Ten Frames

09/14/202309/15/2023 Miss Copeland

Ten-Frames are two-by-five rectangular frames into which counters are placed to illustrate numbers less than or equal to ten. Below are two ways to use them; five-wise patterns, where you fill the top row before adding to the bottom; and pair-wise patterns, where you build up in groups of two.

Pupils will develop the ability to look at a ten frame instantly recognise how many counters there are without needing to count. This is called subitising.

Pupils will also be able to explain their answer.

“There are five because the top row is filled.”
“There are ten because both rows are filled.”
“There are nine because there is one gap. Ten minus one is nine.”
“There are four because two and two makes four.”

It is very important for pupils to be able to visually recognise numbers to 10 in many ways.

Please enjoy playing the many fun games below!

Here are some ideas from staff to celebrate

at the Royal Mile:

We will launch maths week with a fun buddies

assembly to revise all our hard work on

Primary 3, 4, 6 and 7 will visit the Museum on the Mound –

Located in the historic Bank of Scotland Head Office, this fascinating museum takes a fresh look at money – and much, much more. Art & design, technology, crime, trade and security – all feature in the story of money.

and focus on amazing workshops such as:

What is Money? – Investigate a range of extraordinary artefacts once used as money in other cultures.
Heads and Tails – Explore the design and security features of coins. Discover how they were made in medieval Scotland and strike your own.
Design Your Own Banknote – Compare and contrast banknotes past and present. Add security features to your own note using stamps and invisible ink.
Kists & Keys – Spark conversations about value, some of the benefits and risks of using cards and how to keep money safe using the Museum’s collections, including £1,000,000.

We are hoping to experiment with BBC coding challenges and

Lots of opportunities to play motivating maths games by just scanning QR codes dotted around the school and spend lots of time focusing on

such as maths walks.

We already look forward to a

competition!

for your ideas and suggestions too! 🙂

Is there something maths/numeracy related that you always wanted to find out more about?

What did you really enjoy during the previous maths weeks?

LET US KNOW! Please help us make it a fantastic maths week!
