Five+&+Ten+Frames



=**Five-Frames and Ten-Frames: **=

What are they?
===Five-frames and ten-frames are one of the most important models to help students anchor to 5 and 10. Five frames are a 1x5 array and ten frames are a 2x5 array in which counters or dots can be placed to illustrate numbers.===

Why?
===When we introduce students to five-frames and ten-frames and they can "see" the relationship to 5 and 10 we are giving them a solid base in number sense. Students can then apply this knowledge as they advance through concepts and grades. When we start with a five-frame students will be able to make the connection if they have 2 on the five-frame they need 3 more to make 5. Then when 5 is established, move on to the ten-frame. When you begin relate it to 5. Ask students to show you 5 and 2 more. How many squares are full? How many squares are empty? Then relate this back to 10. After the students see the relationships, then introduce written numerals to match the five or ten frames.===
