Benefits of using ten frames for students:
Visualizing Numbers: Ten frames give your students a concrete way to see numbers. Instead of just memorising names and order, they can arrange counters on the frame to physically represent quantities. This helps them develop a deeper understanding of what numbers mean.
Composing and Decomposing Numbers: By adding or removing counters on the ten frame, your students can see how numbers can be broken down (decomposed) into smaller parts and built up (composed) from smaller parts. This lays the foundation for addition and subtraction skills.
Stronger Number Sense: Ten frames help your students develop a strong number sense. This means they can understand relationships between numbers, like how close a number is to 5 or 10. This is a crucial foundation for future maths learning.

Why play maths games with older students?
High school can be a tough time for students’ engagement with maths. Here’s where maths games can come in! They offer a bunch of advantages that go beyond just rote memorization:
Games make learning fun! This can be a game-changer (pun intended) for your students who find traditional maths drills boring. Engagement fuels a desire to learn and participate.
Many maths games target specific skills, like fractions, decimals, or pre-algebra. By playing repeatedly, students practice and solidify these concepts in a low-pressure environment.
Maths games often involve challenges that require strategic thinking and creative solutions. This strengthens critical thinking and problem-solving muscles that benefit students in all areas, not just maths.
Games can cater to different learning styles, allowing students to grasp concepts in a way that works best for them. This can be a big help for students who struggle with traditional methods.
Games provide a space to experiment and make mistakes without fear of penalty. This encourages students to take risks and develop a “growth mindset” about maths.
In short, maths games can turn maths from a chore into an engaging and enriching experience for your high schoolers.
