What this sheet practices
A ten frame shows a number as filled and empty spaces. Children read how many are filled, then answer how many more are needed to make ten.
Errors worth watching for
- Recounting every dot instead of recognizing five and some more.
- Answering the number of empty spaces when the question asks for filled ones.
How to use it
- Set the difficulty. Easy narrows the range; challenge adds missing values or extra steps.
- Choose how many questions and how many fit on a page. Ten per page is the most readable default.
- Print, or save as PDF. Replace any single question with the circular arrow if it does not fit your group.

About this generator
Why ten frames instead of loose dots?
The frame makes five and ten visible, which is the foundation for mental addition.
How many frames per question?
One. If your child needs two frames, move to Counting to 20.
Can I print this worksheet on A4 paper?
Yes. Switch Paper to A4 in the settings panel. The layout recalculates the page height and keeps 0.5-inch margins, so nothing is cut off.
Is an answer key included?
The generator always produces an answer key and worked solutions. They are part of the pass; the student sheet can be previewed and printed for free.
