combinations of 10- using the Tens Frame Fill iPad app

The First Grade Butterflies cooperatively utilize the iPad app, Ten Frame Fill by Classroom Focused Software, to subitize sets within a ten frame, support their understanding of the base ten number system, develop fact fluency to ten, and build their understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Utilizing the Ten Frame Fill app on the student iPads, the First Grade Mathematicians alternate recognizing the "known" part and identifying the "unknown" part within a whole of ten while verbally explaining his/her mathematical thinking and reasoning to the iPad math partner.

Partners listen attentively to monitor understanding and are developing their use of questions to support their partner in explaining his/her mathematical thinking and reasoning and/or to support their partner in monitoring the effectiveness of the strategy (or strategies) used.
