Number Sense -- Grade One

Developing a strong number sense in the primary grades is essential to the success of young mathematicians. These simple worksheets present learners with a series of ten-frames, asking them to write the number shown in each model....

Have fun while building the number sense of young mathematicians with this list of ten-frame learning games. From developing cardinality and counting skills to learning place value and basic addition strategies, ten-frames are excellent...

Looking for patterns is a key skill young learners need to know. They build number sense by first looking for number patterns in a series of simple addition and subtraction problems that all involve the number zero. They work with a...

Numbers 1-10 are spelled out and visually represented in this simple PowerPoint. Not only will this slideshow help them practice how to spell these number words, but it will help them practice their number sense with the great pictures....

How to make the number 10, let us count the ways! Kids discover different ways they can make the number 10 by adding two numbers together. They work as a class to come up with all the variations or equations that make 10 and then attempt...

Is one shoe still a pair? A tough question first graders can answer after exploring numbers that double. They are shown a series of images such as, tigers, shoes, paper towels, and bowling pins. They create a doubles chart by first...

Being able to recognize number bonds that make 10 is a great way to help learners add 3 digits together. First they make 10 by adding two numbers together, then they assess 3 digit addition sentences, where they make 10 first then add-on...

Young mathematicians work through five story problems that reinforce number bonds to 10. They will read each problems then see the associated addition or subtraction equation for each. 

Practice and play this game to enhance your learner's ability to make the number 10 through addition. Each slide shows an equation with a missing addend and a party hat with a given number of dots, they need to determine how many dots...

"How can you help students visualize numbers in a way that is compatible with our base-ten number system?" The answer is simple: use ten-frames. Whether they're being used as a part of classroom routines or as instructional tools, this...
