Ten Frame Read-Build-Write Numeracy Board is a versatile math tool designed to help children develop a strong foundation in basic addition and subtraction. This hands-on material allows children to engage with number sentences in three interactive steps—reading the problem, building it with wool balls on the ten frame, and writing the answer on the chalkboard section below. This multi-step process reinforces their understanding of both addition and subtraction while enhancing fine motor skills.

Teachers will appreciate the board’s clear structure and intuitive design. Children begin by reading a simple number sentence, such as "5 + 2" or "7 - 3," then build it by placing or removing the corresponding number of wool balls on the ten frame. Finally, they write the answer below, transforming abstract arithmetic into a tangible experience. The use of wool balls adds a sensory element, making learning both tactile and visual.

This numeracy board also offers flexibility. Teachers can vary the activity by using different manipulatives, turning it into a tonging or tweezing exercise, or encouraging children to create and solve their own number sentences. As children progress, they can use the board to explore number bonds, solve word problems, and practice mental math strategies, making it a versatile and a valuable addition to any math curriculum.
