We call them the "tricky teens" for a reason. They have to know how to count through the teens (If you have taught kindergarten long enough- you know how brutal the teens can be for some kids- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-uuuhhhhh64?), write the number (thats right they have to write "14" not "41"), know what it looks like, and also know how to show the quantity in the ten frames. This can be challenging for their young brains to grasp all of this. It takes a lot of visuals, opportunities for practice, and repetition to master.
What I love about this activity is that it can be done independently. I wanted something that would give them practice, but also have work to show me when it was completed.
I do math and literacy stations at four tables and we rotate. This activity was is placed at the table that comes right to me for their next station. When they are finished with this station, they bring their paper to me and I quickly look over their work. This allows me to explain any misunderstandings and for them to fix their mistakes. I always make sure that I first give positive feedback on what they did correctly. Effective feedback can boost their confidence and is good for learning.
