Frequently asked questions
- What is a ten-frame?
- A ten-frame is a 2×5 grid used to build number sense to 10. Counters fill the top row first, then the bottom, so children can see numbers as "5 and some more" and how far a number is from 10.
- How do I use ten-frames?
- Print blank ten-frames and have children place or draw counters to show a number, or print filled ten-frames and have them write how many they see. Double ten-frames extend the idea to teen numbers 11–20.
- Are these ten-frames free to print?
- Yes. Choose blank or filled, single or double, and how many per page, then print free — no account needed.
