Understand Place Value

• Ten-frames provide the ideal bridge between counting and grouping by ten.
  
  
• Students can readily see that a 10-frame with no empty windows shows 10 in all.
  
  
• Because the model shows each dot in its own window, students who may not be ready for the abstraction of base-10 models, are not left behind in confusion.
  
  
• At the same time students who easily absorb the idea that a single object can stand for more than 1 are not held back.
  
  
• All students can internalize the idea of a group of ten at their level on the counting-to-computation continuum.
