Free interactive math game: Ten-Frame Reading — Count the dots. Part of the Learning Numbers category on MathKite.
Taken from the generator that powers this exercise. A fresh set appears every time the page is opened, and the printable worksheet holds ten of them.
Reading a quantity from a ten-frame, a grid of two rows of five that makes a number visible at a glance.
A full row is five, so count complete rows first and then add the loose dots. You should not need to count one by one.
One full row plus three extra dots is 5 + 3 = 8.
Counting every dot separately. The point of the frame is to see five as a single chunk, and that habit is what later makes addition quick.
