How to Set Up the Winter Teen Number Writing and Ten Frame
I wanted to use the number strips repeatedly to work on counting and writing, so we laminated ours. They just stand up to a lot more use this way. Plus, the kids can use a dry erase marker (fun!) and write their numbers over and over again! I also gathered some different small items to use in the ten frame. A few options could be:- Cereal like Cheerios
- Gems
- Dot Markers
- LEGO blocks or math cubes
- Small toys
- Mini Erasers
- Pom poms
- Playdough
- Cotton Balls
How to Use the Winter Teen Number Writing and Ten Frames
Each strip has a designated number, a space to write that number, and two ten frames. There are ten frame puzzles included for a matching game. Those are intended to be used in lieu of the gems or other small objects. But they can also be used as a guide!For the puzzles, we just matched the correct set of ten frames to the correct number strip. Then I had them use the dry erase marker to write the numbers as many times as possible.
The next step is using a small object to make the ten frame ourselves. We had some really pretty gems so we used them. I wanted my kids to play with the number strips so I let them explore on their own. But I did encourage them to count the gems and put them on the ten frame.
