Ten Frame Counting - Halloween

Ten Frame Counting - Halloween

(0)
This Halloween themed ten frame counting task card activity is a great way for students to work on their ten frame/counting skills while continuing the theme of Halloween within your learning setting. This activity includes 11 different task cards containing numbers from 0 - 10. They come in b.w and col option for your preference. Students simply count the amount of zombies in the ten frame on the task card then choose their answer out of 2 possibilities on the bottom of the task cards. Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document. I would highly recommend laminating each of the individual task cards so that they will be stronger, therefore longer lasting. This is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged while working on their ten frame counting skills.
