Learning with Ten-Frame Tiles
KP® Ten-Frame Tiles provide students with hands-on opportunities to explore and understand how base-ten numbers work. This unique manipulative promotes new ways of learning as students group and ungroup, nest and un-nest tiles to create ever larger and ever smaller powers of ten. Over time, students who engage with KP® Ten-Frame Tiles develop new ways of thinking about numbers, place value, and operations.
