Ten Frames are helpful in promoting conceptual subitizing and they facilitate the advancement to more sophisticated addition and subtraction. The familiar spatial patterns of a ten frame prompt conceptual subitizing, develop understanding of units, highlight the structure of 5’s and 10’s, and give opportunity to compose and decompose numbers. Children can use ten frames to recognize a number (ex. 4 dots), see those 4 dots as a unit (ex. 4(1)), and consider how this relates to the units of 5 and 10 (and thus recognize 4(1) as a unit and also as a part of a composite (ex. 4 as part of the whole unit of 10). The Number Lab’s Ten Frame is constructed so that it is not in conflict with models children will see when they encounter fractions — this is extremely important.
Our Ten Frame Cards are a set of 30 images and depict all possible configurations of 10 dots within a ten frame. Included in the PDF is a page of Directions and a page of Background Information.
