Christmas Math Ten Frames Unit

These ten frames activities will give your classroom a festive air while reinforcing number sense and subitizing! This will be a great pack for the whole month of December, it contains three styles of ten frames – Gingerbread, Santa and Reindeer and Christmas trees with presents.

There are two sets for each style:

The first set has large cards that feature a ten frame on one card and a matching card with both the numeral and number word. It includes numbers 0-20 and would be appropriate for whole group lessons and displaying in the classroom, perhaps on your math wall.

The second set includes numbers 0-20 and has smaller cards that would be appropriate for a math center activity.

Included are four recording sheets for each style as well:

The first set of recording sheets is for numbers 1-10, one has the ten frames arranged in numerical order. The other is in random order for more of a challenge. The second set of recording sheets is for numbers 11-20. It has both the numerical order and random order sheets as well.

This would correspond to Common Core K.CC.4 Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. and K.CC.5 Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.
