Count on ten frames – up to 40

Key notes :

🔟 Ten Frame means a box with 10 spaces (🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦).
👉 Each box can hold 10 counters (⚫🔴🟢).

🧠 Purpose:

Ten frames help us see numbers easily and count faster instead of counting one by one. 😊

🔢 Counting by Tens:

Each full ten frame = 10.

• 1 full frame = 10
• 2 full frames = 20
• 3 full frames = 30
• 4 full frames = 40 🎯

🟩 Counting Example:

🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦 = 10

• 2 ten frames full = 20
• 3 ten frames full = 30
• 4 ten frames full = 40 🌟

➕ Count On from a Ten Frame:

If one ten frame is full (10) and another has 3 counters,
👉 10 + 3 = 13 ❤️

👀 Look for Patterns:

• Each new frame adds 10 more.
• Helps students understand place value — tens and ones 💡

🎲 Fun Tip:

Use real objects like 🍎 apples, 🧱 blocks, or 🎈 balloons to fill ten frames for practice!

🧩 Practice Ideas:

• Fill 4 ten frames to make 40 🟦🟦🟦🟦
• Ask: “If 3 frames are full and 4 counters in the next frame, what’s the number?”

👉 30 + 4 = 34 💫

📘 Learning Outcome:

Students will learn to count up to 40 by using ten frames to make groups of ten and extra ones confidently! 💪
