    Hello, thank you for offering this tutorial. However, I have a question… What are the advantages of having a ten-frame that looks like the ones you have provided above, verses, having a ten frame that is a straight ten boxes? So for example, five boxes on top and five boxes on the bottom as you have shown; or five boxes on the left of the ten-frame and five boxes to the right of the ten frame? Does that make sense?
    The reason I’m asking is bc I have the book entitled: Addition Facts that Stick, and in that book, the ten frame is showcased as FIVE boxes to the left of the bold line and FIVE boxes to the right of the bold line.

      Hi Georgia! Either way is fine and both help kids decompose numbers and learn how to understand numbers in groups of 5 or 10. The way I shared is more widely used and kids will recognize it more. But the way that Kate Snow shares is a good way to help kids learn numbers as they are seeing the ten frame left to right, just like reading.

    Thank so much for the ten frame activities! I work with preschoolers and school age students. It is a simple concept, but if they do not get it early on, they really struggle with math. Blessings to you for making these free.
