Students count the dots in each ten frame and paste the matching number from the bottom strip.

This is a "Ten Frame Cut & Paste" worksheet designed for early math learners, typically kindergarten or first-grade students. The goal is to help children practice counting and number recognition using ten frames, which are visual tools that represent numbers from 0 to 10.

🔍 What is a Ten Frame?

A ten frame is a grid of 10 boxes (usually arranged in two rows of five). It helps children visualize numbers by filling in the boxes with dots or counters. This supports understanding of number composition, counting, and place value.

📝 Instructions on the Worksheet:

> *"Cut out the numbers. Glue them next to the correct ten frame."*

There are:
- 6 ten frames (each with a different number of black dots)
- A strip at the bottom with numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Students must cut out these numbers and glue each one next to the ten frame that shows that many dots.

✔ Step-by-Step Solution:

Let’s count the dots in each ten frame and match it to the correct number:

#### 1. Top-left ten frame:
- Dots: 10 (all boxes filled)
- ➜ Match with 10

#### 2. Top-right ten frame:
- Dots: 7 (top row: 5, bottom row: 2)
- ➜ Match with 7

#### 3. Second row, left:
- Dots: 8 (top row: 5, bottom row: 3)
- ➜ Match with 8

#### 4. Second row, right:
- Dots: 5 (top row: 5, bottom row: 0)
- ➜ Match with 5

#### 5. Third row, left:
- Dots: 4 (top row: 4, bottom row: 0)
- ➜ Match with 4

#### 6. Third row, right:
- Dots: 2 (top row: 2, bottom row: 0)
- ➜ Match with 2

#### 7. Bottom-left ten frame:
- Dots: 9 (top row: 5, bottom row: 4)
- ➜ Match with 9

#### 8. Bottom-right ten frame:
- Dots: 6 (top row: 5, bottom row: 1)
- ➜ Match with 6

Wait — there are only 6 ten frames shown, but I just counted 8. Let's recheck the image layout.

Actually, looking closely:
- There are 6 ten frames total.
- The layout appears as:
- Row 1: 2 frames
- Row 2: 2 frames
- Row 3: 2 frames

Let me recount carefully:

1. Top-left: 10 dots → 10
2. Top-right: 7 dots → 7
3. Middle-left: 8 dots → 8
4. Middle-right: 5 dots → 5
5. Bottom-left: 9 dots → 9
6. Bottom-right: 6 dots → 6

So the six ten frames show:
- 10, 7, 8, 5, 9, 6

But the number strip has: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

So students will cut out the numbers: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and glue them next to the corresponding ten frames.

Numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 are not used because none of the ten frames have that many dots.

✔ Final Answer (Matching):

| Ten Frame | Number of Dots | Correct Number |
|----------|----------------|----------------|
| Top-left | 10 | 10 |
| Top-right| 7 | 7 |
| Middle-left | 8 | 8 |
| Middle-right | 5 | 5 |
| Bottom-left | 9 | 9 |
| Bottom-right | 6 | 6 |

💡 How to Use This Worksheet:

1. Print and cut out the number strip at the bottom.
2. Count the dots in each ten frame.
3. Glue the correct number next to the matching ten frame.
4. Reinforces one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, and subitizing (recognizing quantities without counting).

✔ Educational Goals:

- Develop number sense
- Practice counting and matching
- Introduce base-10 concepts
- Improve fine motor skills through cutting and gluing
