A ten frame has ten little rooms. When the top row is full, that’s 5 — no counting needed! Fill the top row first, always left to right.

For grown-ups: the ten frame builds “seeing without counting” (subitizing). Ask “how do you know?” after each answer — “the top row is full, and two more makes seven” is the thinking we’re after. In Make-a-Ten, the empty rooms ARE the answer: how many more to fill the frame?
