Welcome to Numbers: Counting with Ten Frames – Learning to count to 9 – Counting practice together – Who can count to 9? Let’s try it out loud! – Introduction to ten frames – Ten frames help us see numbers visually. – Using ten frames up to 9 – We’ll fill in the frames with up to 9 items. | This slide introduces the concept of counting within the range of 1 to 9, which is a foundational math skill for Kindergarten students. Begin by engaging the students with a simple question to encourage participation. Introduce ten frames as a visual tool to help them understand and visualize numbers. Demonstrate how to use a ten frame with counters, ensuring to fill in the frame sequentially to reinforce the concept of counting order. Encourage students to participate by filling in their own ten frames up to the number 9. This interactive approach helps solidify their understanding of numbers and counting.

Understanding Ten Frames – What is a Ten Frame? – A rectangle divided into 10 equal parts – Ten Frames help us count – They make counting clearer and easier – Visualizing numbers up to 9 – See how numbers look within 10 – Filling spaces with objects – Use counters to represent numbers | Introduce the concept of a ten frame as a simple tool that helps in visualizing and understanding numbers up to 9. Explain that it is a rectangle split into 10 equal sections where we can place objects or markers to count. Emphasize that ten frames are useful for recognizing numbers at a glance, which is an essential skill in early math. Demonstrate how to fill the ten frame with items like counters, stickers, or drawings to represent numbers from 1 to 9. Encourage students to practice with physical ten frames or drawings in their notebooks. The goal is for students to become comfortable with the concept of ten frames and to use them as a foundation for developing their counting skills.

Counting with Ten Frames – Up to 9 – Starting with one on a ten frame – Can you spot a single item in the frame? – Each space holds one object – Remember, only one item per space! – Filling spaces one by one – We add items in order, space by space. – Visualize quantity without counting – This shows us ‘how many’ at a glance! | This slide introduces kindergarteners to the concept of using ten frames for counting up to 9. Start by showing them a ten frame with one object in it and ask if they can identify the single object. Explain that each space in the ten frame can hold exactly one object, and we fill them sequentially. This visual tool helps children understand the concept of quantity and allows them to see ‘how many’ without needing to count each object individually. It’s a foundational skill for developing number sense. Encourage the students to practice with physical ten frames and objects to reinforce the concept.

Counting Up to 5 with Ten Frames – Fill ten frame for 2, 3, 4, 5 – Start with 2, then add more to count up – Add one object each time – Each step, place one more dot or sticker – Observe the changes in the frame – See how the frame fills up gradually – How many objects now? | This slide is designed to help Kindergarten students practice counting using ten frames. Begin by showing a ten frame and demonstrate how to count from 2 to 5 by adding one object at a time. This visual representation helps students understand the concept of incrementing numbers. Encourage the students to observe how the ten frame fills up as they count. Ask interactive questions like ‘How many objects are in the ten frame now?’ to engage them in active learning. For the activity, provide each student with a ten frame and objects like counters or stickers to fill in as they count. This hands-on experience reinforces their counting skills and number recognition.

Counting Up to 9 with Ten Frames – Fill the ten frame to 9 – Place items until we have 9 in the frame – Add one object per space – Observe changes in the frame – See how the frame looks different from 1 to 9 – Practice counting each addition – Count aloud as we add each item | This slide is designed to help Kindergarten students visualize counting up to 9 using a ten frame. Start by explaining that a ten frame is a tool that helps us count by seeing numbers as groups of items. Demonstrate how to fill the ten frame with one object at a time, ensuring there is only one object in each space. As you add each object, encourage the students to observe how the frame changes and to count aloud with you. This will help them understand the concept of addition and the visual representation of numbers. For the activity, provide different small objects for the students to place on their ten frames and practice counting. Reinforce the idea that the last number they say when counting is the total number of objects.

Counting with Ten Frames – Counting on ten frames together – Find the ten frame for number 6 – Look for 6 dots arranged on the ten frame – Identify the ten frame for number 8 – Look for 8 dots arranged on the ten frame – Practice counting up to 9 | This slide is designed for an interactive counting activity using ten frames. Start by engaging the students in counting together using different ten frames. Ask them to identify the ten frame that represents the number 6, and then proceed to the number 8. Encourage the students to count the dots aloud and use their fingers to point at the ten frames. This activity helps to reinforce their understanding of numbers and counting up to 9. Make sure to praise their efforts to build confidence. For students who struggle, provide additional guidance and repeat the exercise if necessary. The goal is to make counting fun and interactive, helping students visualize numbers with the help of ten frames.

Your Turn to Count! – Fill in the ten frames – Use objects for counting – Like blocks or buttons – Show the number 4 on ten frame – Place 4 objects in the boxes – Can you count to 4? | This slide is an interactive activity for students to practice counting using ten frames. Provide the children with small objects such as blocks, buttons, or counters. Demonstrate how to place these objects in the ten frames, one by one, to represent numbers. Specifically, ask the students to show the number 4 by placing the exact number of objects in the frame. Observe as they work, offering guidance and encouragement. This hands-on activity helps solidify their understanding of numbers and counting. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored objects for counting, or having students work in pairs to fill in the ten frames together.

Class Activity: Ten Frame Fun – Understand ten frames – Listen to the number I say – Show the number on your ten frame – Use counters to represent the number – Let’s start with number 3! – Place 3 counters on the ten frame | This activity is designed to help Kindergarten students understand the concept of ten frames and practice counting up to 9. 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 the activity by explaining what a ten frame is and how it can be used to visualize numbers. Demonstrate placing objects in the ten frame to represent the number 3. Encourage students to follow along with their own ten frames and objects. As they become comfortable with the concept, call out different numbers and have them represent these numbers on their ten frames. Possible variations of the activity could include using different objects for counters, such as small toys or stickers, and challenging students to fill the ten frame with the correct number of items as quickly as possible.

Review and Goodbye: Ten Frame Experts! – Excellent counting today! – Show the ten frame for 7 – Can you fill in 7 squares on your ten frame? – You’re now ten frame experts! – See you in our next lesson! | This slide is meant to wrap up the lesson on counting with ten frames up to the number 9. It serves as a positive reinforcement for the students’ effort and participation during the class. Encourage the children to demonstrate their understanding by showing the ten frame for the number 7, reinforcing their ability to visualize and represent numbers using ten frames. Praise their progress by calling them ‘ten frame experts,’ which will boost their confidence in their counting skills. Let them know you look forward to seeing them in the next class, leaving the lesson on a high note. Prepare a variety of ten frame activities for the next lesson to cater to different learning styles and to keep the students engaged.
