Tell me about these Easter number puzzles
There are three sets of puzzles included in this pack, and each one is a little different.
Each set contains 20 Easter eggs each with a number from 1 to 20 on it.
Each egg is split into two parts. It has the number shown as a numeral on the top part of the egg, and the number shown in a different way in the bottom part of the egg
These puzzles are great for use with children in kindergarten and/or grade 1.
Although each set of Easter eggs contains a puzzle for numbers 1 to 20, you can always just use the puzzles for numbers to 10 to begin with (and save the teen numbers for another time).
Let’s look at each set of eggs…
Set 1 – Ten Frames
This first set will have your child matching a numeral to a ten frame picture.
Children should look at the ten frame pattern and then match to the numeral.
Set 2 – Addition and Subtraction
The second set of eggs is great for practising addition and subtraction within 10 (eggs 1 to 10) and within 20 (eggs 11 to 20).
Simply complete the addition or subtraction number sentence and find the correct egg.
Set 3 – Base Ten Blocks
The last set of puzzles is useful for children just starting out with the idea of place value.
These eggs show numbers broken down into their tens and ones using base ten blocks.
Work out the number shown by the blocks and then find the matching numeral.
There are 60 eggs included altogether (10 ten frame eggs, 10 addition/subtraction eggs, and 10 base ten block eggs).
Each puzzle is also included in a black ink only version if you want to avoid colour printing.
