Purpose:
You can help your child to learn the addition pairs to 20.
What you need:
Test Cards (PDF, 37KB) You can print these or make your own.
What to do:
Print out the cards and glue them to light cardboard. Cut out the cards along the solid lines and fold along the dotted lines. The folded part is used to cover the answer.
Only fold back the card to see if your answer is right.
Practise with a few cards at a time.
What to expect your child to do:
- To recognise that they can use their facts to 10 to help learn pairs to 20.
- Instantly recall the pairs to 20.
Variation:
- Your child can make two piles of cards of ones they know and ones they are still learning. Store the cards in two separate containers.
- Ask your child the questions orally.
- You can cover the cards with clear 'coverseal' sports that you can use felt pens to write in the answers and then wipe them clean to use again.
- Use your home language to do this activity with your children.
