Ten Frame Addition and Subtraction

Last school year I used my pattern block "triangles" for shark teeth to go along with one of Heidi Butkus' math projects. My kids loved it . So I figured why not use the "square" pieces with a ten frame mat to practice and visualize addition and subtraction problems. I'm going to make a class set on cardstock and laminate them. Here's what I came up with.It's simple but I think it will be useful!

  2. Lisa, I am thinking these would be great to use with any manipulative. I plan on making a set and having students use unifix cubes or other manipulative. I am thinking they can pull numbers from a bag (eg. 2 and 3), place unifix cubes in the frame (2 green and 3 blue), then orally state the equation (2 + 3 = 5). The equation will serve as a frame for "math talk" that I just learned about by reading Debbie Diller's Math Work Stations. Hmmm ... the more I think about it, the more I love your frame. Thanks for sharing!!!
