Addition Within 20 With Ten Frames

This “Addition within 20 – Ten Frames” resource is a practical and engaging way for Year 1 pupils to practise addition using visual ten frames. Aligned with the UK National Curriculum objective “Add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero,” this pack focuses on developing number sense and arithmetic fluency within 20. Learners are supported through a series of structured tasks that involve using, colouring, and drawing counters on ten frames to solve addition calculations such as 13 + 5, 10 + 2, and 8 + 8. The visual format helps children to internalise number combinations and build mental calculation strategies in a concrete and accessible way. The resource includes multiple practice sheets with a range of representations, along with corresponding answer sheets for quick feedback or self-assessment. It’s ideal for whole-class lessons, small group work, interventions, or home learning. Perfect for teachers, parents, and tutors supporting early maths skills with a hands-on, visual approach.
