How do we use ten frames to add to 10?
There are many pairs of numbers that add together to make 10. Using a ten frame can help us learn our addition facts of ten! Addition facts of 10 are two numbers that can be added together to make 10. Click through the slides to learn how to use a ten frame to add to ten.
How many squares are there on a ten frame? Let’s count to find out! Click the ten frame below to see the numbers appear in the boxes as you count.
There are ten squares in a ten frame! When we use ten frames to make addition facts to 10, we pay close attention to empty spaces.
Go on to the next slide to learn how!
First, we count the dots on the ten frame. Look at the ten frame below.
How many dots are there?
2
That’s right! There are 2. How can we find the number to add to 2 to make 10? We look at the empty spaces! Count how many empty squares there on the ten frame above.
8
Did you get it right? There are 8 empty spaces on the ten frame. That means if we add 2 and 8, it makes 10! You can see that in the ten frames below. Count the dots to make sure you are right!
This is how to show addition facts up to 10 on a ten frame!
We learned that 2 + 8 is an addition fact of 10! We can also use numbers like this:
2 + 8
Let’s try another one! Click to the next slide.
Look at the ten frame below.
First, let’s count the dots. Go ahead! How many did you count? Did you count 5? That’s correct! 5 will be our first number.
We need to count the empty spaces to find what number we can add to 5 to make 10. How many empty spaces are there?
There are 5 empty spaces! That means that we can add 5 plus 5 to make 10! We can show that on our ten frames.
We can also show it with numbers.
5 + 5
We learned that 5 + 5 is an addition fact of 10!
We learned that 2 + 8 is an addition fact of 10!
Wow, there are many ways to make 10! Let’s try one more.
Here is another ten frame.
How many dots are there? That’s easy! There is 1 dot. How many empty spaces are there?
9
This means that 1 and 9 make 10! We can show that on our ten frames.
We can also show that with numbers.
1 + 9
We learned that 1 + 9 is an addition fact of 10!
There are even MORE addition facts of ten that you will find during this lesson. Try the question below to find another one!
Start with the ten frame below. What is the second ten frame we need to make 10? Choose the correct ten frame to make 10.
Correct! There are 3 empty squares on the first ten–frame. You found the ten frame with 3 dots! 7 + 3 is an addition fact of 10.
Incorrect. There are 3 empty squares on the first ten frame. This only has 1 dot. Try again!
