10 Frames

For some reason 10 Frames can be a hard concept for 1st greaders to grasp.  That's why I would love to print these cards out and hang them in my classroom!  Unfortunately I don't know who created these since there was only a link to the google docs. from Pinterest.

Or to conserve a little space, this 10 frames poster idea from Kindergarten Doodles seems easy enough to recreate.

Teacher Time Savers offered this FREE numberal-word-picture set of number cards, including directions to 2 activities you could do with these cards.

Deal Out A 10 is a game that could be used as a math center.  The student draws a card, writes their number on the form provided and then draws the remaining numbers needed on the 10 frame.  The child then has to come up with the correct number sentence.  This idea is from Math Coach's Corner.

I love this idea from First Grader At Last of using a cut up (polka dot) place mat (from Walmart) to demonstrate 10 frames.  Think of the games and activities you could come up with!  Unfortunely when I was at Wally-World over the weekend I didn't see any. :(

If you're a Kindergarten/Preschool teacher I think these playdough number mats would be great for introducing number concepts.  They are FREE on TpT thanks to Kindergarten Works.
