St. Patrick’s Ten Frames 03

Description

This seasonal Maths resource is aimed at junior or SEN pupils who are working on early number. The resource is St. Patrick’s-themed and features a leprechaun character with lucky charms images for pupils to count.

Cut up the sheets into 11 separate cards and laminate the cards individually. The pupil has to count the number of lucky charms at the top of the page, find the correct number at the bottom of the page and attach a clothes peg to that number.

This activity is especially suitable for pupils who may be good at counting but may not be able to record numbers. This resource could be used as an independent task or a task with adult support.

This resource would also be suitable for a group of pupils during Maths Station Teaching, where a pack is made for each pupil in the group.

This resource 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. Pupils also considered it as “fun” homework during March.
