Hello, friends! Welcome to maths time. Let us count to nine together. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. What comes after nine? Ten! Today our number is ten.

Look at this big red number. This is ten. Say it with me. Ten!

Ten is a special number. Look closely. It is made of two numbers, a one and a zero, standing side by side. One and zero make ten.

Now look at the picture. We are in a pink ice-cream shop! There are jars of sweets on the shelves and a window with a stripy awning. And on the counter there is a stand full of ice creams. Yummy!

Let us count the top row. One, two, three, four, five. Now the bottom row. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ten ice creams! Five on top and five more underneath. Five and five more make ten.

Can you see the toppings? There is a red cherry, some blueberries, a big strawberry, colourful sprinkles and lots of chocolate. Which one would you choose?

Hold up your hands and open all your fingers. How many fingers do you have? Let us count. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ten fingers! One finger for each ice cream.

Ice cream melts when it is warm. So we must count quickly! Ready? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. We did it before it melted!

If you have a calculator, press one, then press zero. Look, you made ten! And you can make a stand for paper cones from a box with ten holes. Put one cone in each hole and count them.

Now it is time to write ten. Your teacher says start with a straight line from the top to the bottom. That is the one. Then next to it, draw a skinny letter O. That is the zero. One and zero. Ten!

Let us do it again. Straight line down. Skinny O. Ten!

When you trace ten in your book, start at the green dots and follow the arrows. Leave a little space between the one and the zero. At the top of that page there are ten ice creams for you to colour.

Then you will count the spots on some T-shirts and find the ones with ten spots. And follow the maze from ten to the dice with ten dots.

Let us remember what we learned today. The number ten is called ten.

Ten is made of a one and a zero. Ten comes after nine. Five and five more make ten. We have ten fingers.

Now let us count all the way from one to ten. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! You did it!

You were amazing today, friends! Wiggle your ten fingers and wave goodbye. Bye-bye!
