1 to 10, encouraging the students to join in and count with you. This activity reinforces their ability to follow the number sequence and recognize numbers visually. It’s a foundational skill in developing number sense. Make sure to engage with the students by asking them to point to the dots as they count and praise their efforts to build confidence.

Counting Beyond 10: Using Ten Frames – Two ten frames for numbers 11-20 – First ten frame represents 10 A full ten frame equals 10 dots. – Add dots to second ten frame For 11, place 1 dot in the empty frame. – Each dot is one more than 10 12 is 10 plus 2 dots, and so on up to 20. | This slide introduces students to the concept of counting numbers from 11 to 20 using two ten frames. The first ten frame is always full, representing the number 10. For numbers greater than 10, students will add dots to the second ten frame. This visual representation helps them understand that numbers 11 to 20 are made up of 10 plus additional units. Encourage students to practice with physical ten frames and dots, placing the correct number of dots for numbers 11 through 20. This hands-on activity will reinforce their understanding of the base-ten system and how two-digit numbers are formed.

Let’s Count More with Ten Frames! – Start with a full ten frame – Add dots to the second frame – Place dots one by one and count aloud – Count all the dots together – Use your fingers to keep track as we count – Recognize numbers beyond 10 – Numbers 11-20 are just 10 plus some more | This slide is aimed at helping Pre-K students understand the concept of counting beyond 10 using ten frames. Start with a ten frame that is already filled to show the base number of 10. Then, introduce a second empty ten frame and add dots to it while counting aloud with the students. Encourage them to use their fingers or counters to keep track of the count. This visual and interactive method will help them grasp the idea that numbers 11-20 are simply 10 plus additional units. Reinforce the concept by having students practice with physical ten frames and counters in class.

Your Turn: Practice with Ten Frames! – Show numbers using ten frames – Try different numbers up to 20 – Work together with classmates – Pair up and use ten frames to show the same number – Help each other learn – If your friend is stuck, show them how! | This slide is an interactive activity for students to practice using ten frames to represent numbers up to 20. Encourage the children to use physical ten frames and counters to visualize the numbers. They should work in pairs or small groups to foster a collaborative learning environment. As they work, circulate around the room to offer guidance and ensure that each student understands how to use the ten frames correctly. Possible activities include: having each pair show a different number and then compare with another group, challenging students to represent a number in more than one way using two ten frames, or playing a game where you call out a number and they have to show it as quickly as possible.

Ten Frame Fun: Show and Tell Numbers! – Understand ten frames – Listen for a number – When I say a number, like 5, find it on your ten frame. – Show the number on your frame – Use counters to represent the number on the ten frame. – Ready, set, go – fill the frames! | This class activity is designed to help Pre-K students visually understand the concept of numbers up to 20 using ten frames. Ten frames are a great tool for young learners to grasp counting, addition, and subtraction. Start by explaining what a ten frame is and how it can be used to represent numbers. Then, engage the students in a fun game where you call out numbers and they place counters on their ten frames to represent those numbers. This interactive activity not only reinforces number recognition but also helps with fine motor skills as they place and count the counters. Be prepared with different scenarios, such as filling the frames up to 10 or up to 20, and encourage students to help each other. Have a variety of counters available for students who may need assistance and be ready to provide guidance as needed.

Review Time: Ten Frames Up to 20 – Celebrate our learning today – Review numbers with ten frames – Recall numbers 1 to 20 using ten frames – Show ten frames for spoken numbers – When I say a number, you show the frame – Interactive ten frame practice – Let’s practice with different numbers! | This slide is meant to recap what the students have learned about representing numbers using ten frames. Start by praising the class for their hard work. Then, engage the students in an interactive review by asking them to show the ten frame for numbers you call out. This activity reinforces their understanding and helps them visualize the concept of numbers up to 20. Encourage participation and make it fun by perhaps turning it into a quick-paced game, where students can ‘race’ to show the correct ten frame. This will help solidify their counting skills and their ability to associate numbers with the corresponding ten frame representation.

Goodbye Numbers: Ten Frame Fun – Great job with ten frames today! – Practice ten frames at home – Use objects like toys to practice – More counting fun next class – We’ll explore new counting activities – Keep up the good work! | This slide is a positive reinforcement for the students, praising their efforts with ten frames in class. Encourage them to continue practicing at home, perhaps using toys or snacks to fill their own ten frames. Let them know that the next class will introduce more engaging counting activities to build on what they’ve learned. The goal is to keep the momentum going and to instill a love for numbers and counting. Offer some simple at-home ten frame activities in the notes for parents to facilitate learning.
