Practise number recognition and subitising with our Ten Frames Pick & Click PowerPoint. This interactive resource supports students in identifying quantities represented on a ten frame - a fundamental skill for building number sense in the early years.

Check out this video below to see this resource in action.

Each slide displays a ten frame with a dot pattern. Students count or subitise the number of dots and select the matching numeral from three clickable options. With instant feedback built in, this activity is perfect for reinforcing visual number knowledge and fluency in counting.

Ten Frames Pick & Click PowerPoint is ideal for warm-ups, small group activities or whole-class teaching during your number lessons.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Recognise numbers represented visually on a ten frame
• ✅ Count and subitise small collections with accuracy
• ✅ Build fluency in number identification to 10

What’s Included:

• Interactive PowerPoint with ten frame images
• Each slide includes a ten frame and three clickable number options

Materials Needed:

• Interactive whiteboard or device capable of running PowerPoint
• Optional: small whiteboards to use for extra hands-on learning

How to Use:

1. Open the PowerPoint on your interactive whiteboard or device.
2. Display a slide and ask students to count or subitise the dots.
3. Students select the number they believe matches the ten frame.
4. Click to reveal the correct answer and discuss counting strategies.
5. Continue through the slides to reinforce number fluency.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during morning number routines or maths warm-ups
• 💡 Include in rotations for independent or guided practise
• 💡 Pair with physical ten frames and counters for hands-on learning
• 💡 Turn it into a game by tracking how many answers students get correct in a row
• 💡 Use as a formative assessment tool for early number recognition

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Use small whiteboards for students to record their answers before clicking
• 💛 Encourage students to explain their counting or subitising strategy aloud
• 💛 Highlight number patterns (e.g. full top row = 5) to support faster recognition

Ten Frames Pick & Click PowerPoint is a fun and effective tool to support early learners in recognising quantities to 10 - making number practise interactive, visual and engaging.
