The “IN/OUT” board in my classroom is one place I found to incorporate ten-frames. I am determined to find as many ways to incorporate ten-frames in my classroom as possible! Here are a few ways I’ve used them in the past, but I would love to hear from you how you’ve used them in your classroom: Taking Attendance (or lunch count)Ī brilliant teacher-friend of mine showed me this idea. For more ideas (and how to regroup beyond two places) see Kathy Richardson’s Developing Number Concepts Book 3! She’s a genius! Reinforcing with Ten Frames Once your students become familiar with adding and subtracting one cube at a time, venture into adding and subtracting larger digits. Remember to have your students name the number of zibs and ones every time! This is where you will need to check in: “If you take one away from a zib, is it still a zib?” Help students recognize that only zibs are allowed on the left side of the board, and see if they can figure out what to do with the remaining three cubes. However, some students might break off a single cube from an existing zib and leave it there. Some will instinctively break apart a zib into four cubes and place them on the ones side. The next time you say “subtract one,” watch watch for what your students do. Students will likely be able to remove one at a time until there are no more single cubes left on the right side of the board. In your next lesson you can revisit Zibs by subtracting one each time.
