Welcome to Numbers: Counting with Ten Frames – Greetings, little mathematicians! – Learn to count using ten frames – Ten frames help us see numbers visually – Practice counting up to 7 – Find the number of dots in a ten frame – Counting together as a class – We’ll count as a group from 1 to 7 | This slide is designed to introduce Kindergarten students to the concept of counting using ten frames, which are tools that help visualize numbers and understand the basics of counting. Start by greeting the students warmly to create an engaging learning environment. Explain that ten frames are like picture frames that can hold up to 10 dots. They will be using these frames to count up to 7. Encourage the students to participate by asking if anyone can count to 7 and then count together as a class. This interactive approach helps to build their confidence in counting and understanding numbers. The slide sets the stage for a hands-on activity where students will practice placing dots on ten frames and counting them aloud.

Learning to Count with Ten Frames – What is a ten frame? – A ten frame helps us count up to 10. – Ten frame has 10 spaces – Fill spaces to count – We add counters to spaces for numbers 1 to 7. – Practice counting to 7 – Let’s put counters in the frame together! | Introduce the ten frame as a simple, yet powerful visual tool to help kindergarteners understand the concept of counting and numbers. Explain that a ten frame is a rectangle divided into 10 equal sections where we can place objects or marks to represent numbers. Emphasize that we only fill up to 7 spaces for this activity. Encourage students to practice by placing items such as counters, stickers, or drawings in each space of the ten frame to visually represent numbers up to 7. This hands-on activity will help them grasp the idea of quantity and number sequence. Prepare to demonstrate how to fill the ten frame and then let the students try it themselves with guidance.

Counting to 3 on Ten Frames – Starting with counting to 3 – Place counters on the ten frame – First one counter, then two, then three – Observe how counters fill up – Notice the pattern on the ten frame – Practice with different numbers – Try with 1, then 2, and up to 3 | This slide introduces the concept of using ten frames to count to 3, which is a foundational skill in understanding numbers and counting for Kindergarten students. Start by explaining what a ten frame is and how it can be used as a visual aid for counting. Demonstrate placing one counter in the ten frame, followed by a second and a third, and ask the students to observe how the frame begins to fill up. Encourage the children to practice with physical counters and ten frames if available, or use drawn representations on the board. The goal is for students to recognize the pattern of the counters and associate the visual with the number it represents. This activity will help them understand the concept of quantity and prepare them for counting higher numbers.

Counting to 5 on Ten Frames – Let’s count to 5 together – We’ll use a ten frame to learn counting – Add counters to the ten frame – Place a counter in each box as we count – Count each counter: 1 to 5 – Say the numbers out loud: one, two, three, four, five | This slide is designed to introduce Kindergarten students to the concept of counting using a ten frame, which is a tool that helps visualize numbers up to 10. Start by explaining what a ten frame is and how it is used. Then, guide the students through the process of counting to 5 by placing counters in the ten frame one by one. Encourage them to count aloud with you. This activity helps students understand the concept of quantity and the sequential order of numbers. Make sure to praise their effort as they count along and correct gently if they make a mistake. The goal is to make counting a fun and interactive experience.

Counting to 7 on Ten Frames – Start with an empty ten frame – Place 2 counters to begin – We’re adding to our ten frame – Count out loud: 1 to 7 – Each counter represents a number – Observe the filled ten frame – See how many spots are filled? | This slide is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of counting using ten frames. Start with an empty ten frame and guide the students to place two counters on it. Then, count together from 1 to 7, placing a counter on the ten frame for each number. This visual representation helps students grasp the concept of quantity and counting. Encourage the students to count out loud and to observe the number of filled spots on the ten frame. This activity can be followed by asking students to fill their own ten frames up to 7, reinforcing the counting concept.

Counting with Ten Frames – Observing counters on ten frames – Look at the frames, how many filled spots? – Counting together on ten frames – Let’s count the filled spots out loud together – Recognizing the importance of empty spaces – Empty spots help us see how many to make 10 | This slide is designed to help Kindergarten students practice counting using ten frames, which are tools that visually represent numbers up to ten. Show students how to count the filled spaces on the ten frame and explain that each frame can hold up to ten counters. Emphasize that the empty spaces are important because they show how many more counters are needed to reach ten. Encourage students to count aloud as a group to reinforce number recognition and counting skills. This activity will help students understand the concept of ‘completing the ten’ and the value of empty spaces in ten frames as placeholders.

Let’s Practice Counting with Ten Frames! – Your turn to fill ten frames – Use stickers or blocks as counters – Show the number 7 on the ten frame – Place 7 stickers/blocks in the ten frame – Have fun while learning to count! | This slide is an interactive activity for students to practice counting to 7 using ten frames. Provide each student with a ten frame and a set of small objects like stickers or blocks. Guide them to place exactly 7 items in the ten frame, reinforcing the concept of counting and number recognition. As they work, walk around the classroom to offer help and ensure understanding. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored objects for counting, having students exchange ten frames to compare with peers, or challenging them to represent the number 7 in more than one way using the ten frame. The goal is to make the learning experience engaging and hands-on.

Ten Frame Fun: Match-up Activity! – Match counters to numbers on ten frames – Count up to 7 with counters – Use physical counters or drawings to represent numbers 1 to 7 – Pair up for counting practice – Work in pairs to encourage collaboration – Help each other in matching – Assist your partner if they need help counting | This slide introduces a hands-on class activity where students will use ten frames to match the correct number of counters to the numbers shown, focusing on counting up to 7. Provide each pair of students with a ten frame and a set of counters. Encourage them to work together to place the right number of counters on the ten frame. This activity fosters cooperative learning and helps students visualize the concept of counting and number representation. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored counters for odd and even numbers, having a ‘counting race’ to see which pair can match the numbers correctly first, or asking students to create their own ten frames with craft materials.

Review and Goodbye: Ten Frame Experts! – Celebrating our ten frame counting – Show a ten frame with 7 counters – Can you fill the ten frame to show 7? – Confirming our ten frame expertise – Looking forward to our next meeting | This slide is meant to wrap up the session on counting with ten frames up to 7. Start by praising the students for their hard work and progress. Encourage a volunteer to demonstrate their understanding by showing a ten frame with 7 counters. Reinforce the concept that they are now ‘ten frame experts’, which will boost their confidence in their counting skills. End the lesson on a positive note, expressing excitement for the next class. For the next session, consider preparing different activities such as using physical counters or drawing ten frames to continue practicing counting and number recognition.
