Forge numbers with counters on ten-frames: build a number, complete a bond to ten, and add up to twenty — seeing the numbers, not just hearing them.
Children place counters on ten-frames to match a target number, then fill in the missing piece to complete a bond to ten, extending the work to sums up to twenty — all through visual arrangement rather than abstract symbols. This supports counting, subitizing (recognising group sizes at a glance), number bonds, and early addition. A natural starting point for Grades 1–2, or any child building confidence with numbers around ten.
A free, no-signup, no-ads math game for Grades 1–2 — practising counting, number-bonds, subitizing, addition. Play in your browser on the KidsDoMath games hub or explore more Counting & Numbers games.
