As a teacher, I find that ten frames are the greatest teaching tool in math. Not only are the kids learning how to subitize, but they are also learning how to slow themselves down while counting items (one to one correspondence). For the next two weeks we will be working with ten frames. We have spent the last week learning what a ten frame is and how to count each circle within a ten frame to find the amount. This week the students will continue working on that skill, however they will also learn what to do when they are given the number first as opposed to the circles.
