Here is one game from our Ten Frame Activities pack. Your learners will:
- subitize numbers to ten on a ten frame
- count objects
- develop an understanding of the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality
- use a rectangular array to count 'how many'
How to play Make It Mouse
- have a teacher set of ten frame flashcards and briefly show these to your group, giving them time to look at the number
- decide if you'll ask your students to call the number right away, or remember it in their mind (depending on their math skills)
- have your students re-create the number pattern after you've flipped the card back over - encouraging them to work from memory
- check for accuracy by flipping the card back and letting students count again to check their pattern

Ten frames are a great way to help our little mathematicians learn to count and work with numbers. They are a visual representation of numbers, and they can be used to support their emerging work in addition, subtraction, comparing numbers, equal groups and more!
