Roller Coaster Ten-Frame Game

The chart below tells how to load the roller coaster car.

Begin with Ticket A and move in order to Ticket D. Fill the Ten-Frame roller coaster car beginning with the top row, moving left to right. When the top row is full, go to the bottom row and fill it from left to right.

  1. Have your child place the number of “riders” (small objects) listed on the ticket into the “roller coaster car.” There should be one rider in each seat (egg hole). Count the riders.
  2. Repeat for each ticket. Each time, load riders and count all those on board.
  3. When the riders on all four tickets have been loaded, count to be sure there are exactly ten passengers.
