MORE THAN COUNTING
“I have seven.
How many more?”
Counting to ten is one thing. Seeing ten as two smaller groups is the next discovery.
The Ways to Ten Play Kit gives you a place to explore together: fill a ten-frame, split a group, match a pair, and say what you see. No special math language needed to start.

Before you print.
Who is this kit for?
Parents working alongside children who are exploring number pairs that make ten, around kindergarten and first-grade readiness. Your child's comfort with counting and grouping matters more than a particular age.
Is this a physical product?
No. This is a downloadable PDF kit to print at home. No physical materials are shipped. Your printable files are delivered through Gumroad after purchase.
Do I need a color printer?
You can print in grayscale. Download the free sample and check it on your own printer first. The activities use outlines and numbers as well as color.
Do I need to know how to teach math?
You can start by building a group and asking what your child notices. The parent guide includes a simple starting check, a practice order, coaching prompts, and answers. Its repeat-or-move-on guidance is a way to choose the next activity, not a diagnostic assessment. Explore together and pause whenever your child needs a break.
How do I get the files?
Purchase through Gumroad using the buy button. After checkout, Gumroad provides access to the complete ZIP with all six PDFs and a START-HERE file. Download the bundle, choose your paper size, and print the activities you need.
Which paper sizes are included?
Both US Letter and A4 are included. The full kit has 29 unique pages: an 18-page activity book, a 6-page game pack, and a 5-page parent guide and answers. Each booklet comes in both sizes, for six PDFs total.
