Welcome to Numbers: Counting with Ten Frames – Greet our little mathematicians – Introduction to ten frames – Ten frames help us see numbers visually – Counting to 10 together – Practice counting with the class – Understanding numbers up to 30 – Using multiple ten frames to count higher | This slide is designed to introduce Kindergarten students to the concept of ten frames as a visual tool for learning to count. Start by greeting the students warmly and encouraging their interest in math. Explain that ten frames are a way to organize objects into groups of ten for easier counting. Engage the class by asking them to count to 10 as a group, reinforcing their existing counting skills. Then, introduce the idea that we can use more than one ten frame to count beyond 10, up to 30. This will set the foundation for understanding larger numbers and prepare them for the activities to follow, where they will practice using ten frames with hands-on materials.

Understanding Ten Frames – Ten frames help us count – Two rows of five boxes – Imagine 5 apples on top row, 5 on bottom – Fill boxes to represent numbers – Each box equals one; fill to count up to 10 – Practice counting with ten frames – Let’s fill in the ten frames together up to 30 | Introduce the concept of a ten frame as a visual tool to help kindergarteners understand counting and number patterns. Explain that a ten frame has two rows, each with five boxes, making it easier to visualize numbers up to 10. Demonstrate how to fill the boxes with objects or drawings to represent numbers. For numbers beyond 10, show how to use multiple ten frames to count up to 30. Engage the students with hands-on practice by filling in ten frames with counters or drawing dots in each box. This will help them grasp the concept of counting in groups of five and ten, which is foundational for developing number sense.

Counting to 10 on Ten Frames – Fill ten frames to count to 10 – Ten frames help visualize numbers 1-10 – Place one counter per box – Ensures accurate one-to-one correspondence – Observe as boxes fill while counting – Visual counting aids understanding of numbers | This slide introduces the concept of using ten frames to count to 10, a foundational math skill for Kindergarten students. Ten frames are a visual tool that helps children understand the concept of counting, number sense, and the base-ten system. As you demonstrate, place one counter in each box of the ten frame and count aloud from 1 to 10. Make sure each child has a ten frame and counters to participate. Encourage the students to count along with you. This hands-on activity will help them to visually connect the number to the quantity it represents and build their counting skills. After filling the ten frame, discuss how many counters are in the frame and how many empty boxes are left, if any.

Counting Beyond 10 with Ten Frames – Starting a new ten frame after 10 – Counting past 10 means more frames – Practice counting to 20 using frames – After filling one ten frame, we begin another for 11, 12, and so on. – Understanding numbers up to 30 – Visualize 3 ten frames to count to 30, each frame representing a set of 10. | This slide introduces the concept of counting beyond 10 using ten frames, a foundational skill in understanding place value and the base-ten number system. After children are comfortable with one ten frame, they learn that reaching 10 means it’s time to start a new frame. By practicing with two ten frames, they can count to 20, and with three, they can reach 30. During the class activity, provide physical or visual ten frames for the students to interact with. Encourage them to fill the frames with counters or draw dots as they count. This tactile experience reinforces their understanding of grouping in tens and helps them visualize the numbers beyond 10.

Counting to 30 with Ten Frames – Understanding ten frames – Ten frames are tools to help us count. – Counting with ten frames – We use three ten frames to count to 30. – Adding counters one by one – Place a counter in each box, one at a time. – Interactive counting activity – Let’s count together as we add each counter. | This slide introduces the concept of using ten frames as a visual aid to help Kindergarten students count to 30. Begin by explaining what a ten frame is and how it can be used to count. Show them that by using three ten frames, they can count all the way up to 30. As you demonstrate adding one counter at a time to the ten frames, encourage the students to count aloud with you. This interactive activity helps solidify their understanding of counting and the use of ten frames. Make sure to engage with the students by asking them to predict the number of counters before they are placed and to verify the count after all counters are placed.

Let’s Practice Together: Counting with Ten Frames – Each student receives a ten frame – Distribute counters to students – Fill up the ten frames together – Place a counter in each box, one by one – Count the counters as a group – Practice counting up to 30 aloud | This slide is for a hands-on class activity where students will practice counting using ten frames. Provide each student with a ten frame and a set of counters. Guide them through the process of placing counters in the ten frame, ensuring they understand one counter represents one unit. As they place each counter, encourage them to count aloud together, reinforcing their understanding of numbers up to 30. This activity will help solidify their counting skills and their ability to visualize numbers within the ten frame. Prepare to assist students who may struggle and offer praise as they successfully count. Have several variations of the activity ready for students who may finish early or need additional practice.

Fun with Ten Frames – Games make counting exciting – Roll a dice and add counters – If you roll a 4, add 4 counters – Fill ten frames to reach 30 – Each frame holds 10 counters – First to 30 counters wins! – Celebrate who fills their frames first | This slide introduces a fun and interactive game to help Kindergarten students practice counting using ten frames. The game involves rolling a dice, which determines the number of counters a student can add to their ten frame. The goal is to fill up the ten frames until they reach a total of 30 counters. This activity not only reinforces the concept of counting but also introduces basic addition and the concept of ten as a building block for number sense. For the teacher: Prepare dice and counters for each student. Demonstrate the game with an example, and ensure that each student understands how to use the ten frames. Monitor the students as they play to ensure they are counting correctly. Offer assistance as needed and celebrate each child’s progress.

Class Activity: Ten Frame Tag – Let’s play Ten Frame Tag! – Wear a vest with a ten frame – Add a counter when tagged – Each tag means add one more – First to 30 counters wins! | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students understand counting and ten frames in a fun and interactive way. Each student will wear a vest that has a ten frame on it. As they play tag, whenever a student is tagged, they will add a counter to their ten frame. The goal is to be the first to reach 30 counters. For the teacher: Prepare vests with ten frames and have enough counters on hand. Ensure safety during the game and help students count as they add counters. Possible variations include using different colored counters for different values or having students work in teams to reach 30.

Review and Farewell: Ten Frames Fun! – Recap: Counting with ten frames – Demonstrate counting to 30 – Can a volunteer show us counting to 30 using ten frames? – Celebrating our counting skills – Praise for today’s excellent work – Looking forward to next time | This slide is meant to wrap up the session by reviewing what the students have learned about using ten frames to count up to 30. Encourage the children to reflect on the lesson and invite a volunteer to demonstrate their understanding by counting to 30 with ten frames. Offer praise and positive reinforcement to all students for their efforts and participation in today’s class. End the lesson on a high note, expressing excitement for the next class to maintain their interest and enthusiasm for learning math.
