Ch. 3 Math and Ten Frames

This week in Math, we will begin Chapter 3. In this chapter, we will show and count 6,7, 8, and 9 objects. We will represent those objects with a number name and a written numeral. We will also begin using 10 frames. The ten frame is a graphic organizer arranged in two connected rows of five. It is designed this way because most people can recognize sets of five displayed in two rows. Children will use the ten frame to explore relationships of numbers that are less than 10, but more than 5. As they learn to interpret the ten frame, they will be able to see at a glance that a number such as 6 is one more than 5, but four more would be needed to make 10.
