COUNTING SPOTS

Ten and some more! Are your kids struggling with those TERRIBLE TEENS?? This set of activities help your students practice building teen numbers! K.NBT.1 expects students to understand how to make a teen number. However, it doesn't expect kids to understand the standard place value concepts of tens and ones. These activities help kids to internalize that a teen number is a group of ten, and then some more! These activities are based on Math Recovery, AVMR and Singapore Math strategies.

This is a set of GHOSTLY double ten-frames. Gabby Ghost counts to 20 with her Candy Corn filling the ten frames. These are designed for full page printing, but I reduce the print to 6 per page and they come out slightly bigger than a playing card. You can make bigger or smaller by changing the number per page. I have tasks cards available to print with these cards that will be posted shortly! ENJOY!!

The term "fluency" shows up frequently in the Common Core Math Standards... but what does it really mean?? Counting Spots breaks this down for you with the easy to follow, color-coded chart! This chart shows the developmental phases students need to follow to become fluent in facts to 20. It is also color-coded to match our fluency frame cards listed below.
