Vegetable Number Cards

These vegetable themed number cards are perfect for students who are learning with a food theme. They make the perfect tool for students to learn numbers up to 20.

What is Included:

This set includes one number card and one number word card for all numbers up to 20.

Ideas for Using the Number Cards:

• Invite students to play a matching activity by pairing each number with its corresponding number word.

• Turn the cards into a hands on fishing game by attaching paper clips and using a magnetic fishing rod for students to “catch” the numbers.

• Place the cards in a sand or salt tray so students can trace or write the numbers and number words for tactile practice.

• Hide the cards around the classroom and have students go on a number scavenger hunt to find and identify each one.

• Challenge students to arrange the cards in correct numerical order, working independently or as a group.

• Use a pocket chart to create a guessing game by placing the cards in the chart and hiding a picture behind one number. Students take turns guessing which number is hiding the picture.

• Add small manipulatives (such as counters, cubes, or pom-poms) and have students count objects to match the number shown on each card.

When to Use:

• Maths Centres – Add the number cards to a maths centre for students to practise matching independently or with a partner.

• Morning Tubs or Baskets – Place the number cards in a morning bin for students to work on as classmates arrive.

• Small Group Instruction – Use the number cards during small group time to provide extra support for students who need additional practice recognising numbers and number words.
