10 Frame Games

We learned a new game yesterday. Each player gets a ten-frame board and the goal is to fill your ten-frame as quickly as possible. The players take turns rolling a die and then placing the same number of markers on their board. As the boards get full, the game gets very exciting as you need to roll the exact number you need to fill your board (e.g., rolling a three of you have three spaces left). This game helps children understand the different quantities that make up 10 (e.g., 6+4, 7+3, 5+5).
