HOW TO USE

There are limitless ways to use these tens frames in your early primary classroom to boost your students' mathematical confidence and ability!

⭐️ Number Recognition and Counting: Students can practice one-to-one counting by filling the squares with objects and counting forwards, providing a visual association with the number. This is also great for comparing numbers as greater than or less than.

⭐️ Subitising: Students can practice automatic recognition of small groups of numbers within the tens frames without having to count them individually, developing number sense within 10.

⭐️ Place Value: Tens frames are a great tool for reinforcing the base ten system. Use multiple tens frames to support understanding of two-digit numbers.

⭐️ Addition & Subtraction: Tens frames can be used to visually represent addition and subtraction problems and learn a range of helpful strategies. Students can physically move objects in and out of the frames to find a total.

⭐️ Number Bonds: Great for learning tens facts, doubles facts and other helpful number bonds, students can use different colored counters to represent the relationship between two numbers and the different ways a total can be created.

⭐️ Math Games: Tens frames can be used for a huge range of fun, engaging activities! You can find some ideas here.

These colourful tens frames are a great accompaniment to a number of Pevan & Sarah's education videos, such as Count to 10, Friends of 10 and the Subitising video series. Sign up to Cub Club to access the videos, along with this resource and hundreds of other educational videos, songs and printables, made for teachers, by teachers.
