Ten Frame 'Flip It, Make It, Write It' Activity

This hands-on and engaging Ten Frame Maths Activity is perfect for EYFS, KS1, or SEND learners developing their number sense and early addition skills.

Designed to be laminated for repeated use, this interactive resource supports the ‘Flip it, Make it, Write it’ structure:

Flip it:

Children select a card at random from the set of 43 ten-frame cards (numbers within 10). Each card displays a combination of red and yellow counters.

Make it:

Pupils recreate the ten frame they picked using either:

- Red and yellow counters provided in the resource (20 of each)

- Physical counters commonly found in classrooms

Write it:

Using the included 5-box addition sentence chart, children break down what they see into a written number sentence. For example, a card showing 6 red and 1 yellow counter becomes:

1 | + | 6 | = | 7
