Dots in the Field

Worksheet Description

This worksheet contains rows of ten frames with some of the boxes filled with colored dots. Each row has a different number of dots and provides space for the student to draw one additional dot in the next empty box. After adding one dot, students are instructed to count all the dots within the ten frame and write the total number in the blank box provided at the end of the row. The ten frames are partially filled to visually represent numbers and the concept of adding one more.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the foundational math skill of counting on, which is adding one more to a given number. It uses the ten frame as a visual aid to help students understand the concept of incrementing a quantity by one. This task also introduces students to the structure of a ten frame, a tool commonly used in mathematics education to develop number sense. Furthermore, it encourages students to practice number writing and reinforces their counting skills.
