Arrow Cards are a great tool for helping students to build the standard number or decompose the base ten parts of the number. These can be used for understanding place value or scaffolding partial sum addition.

Hundred strips are basically 2-D base-ten blocks. This document prints out with six 100 squares. Printed out on card stock and cut apart, it's an easy way to make a take-home set for students who need that visual tool.

Students who are ready to move beyond the ten frame and work with tens as a unit may still need a visual representation of tens and ones. The game shows how you can use arrow cards and tens strips to practice building numbers.

Big Ten Frames (teacher demo set)
Ten Frames (student set) Additional frames (dice, fives and more tens) Ten Frame Cards with Numbers | Ten frames are appropriate when students are ready to move from counting by ones, but not quite ready to accept that something can represent ten. Set up in two groups of five, students can subitize the "five" and "five" . For students who need to work with five first, check out the additional frames.
