Thanksgiving Ten Frames: Count and Write

About this worksheet

Eight ten frames filled with Thanksgiving pictures (acorns, pumpkins, apples, leaves, pies, corn, turkeys and cranberries), from 2 to a full frame of 10. Children count each frame, notice how many squares are empty and write the number in the box. The frames fill row by row, the way preschool and kindergarten math programs teach them. Answer key on page 2. It is made for pre-K and preschool, roughly ages 4 to 5, with big pictures and one number per page. Trace the big number with a finger first, then color it in your favorite color.
