Examples of Representing Teen Numbers (11-19) with Ten Frames & Blocks

🔢 Quick Study Guide

• ➕ Teen numbers are numbers from 11 to 19.
• 🖼️ A ten frame is a visual tool with 10 spaces used to represent numbers.
• 🧱 Representing teen numbers involves showing one full ten frame (10) and some extra ones.
• ✏️ Example: 13 is shown as one full ten frame (10) and three extra blocks (3), making it 10 + 3.
• 🧮 We are essentially decomposing numbers into tens and ones.
• 💡 Representing numbers with blocks helps kids visualize place value.
