Matching number bonds to 20 activity cards
These matching number bonds to 20 activity cards are a simple and effective way to help Year 1 pupils improve recall and fluency with key number facts. Designed to support the White Rose small steps and National Curriculum expectations, they provide valuable practice in identifying number pairs that make 20.
Pupils match number bond pairs on bright, clearly laid out cards – ideal for use during small group work, independent learning stations or as part of a fluency rotation. The visual format helps children to quickly recognise number patterns, build confidence, and make connections between numbers.
Use these cards for quick-fire games, morning starters, retrieval practice or intervention support. They’re easy to prepare, reusable if laminated, and work well alongside other number bond activities in your maths planning.
A great resource to have on hand when reinforcing mental strategies and building number sense throughout the year. Can also be used as a fun homework activity to encourage fluency at home.
