Ten frame addition

Since math is a concrete subject and not abstract, it should be taught in a hands-on manner with lots of manipulatives. Using manipulatives allows us to have a better understanding of what numbers mean so we are better prepared for abstract math concepts like number equations. The hands-on tools are also incredibly beneficial for our tactile learners. This Dinosaur theme ten frame addition is an engaging way to combine hands-on math with abstract equations. This math activity for kindergartners, preschooolers, and grade 1 students is a great way to make learning fun for students.
