Making 10 on a Ten Frame Math Center Activity

Enhance your classroom’s math center with the Making 10 on a Ten Frame Math Center Activity! This engaging resource helps children practice their addition skills by filling ten frames to make a total of 10.

What’s Included:

• Ten Frame Cards: Each card displays a ten frame with some squares already filled. Children will need to add counting cubes or buttons to the empty squares to make the ten frame equal 10.
• Recording Page: Included for children to use two different colored pencils to draw circles in each ten frame to make 10 and then write the addition equation underneath.

How to Prepare:

1. Print and Laminate: Print the ten frame cards and the recording page, then laminate the cards for durability.
2. Cut Out: Carefully cut out all the ten frame cards.

Activity Instructions:

1. Fill the Ten Frame: Children will examine each ten frame card and determine how many more objects (counting cubes or buttons) are needed to fill the ten frame to equal 10.
2. Complete the Equation: On the recording page, children will use two different colored pencils to draw circles in each ten frame, representing the objects they added. They will then write the addition equation underneath each ten frame to show their work.

Perfect For:

• Classroom centers
• Small group activities
• Home learning environments

Additional Ideas:

• Use different types of objects, such as small erasers or beads, to add variety to the activity.
• Incorporate this activity into your daily math routines to reinforce addition skills and number sense.

Make addition fun and interactive with the Making 10 on a Ten Frame Math Center Activity. Perfect for engaging young learners and building a strong foundation in math!

Happy Teaching 🙂
