Smartboard Lessons - Tens-Frames for Building Math Number Sense K-1

Here is your next set of Smart board lessons created from:  “Number Talks Helping Children Build Mental Math and Computation Strategies. These lessons include fluency number talks using Five- and Ten-Frames.

These 66 daily tens-frame lessons provide multiple opportunities for your students to work with and visualize numbers in a variety of combinations. These lessons are designed to be presented sequentially allowing students to apply the strategies learned from previous problems. The focus of the number lessons 3 to 9 centers around asking students “How many dots do you see?" and; "How do you see them?" The last number talk lesson for the number 10 switches the number talk focus to “How many more to make ten?”

All Smart board lessons provide a lesson plan to facilitate direct instruction and follow-up activities, as well as supporting website resources, and activities links in the resource section. In the resource section, you will find links your students can use in the computer lab for follow-up practice.

The next set of lessons that I will upload for you will focus on introducing and developing math fact strategies for first and second grade through use of Dot Images, the Rekenrek, and the Tens-Frame.

I would be happy to respond.  For anyone who is unable to open Smart Board documents, I will be creating these in power point when I have completed the Smart Board Lessons. Keep watching for additional Smart board lessons and activities that can also be used for centers.
