What’s included?
This download includes two resources split across x3 portrait orientation, pdf pages. These resources have been designed to use together.

What’s it for?
This resource is a carrot themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 10. Learners match pairs of carrots which together make 10 (resource 1). Resource 2 (split across two pages) provides a space to record the number bond pairs once matched.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support.

Resource 1 - 'Carrot number bonds to 10’
This is one sheet of ‘carrot cards’ which need to be prepared prior to use - see details below. Print this page onto card.

Resource 2 - 'Carrot number bonds to 10 record sheet’
This is two sheets to record the matched number bonds to 10 on. Print page 2 onto card, page 1 is fine as paper.

Resource 1 details
An adult will need to prepare resource 1 prior to use.
This resource needs:

• plain A4 white card to print on (two sheets - page 1 of resource two can be printed onto paper)
• scissors
• a glue stick
• paper scorer
• ruler Prior to folding the carrots it is advisable to use a round metal (ball-head) paper scorer and a ruler to draw a scored line (where indicated in the centre of each carrot-pair) to make folding quicker, easier and more accurate.

How to Use This Resource
To begin, cut out and assemble the carrots from Resource 1. Place them on a table and shuffle them so learners can match each number bond pair, e.g. “10” with “0.”

If a learner is unsure of a match, they can flip the carrot over to see the answer on the back, promoting independent learning.

Next, have learners place their matched carrot pairs onto the outlines on Resource 2. They write the number bond on the provided line and then colour or check the corresponding number of tiny carrot outlines above each numeral. This visual check helps them confirm that each pair adds up to 10. The “Number Bonds to 10 checker” at the bottom provides extra support.
