Printable Ten Frames Templates

These printable ten frames help students develop a strong foundation of ten, which is vital for their success in math. When students can partition numbers into tens, they can better manipulate numbers mentally. That’s where ten frames come in handy! They help students develop a visual image for each number using the benchmark numbers 5 and 10.

This resource includes:

Ten Frame Mat (10 squares)
Double Ten Frame Mat (20 squares)

These printable ten frames also come in both PDF and Google Slides format. The Google Slides format includes colored counters, turning the frames into an interactive digital resource!

Why Use Our Printable Tens Frames in the Classroom?

Ten frames help students build number sense, understand place value, and develop mental math strategies by showing quantities and relationships between numbers clearly. They can facilitate addition and subtraction by providing a visual aid to see how numbers combine to make ten or how they break down from ten.

This tool also supports differentiated learning, catering to students at various levels by allowing for hands-on and interactive learning experiences. Overall, tens frames enhance engagement and understanding, laying a strong foundation for more advanced mathematical skills.

This resource can be used to reinforce:

the understanding of numbers 0–20
the understanding that the teen numbers are composed of a ten and ‘some’ ones
modelling the action of joining and separating to represent addition and subtraction
basic fact strategies for addition and subtraction
