Ten Frames can be an excellent tool for helping kids see the structure of 5 and 10 when counting. But what happens when students need to compute and build Additive Reasoning?Talking Points:What are Ten Frames?The 3 limitations to Ten FramesIt's not just the model, it's how you use the modelOur 3 preferred models for transitioning from counting to Additive ReasoningSee Episode 5:How Do You Reason to learn more about the Development of Mathematical Reasoning, and how it transforms our understanding of what it means to learn and teach mathematics.
