Type: Lesson Plan

Uh...oh... Some rubber duckies have gone missing. In this fun and interactive lesson, students create groups of 10 using ten-frames and small rubber duck cut-outs. When given a number from 1-9, the students will find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number using a ten-frame and rubber duck cut-outs. The students will also explain how to combine two numbers to create a group of 10.

Type: Lesson Plan

This activity will show students how exciting it can be to find groups of ten. The students must be able to recognize the number that is given as the first addend. They must then be able to work, using counters and a ten frame, toward creating another group that they can add to the first group to total one group of ten. They will work first with a partner using counters and during the assessment they would be expected to work on their own. Their completion of the assessment would show just how much of the skill they have or have not mastered.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson, students are shown a picture of a beach scene. They are asked to identify groups of ten within the picture.
