About this worksheet
Six ten frames filled with bright counters, each on its own colored card with a subtraction problem underneath. The child crosses out the counters being taken away and writes how many are left. Two little ladybugs sit at the top of the page.
Ten frames are worth the time because they let children see a number instead of counting it. A child who knows that a full frame is 10 and a full row is 5 can see at once that 10 − 1 is one short of a full frame, which is the start of real number sense rather than counting on fingers.
What students will practice
- Subtract within 10 on a ten frame
- Cross out counters to take away
- See how many are left without counting from one
