Counting the Days of School | Ten Frame Counters | Math Counting Activity

Counting the Days of School is a math counting activity for early elementary students to visualize the passage of time across the school year. This teaching resource includes two sets of colorful neon ten frame counters, one with 180 frames and one with 190, to represent each day from the first day to the last day of school. Teachers can laminate the pages and display them on a classroom bulletin board. Each day, a student can fill in one frame with a sticker, tally mark, or signature to count down the days. This cross-curricular activity develops number sense, counting skills, and measurement concepts. It also builds classroom community, student ownership, and enthusiasm across the year. This versatile resource can be implemented in whole group, small group, or individual settings. Students will enjoy watching the ten frames fill up as they countdown to vacation!
