Read with an adult. Take your time. You can say, point, draw or write your answer.
1 Let's look together
A full ten-frame has ten spaces, with one counter in every space. Ten and three more make thirteen. We write 13.
Teen numbers have one whole ten and some extra ones. Say the teen number carefully: thirteen is not thirty.
Look, point and talk with your adult.
2 Watch how I do it
I fill ten spaces. I put three counters in the next frame. Ten and three make thirteen.
3 Your turn
Ten counters and six extra counters make which number?
Have a go before opening the answer.
Let's check together
Sixteen: 16.
4 Try it away from the page
Build 11, 14 and 19 with a full ten-frame and extra ones. Say each number aloud.

Adult notes · prerequisites, safety and coverage
Prerequisite: secure sets to ten. Revisit eleven and twelve as number names; children need repeated matching, not just reading digits.
Use large counters, blocks and paper before symbols. Revisit a lesson until the child can show and explain the idea. Numbers grow from 0–10 to 20, then 100; these pages are not a one-sitting course.
Represent, read and write numerals to 100; count in twos, fives and tens.
