Purpose:
The purpose of this activity is to help your child to recognise the teen numbers as “ten and ..”.
What you need:
- Set of "Ten and " Cards (PDF, 29KB). You can print these or make your own.
- 2 players
What to do:
Cut out the cards. Deal eight cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down in a pile – the Pick up pile.
Players look for pairs of cards that match and place them face up in the middle. For example any two of these cards can make a pair:
Players then take turns to add cards to the pairs displayed faced up.
Players may place new pairs of cards on the table. If a player does not have a card to add to a pair, they take a card from the pick up pile.
The winner is the first to place all their cards.
What to expect your child to do:
To be able to recognise teen numbers written as numerals, 10 + facts, and as dot arrays.
Variation:
- Use the cards to play Snap or Memory.
- Use your home languages to play this game.

He Whakawhitinga Kōrero:
- Tohaina kia waru ngā kāri ki ia tangata. (Deal out 8 cards to each person.)
- Whakaputua ngā toenga kāri, ko ngā mata ki raro. (Put the left over cards face down in a pile.)
- Māu e tīmata. Kei a koe ētahi kāri takirua, takitoru rānei, he ōrite te tau e whakaaturia ana? (You start. Have you got any pairs or triples which all show the same number?)
- Whakatakotoria ērā ki waenganui, ko ngā mata ki runga. (Put those down in the middle, face up.)
- He ōrite te tau e whakaaturia ana i ēnei kāri. (The number shown on each of these cards is the same.)
- Kei a koe tētahi kāri e whakaatu ana i te tau ōrite ki tētahi o ngā takirua e takoto mai ana? (Do you have a card showing the same number as one of the pairs laying here?)
- Kāore i ahau ētahi takirua, takitoru rānei. (I don’t have any pairs or triples.)
- Tangohia tētahi anō kāri i te putunga kāri. (Take another card from the pile.)
- Ko te tangata tuatahi ki te whakatakoto i ana kāri katoa, ko ia te toa. (The first player to lay down all of their cards is the winner.)
