Ten in the Bed 

Description

Packed full of mathematical learning potential, this versatile, double-sided number line is perfect for developing a secure understanding of numbers one to ten. This more advanced resource has one long base slot, encouraging children to estimate spatially, to order the bears. Children will enjoy playfully learning as they match the bears’ numerals to the dot patterns on the duvet.

By using the unmarked sides and the delightful details on the bears, children will be encouraged to explore number bonds and spot and create repeating patterns using the bears’ arm positions, fur and pyjama colours, nose and ear shapes!

Children will enjoy acting out the popular song Ten in the Bed and making the bears roll out of bed!  Guidance and activity ideas written by early years maths specialist Dr Cath Gripton are
