Magnetic Ten Frame Set with 66 Multi Shape Counters

The grandkids like these games. A fun way to practice math.

This is great for my grandson while we waiting for our food at restaurants and when he needs some extra activity anytime.

As a preschool/PreK teacher I am always looking for interactive ways that will engage my students, these are exactly what I was looking for: What I love: The pieces are very bright, and easy for preschoolers to hold and manipulate. The shapes are super cute, and interesting “child-friendly” shapes like apples, cars, flowers, circles, hearts, and stars. This is great for teaching some basic shapes too. The magnetic ten frame boards have coordinating colors to the magnets, which are super bright and appealing colors and great for using in small groups, to track who is using which set. These are perfect for small group teaching activities, since my groups have about 6 children at a time in them anyways. This activity helps children make connections with counting numbers using one to one correspondence, since children can count them, and the number square helps them track when they count. The magnets stick nicely to the 10 frames, and the boards stick well to both magnetic white boards and magnetic chalkboard surfaces, even fridges with magnetic surfaces, if you want to have your preschooler practice this at home. There is blank space on the 10 frame cards to write numbers, and for more advanced students, number sentences, which is great to help students learn to correlate numbers they are saying with the number they counted. It is really nice that they included an extra magnet of each shape, in case my little ones lose them. : ) The set includes 4 slim markers with attached erasers which are really easy to use and erase. I would probably have wanted two more markers, just because there are 6 ten frames set, and only 4 markers for four sets, but not a problem for me because I am having my students use my “fat” dry erase markers because they are easier for my little ones to hold. (I can use these, and will give them the other markers, this way I can write the number with the thin marker if they need to trace a number or write out a number sentence.) I really like the ten frames as an intro set for my little ones. To extend on this I would probably purchase another set, so that if I have students who are more advanced, I can stack 2 cards together to practice counting to 20. Overall I highly recommend this set! I love that we can do this at the carpet in a small group and then students can work together collaboratively at the board, and because pieces are magnetic, they are super easy to use, and less easy for the children to lose the pieces. Hope you get a chance to try this out, because it is a fun way to introduce then frames with little ones!

I homeschool my 6 year old grandson. He doesn't really like school and we have to work with him to keep him interested in anything. These manipulatives were perfect. I especially love that one of the magnet sets is of cars. That is his favorite. We spent a good bit of time this morning making all kinds of games with these. He would roll a dice and whatever the number was that he rolled would be the number of magnets he would put in his ten square. Then he would roll another number and add those. Then he would write the equation at the bottom. We also had him load up the ten square, roll, and take away the number of magnets he rolled for subtraction. Later we used the squares on the boards to practice letter writing. We did missing letters, or he would match the lower case to the capital, etc. Lots of markers with built in erasers, magnet tiles in hearts, circles, cars, stars, flowers, etc. Even the ten square boards are magnetic so he can sit at his desk or work on the fridge or in the office on the filing cabinet. I can't wait to see what all we come up with.

I teach first grade and am always looking for new and engaging materials to use with my students. These magnetic ten frame sets are just perfect! Not only are the foam shapes bright and appealing to youung kids, but the magnets on them are strong enough to hold well, but not so strong that they are not easily removed. The yen frames are also magnetic so I can place them on my whiteboard for "scoots" or centers. The markers are not very useful, the caps are a little difficult for the students to take on and off (many first graders lack this fine motor control) but I just used them for something else and the students used the erasable markers we already had in class. I would recommend this ten-frame set, and it would make a good gift for any preschool, kindergarten or first grade teacher.

We homeschool and private tutor my daughter so I'm always looking for teaching tools that are bright, colorful, and functional. Both the "cards" and the foam counters are magnetic, so you can stick them to themselves or any magnetic surface and they hold well. The markers included have erasers on the end which is a nice little bonus. You can write your own equations and with 6 cards and 66 counters, it's a fun visual way to teach basic mathematical concepts. And even better that it all fits in a small box. Very happy I tried these- my daughter loves them and I love that they're made well, that the magnets have a strong hold, and everything needed for hours of learning is all there and included in this set.

This is a really nice set - it comes with 6 magnetic 10-frame boards, 4 dry erase markers with an eraser on top and magnetic piece on the side, and 6 sets (11 pieces each) of colorful shapes to use on the 10-frame board. I used my own snack bags to separate each of the shapes into. So far, I really love everything about this, and the quality is on point - the pieces are decently thick and everything seems well made. This is advertised to be used for addition and subtraction, but you could easily use it for some basic small times tables as well. This is such a great visual tool to have, especially for teachers or for parents who homeschool. I would definitely order another of these.
