This activity is perfect to pair with ten frames. You can take small objects (or mini erasers!) from around the house or even draw the items in each square to support learning!
Ten frames are 5 x 2 squares that represent the number 10 visually. Ten frames help children to gain a strong sense of numbers by working hands on to compose (build) or decompose (take apart) numbers!
Take this activity further and talk about different number pairs that make 10. For example, the number pairs 8 + 2, 6 + 4, and 7 + 3 all equal ten! What other number pairs make ten?
