How to use this teaching resource

• INCLUDES 11 PAGES – 1 PAGE OF BLANK 10 FRAMES, 1 PAGE EACH OF 1-10 DOTTED FRAMES WITH 4 DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF DOTS ON EACH PAGE…
• Ideal for recognising dotted number formations and number clusters – hold up the cards and ask children to say how many dots there are – talk about patterning and clusters – eg. ‘3 dots on this side and 3 dots on this side – 6 dots’ – ‘There is a line of dots across the top of the frame – this is 5 dots – half of the frame – half of ten’
• Children add counters to the different arrangements to make up 10 – use loads of maths language as they go – record the process using number cards. Eg. “This card starts with 6 dots – I add 2 more counters – now there are 8 – I add another 2 counters – now there are 10” 6 + 4 = 10
• These are ideal for Interactive Whiteboards – children draw on the extra counters in the spaces – loads of math language opportunities with these cards.
• Use 2 frames or more to investigate beyond 10
• Using blank frames – show a dotted frame for 3 seconds – children have to match the position and number using counters on their blank frames.
• Display number cards underneath to represent different dotted frames and configurations.
• Using 2 blank frames each – children take turns throwing a dice – they place that amount of counters onto their frames. Continue around the group until first person fills their twenty spaces – they are the winner – again loads of language here as the game is played.
•  Using the full 10 dotted frames – Using the full 10 dotted frames – reproduce the full page 10 frame several times – laminate these and cut a puzzle cut across the width of each frame in different configurations to make 2 pieces.   Children then have to match the pieces to make up the ten – so eg… 3 and 7   ,   6 and 4   etc….
• OR
• cut them up into all sorts of different configurations and groupings – children then use these configurations to make up and represent all sorts of number stories – eg. 2 dots plus 2 dots plus 2 dots is 8 – eg. 8 dots and 4 dots and 3 dots = 15 dots..
• ABSOLUTELY LOADS OF MATH LEARNING WITH THESE – CUT THEM IN ALL SORTS OF WAYS – PUT THEM TOGETHER TO MAKE UP ALL SORTS OF NUMBER INVESTIGATIONS, GROUPINGS AND MORE – DON’T FORGET THAT GREAT LANGUAGE WHICH COMES FROM THIS….
