Blank tens frames template

This blank tens frames template is a versatile maths resource for Year 1, supporting early counting, number bonds and place value. Aligned with the White Rose small steps and the National Curriculum, tens frames help children build a strong understanding of number structure and develop fluency with numbers to 10 and beyond.

Use this template in a variety of ways: children can place counters, draw dots, use stickers or write numbers directly into each box. It’s ideal for exploring number bonds, subitising, doubling, odd and even numbers, and basic addition or subtraction. The flexibility makes it suitable for whole-class work, small group intervention or independent practice.

The clear and simple layout ensures that children can easily visualise numbers and compare quantities, supporting them in building key concepts that underpin later maths success. You can print and laminate for repeated use or use it as part of cut-and-stick tasks.

This resource fits easily into daily maths lessons, continuous provision or targeted support. It’s also great for SEND and EAL learners who benefit from visual structure.

Part of our complete Year 1 maths worksheets collection, all aligned with the White Rose small steps and designed to build strong number sense.
