Working with this sheet

Look for five first

When the first row is full, start from five and count the dots in the next row. Keep each dot inside one space.

Connect the two counts

Ask “How many dots?” and “How many more to fill the frame?” Check that the two numbers add to ten.

This sheet connects counting to making ten. It uses one ten-frame per question.
