About Ten Frames
Ten Frames — math with smiles Educational math app for children aged 4–7, built around the Ten Frames method. Short, cheerful sessions a child can play independently — no reading required. About the method: Ten Frames is a foundational visual learning tool — a simple frame of 10 cells used to teach early number sense. The method itself is included in mathematics curricula around the world. Children learn to instantly recognize quantities through visual grouping: a filled row is always 5, a full frame is always 10. These benchmarks become anchors for all future mental math. The result: stronger number sense, faster mental arithmetic, less math anxiety. What it covers: • Counting to 10 • Addition and subtraction within 10 • Pairs that make 10 • Doubles • Fair sharing • Visual memory • 9 Adventure worlds, 82 levels Made for little learners: • A level is 5 problems and runs 2–4 minutes — a full session fits before dinner • Voice narration in English, Romanian and German, so children who cannot read yet play on their own • 10 visual themes children choose themselves (Space, Ocean, Forest, Farm, Candy, Unicorn, Pixel, Slime, K-Pop, Monsters) • 36 stickers and 14 achievements keep effort rewarded, never punished — a wrong answer costs nothing • A parent dashboard to follow stars, streaks and progress Made for parents: • No accounts and no sign-up — hand your child the iPad and they start • Nothing leaves the device. Progress is stored locally, and the app works fully offline • No analytics, no ads, no tracking, no links out of the app • Free to start: counting play is free forever, with free daily problems in every practice mode • One single purchase unlocks everything — every world, mode and theme. No subscription, ever Available in English, Romanian and German.
What’s new
Version 1.7.2 · Updated September 25, 2026
Two new games: "How Many?" and "How Many Left?" — the frame comes ready-made, and your child reads it and names the number. The Race: 35 seconds of quick answers, with a voice and your own record to beat. Progress you can see: a colored bar shows the way to the next step. The games bar is now a drawer you pull up. Number Town has two new, harder islands.
