Have you ever learned a new concept and found that your family was so excited about it that you just can't get it out of your head? Well. We are on a ten frame math kick these days.

10+ Cool Ten Frame Math Sets for Kids - Helps kids learn math facts, perfect for common core math.

Months ago my daughter came home from kindergarten and had to explain her math homework to me. I had never heard of ten frames before but with the common core math making its way into our house, it was time for me to learn these concepts along with her.

If you are new to ten frames like I was, I have found a couple helpful explanations of the concepts. Check out this description of Place Value and this article on using Ten Frames to Teach Number Sense. As a parent I can really see the benefits now that my daughter is a few layers in, even if it is still not second nature to me.

The overall idea of these math tools, like ten frames and number bonds is to give students several ways to put numbers together, rather than focusing solely on rote memorization of math facts. It really provides a working understanding of numbers so you can see how and why certain math facts are true.
