Number bonds of proportional size (1-10)

An easy resource to learn and play with to develop early numeracy skills.

Numbers whose height is proportional to their value. For example, two ‘fives’ are the height of one ‘ten’. Can be used to develop understanding of size and amount as well as being a tool to develop understanding of number bonds.

The figures also have dots on which are equivalent to their value, so support development of understanding of value and amount. Also helps to develop the skill of subitising.

How to use:

1. Print out (on plain or coloured paper/card)
2. Cut around the rectangular shape
3. Use like this - Can be used to create matching patterns, can be coloured in or drawn on.
4. Alternatively laminate for longevity.
5. When laminated can also be used as a wipe clean writing tool.
6. Create challenges eg Can you choose numbers which when added together are the same height as the number 10?
