Six Representations of Numbers 1 – 20  

This set of 1 – 20 flashcards has multiple applications in foundation and year 1 classrooms. The resource contains six different visual representations of each of the numbers 1 – 20, promoting cognitive flexibility.

The number representations included are:

• numeral form
• word form
• MAB blocks
• tally marks
• fingers (numbers 1 – 10)
• sum of 10 and a number (numbers 11 – 20)
• ten frames

We recommend printing this resource on cardboard and then laminating the cards after cutting them apart for maximum longevity.

Multiple Representations, Multiple Uses

This versatile resource can be used in many ways. Here are a few of our favourite ideas!

• Memory Game – Mix the cards up face-down and have your students play a memory matching game with a few of the numbers.
• Go Fish! – Shuffle the cards and deal them equally to 2 – 4 players for a number representation version of a favourite card game.
• Top-it Game – Cards are dealt equally to players. Students flip over their top card and the student with the highest amount takes the hand.
• Number Hunt – Hide cards around the room and give each student a number card. Students hunt to find all the representations of their number.
• Number Sort – Pairs or groups of students sort the cards into stacks representing the same number.
