Put a new twist on calendar time by using a Ten Frames Calendar to teach concepts like odd and even, counting on, composing and decomposing numbers. All while making note of special school events and holidays.
A Ten Frame Calendar can help students:
- see how 10's are built
- easily understand how to decompose numbers
- develop a deeper understanding of one more/one less and ten more/ten less
- make major school events (i.e. holidays and 1st day of school) more special
Watch my Math Mondays FB Live session HERE to see the Ten Frame Calendar in action.
Check out these FREE resources and get started in your classroom
(1) Ten Frame Calendar Blackline Master
This will need to be blown up and laminated. If you are planning to use this for the entire school year, you will want to blow two of them up. You may also want to laminate them so that they will last.
(2) Question Prompts
Several discussion prompts cards that you can choose from when teaching from the calendar. (Ex. How many days are there until ---? Explain)
(3) Calendar Event Labels
Labels that denote special holiday and school events (ex. field trips, 100th Day of School, etc.)
(4) Ten Frames Worksheet
A worksheet template that can be used to practice the math skills. This can be used for morning work, early finisher activity, etc.
