- In the upper section learners are to match the number bonds by drawing a line connecting each pair of numbers which make 5. Learners should use the dots provided to begin and end the connecting line between the number bond pairs. These dots can be found as ‘door handle dots’ (on the door of each house) and ‘black dots’ on each ‘moving van’ (positioned above the number).
Learners are supported when completing the upper section of this resource as ‘moving boxes’ are provided which learners can count to check.
- In the lower section learners draw a line to match the number on the taxi with the number on the taxi rank sign which (together) make a total of five.
Learners are not supported when completing the lower section of this resource as counting objects (to check which pairs total five) are not provided.
Completing this section relies on learners having knowledge to match the pairs. However, for learners who need this support - objects (e.g. x5 miniature cars/small cubes) could be available.
