Ten frames for Number Sense

Friends of Ten

• Use a dry erase marker to record answers, or copy one for each child in black and white.
• Use as cards for a memory game to match two that make 10.
• Match partners and show using counters or use blank cards to make your own friends of 10 cards and write equations.

Less Than or Bigger Than

Turn-a-round Facts
