To solve this worksheet, we need to fill in the "Double Ten Frames" for each number shown on the penguins.
What is a Double Ten Frame?
A double ten frame is just two regular ten-frames stacked on top of each other.
* The
top row has 10 boxes.
* The
bottom row has 10 boxes.
* Together, they can hold up to 20 items.
How to fill them out:
1. Always start filling from the
top left box.
2. Fill the entire
top row first (that’s 10).
3. Then move to the
bottom row and keep counting until you reach the number on the penguin.
Let’s go through each penguin one by one:
---
Penguin with 12:
* Top row: Fill all 10 boxes. (We have used 10.)
* Bottom row: We need 2 more to make 12. So, fill the first 2 boxes.
*
✔ Result: Top row full (10), bottom row has 2 filled.
---
Penguin with 18:
* Top row: Fill all 10 boxes. (We have used 10.)
* Bottom row: We need 8 more to make 18. So, fill the first 8 boxes.
*
✔ Result: Top row full (10), bottom row has 8 filled.
---
Penguin with 17:
* Top row: Fill all 10 boxes. (We have used 10.)
* Bottom row: We need 7 more to make 17. So, fill the first 7 boxes.
*
✔ Result: Top row full (10), bottom row has 7 filled.
---
Penguin with 16:
* Top row: Fill all 10 boxes. (We have used 10.)
* Bottom row: We need 6 more to make 16. So, fill the first 6 boxes.
*
✔ Result: Top row full (10), bottom row has 6 filled.
---
Penguin with 15:
* Top row: Fill all 10 boxes. (We have used 10.)
* Bottom row: We need 5 more to make 15. So, fill the first 5 boxes.
*
✔ Result: Top row full (10), bottom row has 5 filled.
---
Penguin with 4:
* Top row: We only need 4 total, so we don’t fill the whole top row. Just fill the first 4 boxes.
* Bottom row: Leave all boxes empty.
*
✔ Result: Top row has 4 filled, bottom row is empty.

Final Answer:
Here is how many boxes to shade for each penguin:
-
12: Shade all 10 boxes in the top frame + 2 boxes in the bottom frame.
-
18: Shade all 10 boxes in the top frame + 8 boxes in the bottom frame.
-
17: Shade all 10 boxes in the top frame + 7 boxes in the bottom frame.
-
16: Shade all 10 boxes in the top frame + 6 boxes in the bottom frame.
-
15: Shade all 10 boxes in the top frame + 5 boxes in the bottom frame.
-
4: Shade 4 boxes in the top frame + 0 boxes in the bottom frame.
