Making Ten Clip Cards


Children learning their numbers to ten will definitely benefit from this activity. They will first count the number of suns on each card, then add on (on their fingers) how many more numbers to make ten. They clip the number to show this on the card and then they make enough playdough balls and place them on the card. 

Supplies Needed:



To Play
  • Students will be working on their cards in a group. They take one card and count the suns on that card.
  • They then count on to figure out how many more 'suns' they will need to make a total of ten 'suns.'
  • Once they figure out that number, they then clip the correct number shown on the card.
  • Then then make playdough balls on the cards to show how many more suns they need.
  • I usually check their work as I go around the class.
  • This fun activity can be repeated for practice!
