How should we start this page?

Start with one ten frame, count the first part, count the second part, then say the pair that makes 10 before writing.

What if my child guesses instead of counting?

Point back to the model and count together slowly, then ask which number changed and which total stayed 10.

Is this good for kindergarten addition practice?

It supports early addition by joining two parts to make 10, which is useful groundwork for later subtraction work.

Can we use it without extra materials?

A pencil is enough, though small counters can help if your child wants to rebuild each ten frame.

When should we stop for the day?

Stop after the three models if focus fades, and come back later to read the same pairs again.

How can I reuse the practice?

Slip the page into a sheet protector or copy the three number pairs onto scrap paper for another quick round.

Learning Outcomes

Kindergarten learner → Write make-ten combinations → Records each pair in the writing fields to connect quantities with numerals.

Ten-frame model → Compare parts within a full frame → States that different pairs can share the same total.

Make Ten Ten Frames Worksheet

Kindergarten Math

English Addition & Subtraction Logical Thinking 5 years old

Five-year-olds can know the counting words and still pause when two parts need to make 10. This printable gives you a short, concrete place to start. There are three ten-frame models, with writing fields for 1 and 9, 3 and 7, and 5 and 5.

This page is a good fit when a kindergartner can count small groups and is beginning to connect a group to a written number. If they are not ready to write every number yet, you can let them say the pair out loud first, then help with the writing fields.

The practice works because each frame shows ten as a whole while the two parts stay visible. Ask, “How many in the first part? How many in the second part? How many altogether?” Then have your child write the numbers so the visual model and the make-ten fact stay connected.

Keep it light and hands-on. You can cover the writing field, let your child predict the partner number, and then check the model together. For a closely related next step, make ten number bonds show the same total in a part-part-whole format, and little math stories for addition and subtraction help children use number pairs in simple situations.
