These are peg boards. You can print these out, laminate them but you need some pegs with numbers 1-10 to compliment this resource. The children should indicate which number is missing by placing the right numbered peg on top of Big Tum. These were made to go a long side the Powerpoint versions/games I created to place on the interactive whiteboard, so the children have two independent games they can get on with while I was leading a guided group activity.

When young children learn new concepts, it is vital that they use real objects in order to ‘play with the maths’ and this will be able them to visualise it once they are familiar with the new concepts. These resources created will compliment this work using pictorial resources in a combination of ways. Half of these contain a peg board format, which means the child has to place a peg on the right answer. This helps with fine motor skills, which in turn will aid mark making skills. The bonus here is an A3 version of the addition stories, where children can use objects of their own to create a story like shown in the examples.
