What kids do
“One ten frame is full. Count the extra dots. Write 10 + ___ = ___.”
Teacher tip
Ask kids to say each one two ways: “fourteen” and “ten and four”.
How to use it
- Ask kids to touch each item as they count, and to cross it off if they lose track.
- Do one row together with a ten frame on the board so kids see the five and the ten.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Kids who say the numbers faster than they touch the objects. Slow the pointing down.
Talk about it
- What number comes next? How do you know?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
