web site for ten frames

In our 1st grade group at the muster yesterday, I mentioned an interactive website that has a ten frame activity on it. I use it on the Smartboard, but it can also be used with a PC or laptop. It's NCTM's Illuminations site and offers several activities to support what children K-12 are doing in the classroom. There are numerous ideas under lessons and activities, as well as additional ones under Web Links that look promising for all grade levels. For my first grade colleagues, the five and ten frame is under activities, pK-2. My students love to do these during their choice time, as a rotation during Everyday Math Explorations, or at the end of the day waiting for the bus.

This is a fantastic site to explore! Ten frames were brand new to me in my learning in this project.

I can't resist sharing another favorite site with great on-line materials. The national library of virtual manipulatives is terrific and also has a PK-2 section which you can search by topic.....didn't see any ten frames, but did see some electronic base 10 materials (as well as manips for the upper grades).

Here is the link!

I also really liked exploring this 10 frame web site. It provided such a good way to visualize those 10 frames and to practice using them to develop number sense for those numbers to 10.
