Lesson 1 · Fill a ten-frame
Find how many more counters make ten.
Name or initials: ____________ Date: ____________
Touch each counter once as you count. A ten-frame has 10 places: two rows of five.
- Count the filled places. There are 6 counters. Count them once, from left to right.
- Look for empty places. Four of the ten places are empty.
- Fill every place. Add 4 counters. Now all 10 places are filled.
- Say the number sentence. Six and four make ten: 6 + 4 = 10.
Worked example: I have 7 counters. Three places are empty. Add 3: 7 + 3 = 10. Check by counting all ten.
You have 8 counters. How many more make 10?
1. 1 · 2. 2 · 3. 3
Which pair makes 10?
1. 5 and 4 · 2. 6 and 5 · 3. 5 and 5
There are 10 counters. You remove 3. How many are left?
1. 7 · 2. 8 · 3. 6
Discuss: Draw a ten-frame. Ask a partner to put in 8 dots, then find how many dots are missing.
Lesson 2 · Build ten and some more
Show numbers from 11 to 19 as ten and extra ones.
Name or initials: ____________ Date: ____________
A full ten-frame is one group of ten. Extra counters are ones.
- Make one ten. Fill all ten places. Keep this group together.
- Count extra ones. Place 4 more counters beside the frame.
- Combine the groups. Ten and four make fourteen. Write 10 + 4 = 14.
- Read the digits. In 14, the 1 stands for one ten and the 4 stands for four ones.
Worked example: To show 17, fill a ten-frame and add 7 counters: 10 + 7 = 17. One ten and seven ones make seventeen.
One ten and 3 ones make…
1. 13 · 2. 4 · 3. 30
Which shows 18?
1. 8 tens and 1 one · 2. 1 ten and 8 ones · 3. 1 ten and 7 ones
How many extra ones go beside a full ten-frame to make 15?
1. 15 · 2. 10 · 3. 5
Discuss: Use drawings to show 12 and 16. Circle the group of ten in each drawing.
Lesson 3 · Compare two teen numbers
Use extra ones to compare numbers from 11 to 19.
Name or initials: ____________ Date: ____________
When two numbers each have one ten, compare the extra ones.
- Build the first number. Fourteen is one ten and four ones.
- Build the second number. Seventeen is one ten and seven ones.
- Compare the extra ones. Both have one ten. Seven extra ones are more than four.
- Say the comparison. Seventeen is greater than fourteen. Fourteen is less than seventeen.
Worked example: Compare 12 and 15. Both have one ten. Five ones are more than two ones, so 15 is greater than 12.
Which is greater?
1. 12 · 2. 16 · 3. They are equal
Which is less than 15?
1. 18 · 2. 17 · 3. 13
Arrange from least to greatest.
1. 11, 14, 18 · 2. 18, 14, 11 · 3. 14, 11, 18
Discuss: Make 11 and 19 using drawings. Point to the same ten in both, then explain which has more.
