Ten Frame Towers

Stack, count, and conquer with the exciting Ten Frame Towers game! Designed to reinforce early number sense and arithmetic skills, this hands-on activity challenges players to build towers using ten frames that add up to ten. Players roll the dice and search for the correct number tiles to stack, building as high as they can without exceeding ten per level. By visualising number combinations and recognising part-part-whole relationships, students gain a stronger understanding of number bonds and mental addition strategies. This game is an ideal tool for reinforcing foundational maths concepts through active, multi-sensory learning. It promotes friendly competition and collaboration while engaging learners in a tactile exploration of numerals and operations. With 65 counting frame tiles, 2 foam dice, and a comprehensive activity guide, Ten Frame Towers is perfect for maths centres, early intervention, or fast-finisher tasks in any F-2 classroom.
