Are you looking for fall-themed activities for your students? These free ten-frame cards feature 2 designs, each with a blank ten frame and a filled ten frame. Also in colour and black and white. Perfect to support your Foundation phase maths.
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.
What’s Inside
Ten frames for 0 to 10 (4 per page)
2 designs - blank ten frame, filled ten frame
Colour or black and white for each.

Are you looking for engaging ways to help your students understand odd and even numbers? These odd and even numbers worksheets are no-prep activities to save you valuable time and help your students gain a deeper understanding of odd and even numbers and how they support mathematical thinking.
Benefits:
Understanding the rules of odd and even numbers goes beyond memorising equations like “odd + odd = even”.
Here’s why it’s beneficial:
Knowing if a number is even lets you quickly predict results of certain operations. For example, you know adding an even number to any number won’t change its odd/even property (even + even = even, even + odd = odd). This makes many calculations faster and easier.
Even numbers are divisible by 2. Understanding even/odd lays the groundwork for learning divisibility rules for other numbers.
Classifying numbers as odd or even helps with grouping and sorting problems. You can quickly identify which numbers can be paired together and which ones will be left out.
Odd and even form a basic number pattern. Recognizing this pattern helps develop logical thinking skills, which are crucial throughout mathematics.
What’s inside:
What are odd and even numbers? - Odd or even? Pairing Activity
Odd and even numbers on a 100 chart
Odd word search
Double Trouble
