Ten frames are tools for helping young learners develop number sense. Use counters (or any set of objects interesting to your child, such as rocks or toy trucks) to represent a number up to 10 on the ten frame. Ask "Can you put 3 ___ on the ten frame?" #MathintheMail

How far can you kick a ball? Can you throw it farther? How can you measure how far it goes? Bring a clipboard outside and record your findings. What do you see/think/wonder? #joyfulmath buff.ly/3cIQ4oA @McLennan1977

Children measure all of the time, even if they’re not using rulers or numbers while doing so. There are many great children’s books about measurement that spur on their natural fascination with the subject. Here are a few of our favorites. bit.ly/1JDERkL

Sets are basic to children’s thinking & learning. They are also basic to our number system. We often fail to appreciate how much of young children’s lives—and their play—involves thinking about & working with sets of things.
