Grade One is using 10 frames to help us count. We are learning to group things in groups of 10 to help us count large amounts. One of our daily calendar activities is counting the days to the 100th day of school. So far, we’ve been in school 24 days. Here is a photo of our 100th Day counting activities.
We are learning that when we are counting things that are more than 10 counting is made easier when we group objects in groups of 10. Using a 10 frame makes counting fun. We put the objects on the 10 frames. When the objects are on the 10 frame we are learning that we don’t have to recount each group of 10 – we know there are 10.
To practice counting play some of the games below. You just need to click on the picture and you will go to the game. Then watch our video. We are working hard at counting.
For a challenge try making some bigger numbers.
For more fun Math games look at the top of the blog – “Pages”. There are two Math pages – “Tech tools for Math” and “Math Sites to Visit”. Look for more counting games there.
Remember:
Group your objects in groups of 10.
One ten and 7 more is 17.
One ten and 5 more is 15
Two tens and 3 more is 23.
Two tens and 8 more is 28.

Dear AA,
Thanks so much for your nice comment. We are learning to count by 2s, 5s and 10s too. Isn’t it fun to count? What do you like to count or what do you find yourself counting frequently?

@ Mrs Lynch and children,
Thank you for writing back to me. You asked a really wonderful question Mrs Lynch about what I like to count.
I have just recently started a new job and I find I am for ever counting by 2′s.

Dear Mrs Lynch and Class,

What you are learning in Maths is awesome. In Maths we are learning about 2D. 2D shapes are not 3D. We are also learning about Multiplication
Your Counting activities look like so much fun. I have not played one of those games sadly. You sure can practice making Groups at home.
That one with the blocks was so much fun
From your pal,
BB.
Dear BB,
I bet you are very good at counting. What do you like to count?
Thanks for your awesome comment. Have fun multiplying.

Hello,
I thought the song choice was really fun. Mayla and I watched it together and now I know everyone’s names. Mayla wants to say that she has a lot of fun counting and watching her friends.

Dear Dee and Mayla,
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I was so happy to hear that you watched the video together. It must have been fun for Mayla to tell you about her friends. Thanks for being such a great support to our learning Dee.

Dear Mrs. Lynch,
We love these activities so much! Noah’s favourite is the spaceship game. Liam’s favourite is the Cookie Monster game (letters). They are having so much fun learning!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
