• Past about five objects most students have to count rather than just see how many, so watch how they do it: touching or moving each one as they say the number is what stops an object being counted twice or missed altogether.
• The card carries no numeral and no label, so the same picture works as a counting task, as a "write the numeral" task, or as a quick check of whether a student can count a set reliably and say how many without recounting.
• 10 is even, so this set can be shared equally between two: 10 ÷ 2 = 5 each, with none left over.
• 10 is one full ten, which is why ten frames, bundles of ten and the base-ten blocks are all built around it: the next number starts a new ten.
