5 Frame and 10 Frame

On Friday your child will bring home their 10 Frame Booklet.
We used the 5 Frame and 10 Frame for a couple of things.

1. To learn how to count by 5s and 10s.
2. To see what numbers look like
3. To teach children how to add. We must first understand why numbers grow. To do so we use words such as:

MORE   and   LESS

We would say:

3 more than 2 is 5
3 + 2= 5


3 less  than 2 is 1
3 - 2 = 1

Here is an interactive game your child can play with
