Learn all about why 10 Frames are AWESOME here!
Number Sense Routines
1. Quick Images
Quick Images is a number sense routine where you show students an image of a 5, 10, or 20 Frame in this case, quickly so they don’t have time to count and have to begin to subitize and go beyond counting by ones.
Using incomplete 10 frames is a visual way for students to start to make ten by filling the 10 frames mentally and counting the extras.
2. Say It, Build It
This can be done as a warm-up whole group or small group activity. Each student or pair is given a 10 Frame and counters. You say a number and have students build the number you said. You can jazz this up by using a number randomizer, picking a card, using a timer, etc. Look out for strategies students are using like starting from one, counting on to change a number, or removing extras. Don’t push students to one strategy or another, they will gravitate towards more efficient strategies
10 Frame Math Centers
3. 10 Frame Pick, Build, and Cover
In Pick, Build, and Cover your students pick a numeral or 20-frame card, create that number on their 5, 10, or 20 Frame, and cover the number they made on their mat.
4. Spin and Build
Spin and Build is similar, instead of picking, you spin a number and create the matching number on your mat. This game has an optional recording sheet so students can sneak in some number writing practice in this game!
5. Halloween Spin, Count, and Cover
It may be out of season but students love a good theme! Halloween Spin, Count, and Cover is a game that will have your students counting a lot, and they won’t even realize all the practice they are getting!
To play this game, your students will spin the spinner, count how many items are on the 10 frames, and cover the number you’ve spun with a counter. If you have themed counters this would be a fun time to add them in! You can also get it on the website store!
6. Roll a Rainbow Graph
Do your students LOVE rainbows as much as mine? If you are working on a graphing unit, but want to sneak in some number sense and counting activities while working on other skills. For this center Roll A Rainbow Graph, students roll a 5, 10, or 20 Frame dice and color in the corresponding space on their paper. The dice are color-coded so they know which color to use.
7. Go Fish 10 Frames
A twist on a classic game, these cards have fish in the 10 frames!
8. 10 Frame Mystery Word Match
Who doesn’t love a good mystery? In these no-prep worksheets, students need to match a numeral to 10 frame value, when they draw matching lines, it runs through a letter. They then unscramble the letters to find the mystery word!
Number Writing 10 Frame Centers
9. Roll and Write or Spin and Write with 10 Frames
For both versions of this center, students will either roll or spin a 5, 10, or 20 frame and write the corresponding number. This center is great for subitizing, and number writing practice! Even though students may recognize numbers up to 20, writing them can be more challenging. Both of these centers are already differentiated to fit the needs of your students or you can bring it back when students move from 5 to 10 to 20 frames!
10. Play-Doh Mats
With these play-doh mats, your students use playdoh to create each numeral and create a matching set of playdoh circles on 10 frames
