. We sing allthetime everysingleday!Today I wanted to quickly stop by to share our Making 10, 10 Frame Song. If you follow along, you know we are all about making 10 right now – apps, centers, games, the whole bundle!
On my way to the Ron Clark Academy 3 weeks ago I was stuck in grid-lock, Atlanta traffic and 90 minutes later this Making 10 Song was born. WARNING – Please don’t judge my voice. In front of 1st graders I have *THE* prettiest singing voice in the entire world. Anywhere else and my magical singing abilities don’t work! 😉
If you think this song is something your friends would love, you can click here to download the lyrics for your own classroom. If you reduce the page size to 85% when you print, it fits perfectly into an interactive math notebook.
The 10 Frame Song is super simple, but perfect for helping students remember 10 friends (and it makes for a simple and quick transition song)! I’m sure you and your little learners love it. 🙂 For other hands-on and engaging ways to practice making 10, click below!

Super post . . . love the tune!!! I will be sure to pass this one along – my pop will be thrilled to hear that you shouted him out today 🙂
Thank you, Kelley. Your Dad is awesome-sauce!!
Catherine, love this idea. You did a great job with the song. The kiddos will love it. Thanks for sharing. Would you mind if I shared it during a presentation? I'll just go to your site and show it from there, if you don't mind. Thanks for your consideration.
Hi Shannon! You are more than welcome to share. 🙂
I write my own! Here's my song about making ten: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mtup94hTA9I
I have dozens of other songs on my YouTube as well. The kids get excited more about my songs because I wrote them instead of some stranger.
I love it and your voice is great! Thanks so much for sharing!
Love! Thank you so much for including the video! I think your voice is great and I am so tone deaf that hearing someone sing the song is the only way I would be able to manage singing this with my students.
Thanks!

I recently got a bluetooth speaker to use with my phone and started to use songs with our morning routines. WOW what a difference it has made. I expanded it to transitions with songs like Ron Brown's 'Doubles' and the kids love it. Transitions are smoother, and they are learning, so we aren't wasting that time. I love your tens frame song and will gladly add it to our day. Thank you for sharing. From one who can't sing a note,

We love Ron's 'Doubles' song, too. We also adore his grammar cd. All day, every day. It has the just-right songs for 1st graders!
