Today we'll learn how ten frames help us see addition clearly. A ten frame is like a special box that helps us understand numbers.

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Each ten frame has two rows with 5 spaces
  • We'll use counters to show different ways to make 10
  • God loves when we learn and grow in understanding
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What do you notice about the ten frame?
  • How many spaces are in each row?
3Activity: Ten Frame Treasure Hunt (12 min)
hands-on

Students will explore different ways to make 10 using counters on their ten frames

📝 Instructions:
