What are Ten Frames?

A ten frame is a visual tool consisting of a grid with 10 equally sized boxes. The 10 Boses are split into two groups of five, creating a 5 by 2 array. Its purpose is to help students develop number sense and understand the concept of grouping numbers into fives and tens. Each box in the ten frame can hold a counter or object and provides a tangible representation of quantity.

Ten frames are commonly used to introduce and reinforce counting, addition, and subtraction skills in young learners. By utilizing ten frames, educators and homeschool parents can facilitate visual and hands-on learning experiences that support their students’ understanding of numbers and their relationships.
