Help children see ten as a whole and recognise how smaller quantities fit inside it. These soft EVA ten-frames have two rows of five spaces for practical counting, comparison and calculation.
What you get
- Pack of 10 ten-frames.
- Two-by-five layout in durable EVA material.
- Compatible Number Board pegs and Connect a Cubes are sold separately.
Classroom ideas to try
- Make ten: place seven pegs on a frame. Ask how many spaces are empty, then complete the frame to show seven and three make ten.
- See five and a bit: fill the top row and add three below. Ask children to explain how they know there are eight without counting from one.
- Bridge through ten: build eight, add five pegs using a second frame, and discuss moving two first to complete ten, leaving three.
Invite children to explain what they notice, compare different strategies and choose equipment that suits their learning.
