Printable Ten Frames for Your Maths Toolkits!

These ten frame printable templates are an excellent resource for enhancing your students’ mathematical skills. The tens frame is a straightforward yet effective tool that can be utilised to provide a better understanding of numbers and inspire a deeper understanding of maths.

Use this resource in a variety of ways in the mathematics classroom. Print the page on coloured cardboard and use coloured counters.

This resource can be used to reinforce:

The understanding that 100 is made up of ten 10s
Double-digit addition within 100
Double-digit subtraction
Place value up to 100

What Can You Teach With a Ten Frame?

Teach Your Students to Subitise: Ten frames help students develop subitising skills, which is identifying the number of items in a group without counting them individually. The filled squares on the frame make it easy to perceive the number of objects in a set.
Practise Counting: By placing counters or manipulatives on the tens frame, students can efficiently count the occupied squares and reinforce their understanding of the correlation between numbers and objects through one-to-one correspondence.
Compose and Decompose Numbers: Using ten frames can help students comprehend how numbers can be taken apart and put together to form larger numbers. This promotes their understanding of composing and decomposing numbers.
Essential Addition and Subtraction: Ten frames are helpful tools for basic addition and subtraction, providing a visual model of combining and removing objects. By manipulating counters on the tens frame, students can efficiently perform addition and subtraction operations and generate mental maths strategies.

Choose and Print!
