Pancake Day Number Bonds to 10

A simple interactive maths game, designed in Powerpoint to support children’s understanding of number bonds to 10, with the theme of Pancake Day. Children count the number of pancakes presented in each ten-frame and click the matching numeral on the number track. This IWB game activity works well as part of whole class teaching and learning. Next, children are asked to say how many more pancakes would make 10 altogether. Children/teacher/TA click on the matching numeral on the number track to show how many more pancakes would make 10. The missing pancakes float in to the ten-frame and the number bond card is shown (for example, 3 and 7 make 10). All number bonds to 10 are presented in the slides.

This resources also includes ten-frame templates and number cards from 1 to 10 showing different arrangements of pancakes from 1 to 10. These cards are ideal for printing off, laminating and using as part of whole class provision to build children’s fluency with number bonds to 10.
