Make 10When all ten boxes in the frame are filled with counters. It's a full frame!We have 8 apples 🍎. We need 2 more apples to make 10.

The Full Frame Rule 1 full frame = 10 When you see a ten frame that is all filled up, you know it is 10. You don't even have to count! The Making 10 Rule (filled spots) + (empty spots) = 10 The counters you have plus the empty boxes you need always add up to 10. This is a number pair! The Top Row Rule 1 full top row = 5 When the whole top row is full, you know you have 5. This helps you count faster!
