Snowflake Ten Frames Writing Practice

Math has many parts, and one of the most important one is the ability for children to be able to subitize. Simply put, subitizing is when a child looks at a group of numbers and instantly recognizes how many there are without counting. Think about dominoes. There are dots patterns that represent specific numbers. It only takes a little while to get used to them and to start recognizing the number without counting.

Ten frames are similar. They help children see patterns and groups of numbers. You can read more tips about helping children understand math in this post about number sense.

These math ten frames are great for children from Pre-K even through second grade. Subitizing  is a way to give all children an incredible advantage for the future math skills!

In fact, if you have a child who is already struggling with math, these may be just the tool you need to help them learn about grouping and quantification.

Here are the materials you will need:

  • Winter Ten frame cards
  • Laminator OR dry-erase pockets
  • Dry erase marker

Directions: Cut out the ten frame cards and laminate them. This instantly turns into a dry-erase surface. Set these up in a math center or for morning work, and have the children write the answers to them.

There are two blank cards for children who want to draw their own snowflakes.

Another alternative is to put these into a dry erase pocket! I actually find these irresistible and use them all the time.

With a little bit of practice, you will see how quickly and easily children will start subitizing.
