Tens Frames
Tens frames provide a very clear representation of numbers up to 10. It cannot be overstated how important the sense of ‘ten-ness’ is for children and their future progress in maths. Once bonds to 10 are second-nature, the ground is laid for understanding of addition and subtraction and the mental pictures needed for all kinds of mathematical thinking.
1 Copy Me!
The teacher or a child places a selection of counters on a tens frame and shows it to the group for 5-10 seconds, then hides it.
• The group must remember the picture and repeat the pattern on their own individual boards.
• This can be made more or less difficult by using one or two colours, by how the counters are spaced and by reducing or extending the time given to look.
1 • Who managed to get an exact match? 3 + 1 = 4 6+2 = 8 2 2 See the difference
• Place 5 red counters across the top of your tens frame and two yellow counters below.
4
• Ask children to turn the red counters to match the yellow ones below.
Y Addition Across 10
• Support addition across 10 by partitioning one of the addends
E.g. 8 + 5 3 Addition to 10
• Use two-coloured counters to represent the addends in number sentences.
• What other way might this be shown on a number frame?
Number
• The red counters clearly show the difference between the two numbers

25 Bead Strings Activities 1 Show me A simple game, but children love it!
The teacher holds up the demonstration bead string showing a chosen number. Using their individual bead strings children might: • Copy the number • Show 1 more than • Show 1 less than • Show 5 more/less than etc.
2
Counting songs and rhymes
Why not get children to join in with favourite rhymes or songs they love and count up or down with their bead strings at the same time?
E.g. ‘5 little monkeys’, ‘10 Green bottles’, ‘1, 2, 3-4-5 once I caught a fish alive’ etc.
5 3 How many beads long? • Use the bead string as a non-standard measure.
• How long is a… pencil/ your foot/ your friend’s arm, a book, etc.
4 150 Guestimate
Hide part of the bead string behind a cuddly toy or in a bag. Children have to guess how many jumbled-up beads they can see. Straighten out the string and count together.
Counting on from…
This can be a difficult concept for some children, but the bead string is a great way to demonstrate it. Choose any number as a starting point and show it on the string (e.g. 4), then count on from there.
