Kindergarten math · Unit 6: Teen numbers and the number line

Ten and some more

What this lesson shows

14 counters fill a ten frame with 4 left over. 14 is 10 and 4: 10 + 4 = 14.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 14 as a ten and ones. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Fill a ten frame
  2. Put the rest in a new frame
  3. A ten and some ones
  4. Write it with numbers

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. Your kid points to the full frame and says "10", counts on the ones, and writes how many in all. Then say it: "14 is ten and four."

If your kid gets stuck

Say 10 for the full frame. Count on the rest.
