Description
Support your students in building fluency with number bonds to ten with the Treasured Tens Friends of Ten Worksheet! Mastering Friends of Ten is a key skill for young learners, helping to build efficiency, confidence, and flexibility in mental maths - and providing an essential foundation for success across all mathematical operations in primary school.
In this fun and interactive worksheet, students take on the role of treasure hunters! They are asked to carefully examine each treasure item and colour in only those that represent a Friends of Ten sum. Sums that do not equal ten are left blank. This task encourages careful thinking, number sense, and accuracy while providing a playful way to practise and reinforce number bonds to ten.
The Treasured Tens Friends of Ten Worksheet is part of our comprehensive Friends of Ten Worksheet Package and offers an exciting twist on fluency practise. You can also pair it with our Friends of Ten Apple Picking, Friends of Ten Puppet Show, Friends of Ten Shop with Mr Bog, and Friends of Ten Race to the Sky interactive games to create a well-rounded fluency program.
