It practices reading a quantity from the ten-frame structure — 5 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core K.CC.A.3: Write the numerals 0 to 20 and use them to show how many things there are. The instruction to students is “How many counters are in the frame?”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.3 — K.CC.A.3, under Counting & Cardinality for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Ten Frames — How Many? is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on K.CC.A.3, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 5 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 versions, of which 24 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two students still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.
