Lesson Plan

Let's explore how we build numbers bigger than 10. Each teen number is like building a strong foundation with ten, then adding more!

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Ten is our strong base, like a solid foundation
  • We fill one ten frame completely first
  • Then we add extra counters to show the full number
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What happens when we add more than one counter?
  • How many counters do you see in a full ten frame?
