A ten frame is a simple tool for teaching Maths. They help children to develop number sense and early Numeracy skills. Number sense develops gradually in children from birth to five. The more young children encounter numbers and how they interact with each other, the more their number sense and skill grows. This Teaching Wiki provides lots of ways you can use a ten frame to help children with addition and subtraction, as well as lots of handy resources to take your learning further.

Why Are Ten Frames So Useful?

As ten frames are so visual, they are a great tool for helping children acquire a skill called subitizing. Subitizing is when a child can instantly recognise 'how many' of something there is without having to count. Hold out your hand and place a number of coins on your palm. Can you tell how many there are without counting them out one by one? Then you're subitizing!

It works the same way with dice. When children's subitizing skills grow, they can tell what number they have rolled on the dice without counting the individual dots.

These rectangular frames are very versatile and can be adapted to a number of different classroom activities. And what's more, children can apply the knowledge gained from the ten frame system when counting to larger numbers, too.

How to Make a Ten Frame

To make a simple ten frame, you need to form a rectangle with ten equal spaces; five spaces on top and five on the bottom. This can be done by simply drawing one horizontal line on a page, and crossing it vertically with another four. You use counters or small objects to represent numbers less than or equal to ten.

Simple ways to use a ten frame:

It's easy to teach a toddler how to use a ten frame. Begin by introducing them to the blank frame. Then, add each counter or object one by one inside the spaces and count them together. Continue adding counters until you get to ten and your ten frame is full. Next, practice counting down by removing the counters.

You can get super crafty when using ten frames with young children in kindergarten and preschool. Try using some coloured tape or washi tape to form your ten frame on a flat surface. You can make it as big as you like, then use objects or toys to represent the numbers. Children can practice counting and identifying the number of objects and will be hardly aware that they are partaking in some important preschool practice!

Numeracy doesn't have to be boring, there are so many ways you can use basic Maths skills in an engaging and interactive environment. In this video, we're showing you how to turn making a ten frame into a lovely nature craft activity using simple sticks and pretty things you can find in the garden. Once you're finished showing off your number skills, you can head off to the nearest stream and have a game of poohsticks.
