Using Ten Frames to Count to 20

My kinders are doing very good with counting to 10, so we are moving on to counting to 20!  Those teen numbers are tricky!  I made a counting mat to use with objects like erasers, stones, gems, etc..  I differentiated the mats so that the kiddos who don't know the numbers yet can learn.

Ten Frames Counting to 20

10 Frame Fun for Math Work Station

We incorporate ten frames a lot to build number concepts.  This month we are focusing on the concept of 1 more and 1 less.  We've found a great manipulative to use when covering ten frames, and it comes from the dollar store.  Many times you can find they have ice cube trays that go along with the season/theme. They have just ten openings, which is perfect.  We either use pompoms to fill them or themed mini erasers. Changing them out monthly, helps keep the stations/activities fresh.

   Here is the worksheet I plan to use to go along with the work station. I'll use some seasonal number cards to go along with it. (I put a ten frame on the paper, in case you didn't have the trays) Click the link to get your copy.
