Welcome to Numbers: Counting with Ten Frames – Greet our little mathematicians – Today’s lesson: counting with ten frames – Understanding ten frames – A ten frame is a 2×5 rectangle grid – Let’s count up to 9! – We’ll fill the ten frame with up to 9 objects | Begin the class with a warm welcome, engaging the children’s attention and curiosity. Introduce the concept of ten frames, which are tools used to help visualize numbers and counting. Explain that a ten frame is a rectangle divided into 10 equal squares where we can place objects or marks to count up to 9. Use real-life objects or illustrations to show how to fill the ten frame, ensuring to count aloud with the students. Encourage the children to describe what a ten frame looks like and to participate in filling one up together. This activity will help them understand the concept of counting and the relationship between numbers and quantities.
Understanding Ten Frames – What is a ten frame? – A grid with 10 equal squares to fill with counters – Ten frames aid counting – Helps us count to 10 using counters – Ten frames assist addition & subtraction – Makes adding and taking away simple – Exploring an empty ten frame – Let’s examine a ten frame with no counters | Introduce the concept of a ten frame as a learning tool that helps children visualize numbers up to 10. Explain that it is a rectangle divided into 10 equal sections where we can place objects or counters. This visual aid is crucial for developing number sense in young learners. It simplifies the process of counting, adding, and subtracting by providing a structured space for these activities. Show an empty ten frame to the class and discuss how it looks. Encourage the children to imagine placing items in the squares and ask them to visualize counting up to 9 using the ten frame.
Counting with Ten Frames – Ten frames help us count – One counter per square – Start with the first square – Place a counter in square one – Count up to 9 together – Practice counting one by one | This slide introduces the concept of using ten frames to count up to 9, which is a foundational math skill for Pre-K students. 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 explaining that each square in the ten frame represents one unit. Demonstrate placing one counter in the first square and invite the students to do the same. Then, continue adding counters one by one, encouraging the students to count aloud with each addition. This visual and interactive approach helps young learners grasp the concept of counting and number sense. For the activity, provide each student with a ten frame and counters. They can practice placing the counters in the frame and counting up to 9. Monitor their progress and ensure they understand that only one counter goes in each square.
Counting Up to 3 on Ten Frames – Start with one counter on the frame – Now add two more counters – Count all the counters together – One, two, and one more makes three – We have three counters in total | This slide is aimed at helping Pre-K students understand the concept of counting using ten frames. Start with a single counter on the ten frame to represent the number one. Then, add two more counters to the frame while the students watch. Ask the students to count all the counters on the ten frame aloud together. Reinforce the concept that adding two more to one gives us three. Use physical counters if possible to make the activity interactive and engaging. Encourage the students to use their fingers to count along. This hands-on experience helps solidify their understanding of basic addition within the number range up to three.
Counting Up to 5 on Ten Frames – Add two more counters – Count all the counters – Let’s count together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – Observe five counters – Look, our ten frame has 5 filled – Understand counting to 5 – Five is the number after four | This slide is aimed at helping Pre-K students understand the concept of counting up to 5 using ten frames. Start by placing two counters on the ten frame and then ask the students to count all the counters together. This interactive approach helps them visualize the number 5 and reinforces their counting skills. Ensure that each student can see the ten frame and count along with you. After reaching five counters, emphasize that five is one more than four and is the next number in the counting sequence. Encourage students to practice counting with their fingers or other objects to solidify their understanding of the number 5.
Counting Up to 9 with Ten Frames – Adding four more counters – Count each counter out loud – One, two, three… up to nine – Observe a filled ten frame – Notice how the frame looks almost full – We have nine counters! – Nine is just one less than ten! | This slide is designed to help Pre-K students practice counting to nine using a ten frame. Start by showing a ten frame with five counters already in place. Ask the students what happens if we add four more counters. Place the counters on the ten frame one by one, encouraging the students to count along out loud. Highlight the visual aspect of the nearly full ten frame, which helps students understand the concept of ‘nine’ as a quantity. End by reinforcing that nine counters fill most of the ten frame, with just one empty spot left. For the activity, provide each student with a ten frame and counters to practice on their own, and ask them to fill in the frame to show different numbers up to nine.
Ten Frame Counting Practice – Let’s practice with ten frames – Observe the ten frames I show – Look at the dots in the frames carefully – Count the counters aloud – Say the number of dots out loud with me – Are you ready to count together? | This slide is designed to engage Pre-K students in a hands-on counting activity using ten frames. Display different ten frames one at a time to the class, ensuring that the number of counters does not exceed nine. Encourage the students to count the counters in each frame aloud. This activity helps to reinforce their understanding of numbers and counting up to 9. It also aids in developing their ability to recognize quantities without counting individually (subitizing). For students who may struggle, provide additional guidance by pointing to each counter as you count together. Consider using physical ten frames and counters for a more interactive experience, allowing students to touch and move the counters as they count.
Class Activity: Fill the Ten Frame – Play ‘Fill the Ten Frame’ game – Each student gets a ten frame – Use counters to show numbers – Counters represent numbers; place them in the ten frame – Fill frames up to number 9 – Don’t go over 9; stop one before a full ten frame | This activity is designed to help Pre-K students understand the concept of counting and visualizing numbers using a ten frame. Each student will receive a ten frame, which is a two-by-five rectangular frame, and a set of counters, which could be small objects like beans or buttons. The task for the students is to place the counters in the ten frame to represent numbers up to 9. This will help them to visually grasp the concept of quantity and prepare them for understanding the base-ten number system. For the teacher: Prepare ten frames and counters before the class. Demonstrate how to fill the ten frame with counters for the number 1, then 2, and so on, up to 9. Monitor the students as they work, and offer guidance if they struggle. Possible variations of the activity could include using different colored counters for odd and even numbers, or having students work in pairs to fill out the ten frame together.
Celebrating Counting Success! – Congrats on counting with ten frames! – Ten frames improve number comprehension – Visual aid for organizing and understanding numbers – Applaud yourselves for counting to 9! – Celebrate your hard work and practice! | This slide is meant to congratulate the students on their achievement in learning to count up to 9 using ten frames. Ten frames are an important visual tool that helps young learners to easily understand and organize numbers. It’s crucial to celebrate this milestone to encourage a positive attitude towards learning math. As a teacher, you can lead the class in a big round of applause, making the students feel proud of their progress. You can also use this opportunity to recap the lesson, emphasizing how ten frames help in visualizing numbers and making counting more intuitive.
