The Ten Frame tool helps young learners build number sense in a fun and visual way. By filling squares with counters, students can explore numbers up to 5, 10, or 20.
How it works:
Open the tool to see the frame and counters.
Drag the red and green counters into the squares to fill the frame.
If you place a counter by mistake, drag it out of the frame.
Click Reset to start over with an empty frame.
Settings:
Open Settings to adjust the frame.
Choose the Frame size: 5, 10, or 20 squares.
Select the Counter style:
Dots
Fruit (red apples and green pears)
💡Tip: Use two different colors to show number bonds. For example, place 7 green counters and 3 red ones to make 10. This helps students clearly see how numbers can be composed and decomposed.
