Addition to 10

Description

This resource is aimed at infant or SEN pupils at the beginning of work on numeracy. It is based on the addition of three numbers up to 10.

Cut up the pages into sixteen cards and laminate all of them individually. Pupils should add the three numbers that the boy is holding on the left side of each card and place a clothes peg on the correct answer on the right side of the card. Concrete materials or a number line could be used if needed.

This activity is especially suitable for pupils who may not be able to write numbers but can count. It is a way for them to demonstrate their understanding of addition. It is also good for fine motor skills in the manipulation of the pegs onto the cards.

We frequently gave activities such as this for homework to our SEN pupils. It gave them the sense that they had homework like everyone else and it also allowed the parents to see what Maths topic we were currently working on.
