You will need• Card Numicon Shapes 1–10
• Scissors
During the activity, look at what your child can do
• Make their own equal value number sentences, e.g. 7 + 3 = 4 + 6.
What to do• Cut out the domino cards and the train from the
Train Dominoes sheet.
• Explain that the dominoes need to be loaded on to the train in the correct order, so that the number sentences match up along the train.
• Take turns to add a load to the train, making sure that the number sentences on the dominoes match up correctly. 1 Your child may wish to use their card Numicon Shapes to check their ideas.
• When the train is full, ask your child to draw two more carriages and work out some loads of their own that could be added.
Next steps…
• Talk about using different coins to make the same amount with your child. Look at a range of coins and give them the chance to try to make totals in different ways, e.g. making 10 p with 5 p + 5 p, or 5 p + 2 p + 2 p + 1 p.
• Find two card Numicon Shapes that together total 10 or less. Put them on the table and ask your child to find two other Shapes that will equal them.
