Double Ten Frame
Two stacked ten frames that work together to represent numbers from 11 to 20 for teen-number practice.
Ten Frame Showing 7
A ten frame modeling the number 7, with a complete top row and two counters in the bottom row to show 7 as 5 plus 2.
Ten Frame Worksheet

Ten Frames to 20
A double ten frame filled with counters to model a teen number, showing how numbers to 20 build on a full first frame of ten.
What is a ten frame?
A ten frame is a simple 2x5 grid of ten equal cells used in early math to build number sense to 10. Students place counters in the cells, filling the top row first, to represent a number and to see how it relates to 5 and 10. Because the frame has a fixed structure, children quickly learn to recognize quantities at a glance, a skill called subitizing, and to understand part-part-whole relationships such as 7 being 5 plus 2. A ten frame generator turns a short description into a clean, printable frame so you can skip the drawing and go straight to teaching.
How to make and use a ten frame
Single vs double ten frame
A single ten frame holds up to 10 counters and is the right tool for building fluency with numbers 0 to 10, including pairs that make ten such as 4 and 6. A double ten frame is two 2x5 grids stacked together, giving 20 cells in total. It is used to represent numbers from 11 to 20: students fill the first frame completely to show ten, then add counters to the second frame. This makes the structure of teen numbers visible, showing that 14 is one full ten and four more, which lays the foundation for place value and regrouping later on.
Classroom uses in grades K-2
Can I get a blank ten frame printable template?
Yes. To generate a blank ten frame template, ask for an empty 2x5 grid with no counters, or request a worksheet with several blank frames on one page. Figviz draws clean, evenly spaced cells you can print and reuse, letting students place physical counters or draw dots during guided practice. A blank double ten frame works the same way for numbers to 20. Print on card stock and laminate for a reusable mat, or post the PNG to your learning platform so students can annotate it digitally from home.
