Ten frames are a fantastic way to visualize numbers, especially when you're working with numbers between 11 and 19. Imagine each ten frame as holding ten little counters. When you're representing numbers like 11, you'll have one full ten frame (that's 10) and one extra counter in another frame (that's 1). So, 10 + 1 = 11!
For numbers 12 through 19, you'll always have one full ten frame, and the extra counters will be anywhere from 2 to 9. For instance, if you have a full ten frame and 5 extra counters, you've got 15! This method makes it super clear how many 'tens' and 'ones' make up each number. It's all about visualizing and understanding place value in a simple, fun way!
