Welcome to Numbers: Counting with Ten Frames – Greet our little mathematicians – Today’s focus: Ten frames up to 7 – Ten frames help us understand numbers – Practice counting to 7 – Let’s count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7! – Interactive ten frame activity – Use objects or drawings in ten frames | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of counting using ten frames, with a focus on numbers up to 7. Start the lesson with a warm greeting to engage the students and create a friendly atmosphere. Explain that ten frames are tools that help us visualize numbers and counting. Encourage the children to count aloud from 1 to 7 to practice their counting skills. Finally, prepare an interactive activity where students can fill in ten frames with objects or drawings to represent numbers up to 7. This hands-on approach will help solidify their understanding of counting and the use of ten frames.

Learning to Count with Ten Frames – What is a Ten Frame? – A ten frame is a rectangle divided into 10 equal sections to help us learn counting. – Ten Frame Structure – It has 2 rows of 5 boxes, making it easy to see numbers visually. – Counting Using Ten Frames – We fill the boxes from left to right to represent numbers. – Practice Counting to 7 – Let’s fill the ten frame with up to 7 objects! | Introduce the concept of a ten frame as a visual tool to help young learners understand the basics of counting. Explain the structure of the ten frame, emphasizing its two rows and five boxes per row layout. Demonstrate how to use the ten frame by placing items or marks in the boxes, starting from the top left and moving to the right, then down to the next row. Engage the students in a hands-on activity where they practice counting to 7 using physical ten frames and objects like counters or drawings. This will help them grasp the concept of quantity and number representation.

Counting to 3 on Ten Frames – Begin with counting to 3 – Place one counter per box – Each box gets one, like a treasure chest! – Observe 3 filled boxes – Look, three boxes have treasures! – Understand that’s 3! | This slide introduces young learners to the concept of counting using ten frames, specifically focusing on the number 3. Start by explaining that a ten frame is a tool that helps us count and see numbers visually. Demonstrate placing one counter in each box on the ten frame, up to three, ensuring to count aloud as you place each counter. Emphasize that the number of filled boxes corresponds to the number we are counting to. Encourage students to practice with physical ten frames and counters if available, or draw their own on paper. Reinforce the concept by having them fill in three boxes and verify by recounting. This activity lays the foundation for understanding numbers and counting in a structured manner.

Counting to 5 on Ten Frames – Let’s count to 5 together – Fill one row on the ten frame – A ten frame has two rows of 5 boxes – Each box gets one counter – Place one counter in each box, no skipping – Now we have 5 counters in a row! – Count each counter aloud as you place it | This slide introduces the concept of counting to 5 using ten frames, which are tools that help children visualize numbers and understand the basics of counting. Start by explaining what a ten frame is and show a visual example if possible. Guide the children to fill one row of the ten frame with counters, placing one counter in each box. Emphasize the one-to-one correspondence between counters and boxes to reinforce counting skills. As they place each counter, encourage them to count aloud. This activity helps children grasp the concept of quantity and prepares them for addition and subtraction within 10. For the next class, consider bringing physical ten frames and counters to provide hands-on experience.

Counting to 7 on Ten Frames – Let’s count up to 7 together! – Start with a full row of 5 on the ten frame – A ten frame has two rows, each with 5 spaces – Then add 2 more to the next row – We fill the first row completely, then add 2 in the second row – Now, let’s count all together: 1-2-3-4-5…6-7! – Counting out loud helps us learn the number sequence | This slide introduces Pre-K students to counting within a ten frame, focusing on the numbers up to 7. Start by explaining what a ten frame is and its layout. Then, demonstrate how to fill the ten frame with counters or drawings, filling the first row completely to represent the number 5. Next, add two more counters to the second row to reach the number 7. Encourage the students to count along with you, reinforcing the concept of sequential order and number recognition. Use clear, simple language and consider using physical ten frames and counters to make the activity interactive. The goal is to help students visualize the counting process and understand the concept of adding more to a base number.

Let’s Practice Counting with Ten Frames! – Try counting with ten frames – Count numbers up to 7 – One full row equals 5 – A ten frame has two rows of 5. Fill one row for 5. – Add more to reach 7 – If you have 5, add 2 more to make 7. | This slide is an interactive activity for students to practice counting using ten frames. A ten frame is a two-by-five rectangular frame into which counters are placed to illustrate numbers less than or equal to ten. Begin by demonstrating how to fill the ten frame up to the number 5, which is one complete row. Then, show them how to continue adding one counter at a time to count numbers 6 and 7. Encourage the students to use physical ten frames and counters if available, or draw their own on paper. Provide guidance and ensure they understand that once the first row is full (5), they start filling the second row to count up to 7. Possible activities include using different colored counters for different numbers, having students fill in ten frames on a worksheet, or using real objects like blocks or stickers to represent the counters.

Class Activity: Ten Frame Fun – Receive your ten frame and counters – Fill frames to show numbers 1-7 – Place a counter in each box to represent numbers – Count with friends – Practice counting aloud together – Help each other – If a friend is stuck, show them how to count | This activity is designed to be interactive and collaborative, allowing students to use physical ten frames and counters to visualize and understand the concept of counting up to 7. Distribute ten frames and a set of counters to each student. Guide them to place the counters in the ten frames, starting with one counter and adding one more each time to fill the frames up to 7. Encourage students to work in small groups so they can assist each other and practice counting aloud. This hands-on experience reinforces number recognition, counting skills, and the concept of addition. As a teacher, circulate the room to ensure each child is engaged and understanding the activity. Offer praise and gentle corrections as needed.

Review and Goodbye – Great job with ten frames! – Show me 7 on your ten frames – Use your ten frames to make 7 dots – You’re amazing counters! – See you next class! | This slide is meant to conclude the lesson on counting with ten frames up to 7. Start by praising the students for their effort and participation. Then, engage them in a quick interactive activity by asking them to show 7 on their ten frames, which will help reinforce their understanding. Offer positive reinforcement to boost their confidence in counting. End the class on a high note, letting them know they did a great job and that you look forward to seeing them in the next class. Prepare to assist any students who may need help with their ten frames or understanding the concept of the number 7.
