This numeracy teaching pack for the Foundation Stage gets the children to play a range of maths games to practise counting and adding pairs of different numbers with matching sums to five, ten and twenty.

The class can explain and model how to use concrete equipment to support their addition calculations when calculating each matching number sum to five, ten and twenty to try and win the games.

Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to play a range of maths games to practise counting and adding pairs of different numbers with matching sums to five, ten and twenty

Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated worksheets and sets of cards to play games to identify the matching pairs of numbers that make sums to five for support ability levels, to ten for core ability levels and to twenty for extension ability when using addition number sentences.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to play games to practise counting and adding pairs of numbers with sums to five, ten and twenty.

This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to identify and model some of the skills and techniques that can be used when adding pairs of numbers by playing different games. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
