What a ten frame shows

A ten frame is two rows of five boxes. Filled from the top left, it lets a child see a number without counting every dot: a full row is five, and seven is a full row and two more.

Use real things too

Print the blank frames and put buttons, beans or coins in the boxes. Say a number and let your child build it.
