Questions about the Ten Frames poster

What’s on the Ten Frames poster?

4 numbered steps. A ten frame holds exactly ten. Fill the top row first, always left to right. FILL THE TOP ROW — Five spaces. A full top row always means five.; START THE SECOND ROW — Six is a full row plus one. Seven is a full row plus two.; SPOT IT WITHOUT COUNTING — After a week, they will see 8 as 'full row and three' inst…; ASK WHAT IS MISSING — "Seven is here. How many empty spaces?" That is 7 + 3 = 10.. Number bonds to ten come from this frame. It is the most useful picture in early maths.

Who is the Ten Frames poster for?

Ten Frames is filed under Kindergarten (ages 5–6), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting math, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.

When should you use the Ten Frames poster?

Fill it with buttons. Ask how many empty spaces are left, not how many are full. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Ten Frames belongs on the wall where that math work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
