These clip cards are a great way for students to practice recognizing numbers to 20 including diennes (base ten) and ten frames. 40 cards are included; each card has three possible answers. Students select the correct answer by clipping a clothespin, peg or paper clip to it.
I like to laminate these cards so students can simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. This works great as a tough spot activity. Alternatively, you can print these on paper to hand out to your class at the end of the lesson; pupils circle the correct answer and hand in as a great exit ticket or plenary to the lesson.
