Ten friends and some more!
Kindergarten is where base ten begins. Kids learn that the teen numbers are really ten ones and some more ones: 14 = 10 + 4. They build numbers 11 to 19 with ten frames, cubes or fingers, and they count by tens to 100. They also count objects carefully, matching one number to each object. The click comes when a child fills a ten frame, adds three more counters and says "Thirteen! That's ten and three!"
Little mathematicians need to build, sing and draw numbers. Here is how we do it.
Give each child two ten frames and counters. Call out a teen number and have them fill the first frame completely, then add the extra ones to the second. Saying "ten and four makes fourteen" every time builds the base ten idea.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: short practice spread over several days beats one long session, according to a large review of learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

It means understanding that numbers 11 to 19 are made of one ten and some ones. For example, 16 is ten ones and six more ones.
Most kindergartners learn to count to 100 by ones and by tens by the end of the year, and to count up to 20 objects accurately.
A ten frame is a rectangle with ten boxes in two rows of five. Kids fill it with counters to see numbers and how close they are to ten.
Use egg cartons cut to ten spaces, or bundle ten straws with a rubber band. Ask "How many tens? How many extra ones?" as you build each number.
