New Ways of Teaching
KP®Mathematics specializes in supporting teachers and their leaders as they reimagine mathematics teaching and learning in K-5 classrooms.
Our work centers on base-ten mathematics, featuring KP Ten-Frame Tiles

KP®Ten-Frame Tiles
KP®Ten-Frame Tiles is a system of ten-frame platforms and tiles through which students physically and visually experience the structure and applications of the base-10 number system.
Learn a Little More!
Watch the magic of KP®Ten-Frame Tiles unfold as five tiles on one ten-frame and three tiles on a second ten-frame combine to create a new look and a new entity — eight! Then, see the marvel of physically transforming ten ones into one group of ten when adding a one-digit number to a two-digit number.
