About this worksheet

A ten frame is a grid of ten boxes, and it makes the pairs of numbers that add to ten easy to see: when 7 boxes are filled, 3 are empty. Knowing these pairs by heart is the foundation for adding within twenty, because most larger facts are solved by making a ten first. On this grade 1 worksheet each line shows a ten frame with some counters in it and an addition sentence with a gap, such as 7 + ____ = 10, and your child writes how many more are needed to fill the frame.

Support sheets use frames that are mostly full, and challenge sheets use frames with only a few counters. Cover the empty boxes with your hand and ask how many are missing.

What your child will learn

  • Read how many counters are in a ten frame
  • Find how many more make 10
  • Learn the pairs of numbers that add to 10
  • Write the missing number in an addition sentence

Common Core standard: 1.OA.C.6

Worked example

The frame has 6 counters. 6 + ____ = 10. Four boxes are empty, so write 4.

Common mistake

Counting the counters and writing that number instead of the empty boxes.

Helpful hint

Count the empty boxes. That is how many more make 10.
