playing with ten frames

I had not heard of ten frames before and it was my first time seeing ten frames in class last night when we were to told to make our own ten frames to play with in class.


Through the activity, we have to add all the beans that was on the 3 different sheets of ten frames and there were so many ways that we can calculate the total  number of beans being used.


with using ten frames, there are many teachable lessons for the children for example: one to one correspondence, addition and subtraction.

 

  

With simple addition and subtraction skills being taught to the children, they will be able to explore with many different ways to solve the equations while having fun with ten frames.
