Virtual Ten Frames and Counters
Interactive ten frames with red and yellow two-color counters, made for kindergarten and first grade on the smartboard. Tap a box to add or remove a counter, use up to four frames for numbers to 40, and show the total.
Flash mode shows a number for two seconds and then hides it – a quick way to practice seeing amounts without counting one by one.
How to use it in class
- Choose frames. One frame for numbers to 10, up to four for numbers to 40.
- Add counters. Pick red or yellow and tap the boxes.
- Random number. Tap “Random number” for a new amount, sometimes split into two colors.
