Count Beyond 10 – Matching Teen Numbers
Help children count beyond 10 and explore the composition of teen numbers with this versatile number representations resource. Children match number cards with different representations, helping them connect numerals and quantities. Use the cards for matching activities, number tracks, tuff tray activities or maths book work. Ideal for Early Years and KS1.
Description
Support children to develop their understanding of numbers beyond 10 with this versatile number representations resource. Each number is shown in a variety of different ways, helping children recognise the quantity, explore the composition of teen numbers and develop confidence with counting beyond 10.
The different representations encourage children to make connections between numerals and quantities rather than simply recognising a number by sight. This provides valuable opportunities to explore how teen numbers are composed and to develop children’s early number sense.
The resource can be used in a variety of ways, making it suitable for Early Years and KS1 maths, whole-class teaching, small-group activities, independent learning, continuous provision or practical maths activities.
For a hands-on matching activity, laminate the sheets and cut them into individual sections. Children can then match each number card with its different representations. This could be used as an independent maths activity or placed in a tuff tray alongside practical resources, allowing children to build the different representations themselves using counters or other manipulatives.
The cards can also be used to:
Build a number track
Match numerals to different representations
Explore the composition of numbers 11–20
Practise counting beyond 10
Develop number recognition
Match quantities with numerals
Create a practical maths activity in a tuff tray
Support discussion about how numbers are made
Stick matching representations into maths books as a recording activity
Using multiple representations helps children develop a deeper understanding of number and encourages them to recognise that the same number can be represented in different ways.
This flexible teen numbers maths resource is ideal for revisiting and reinforcing counting beyond 10, number composition and early place value. It can be adapted to suit different learning environments and provides plenty of opportunities for children to explore numbers practically and visually.
