Friendly Numbers Fortune Teller

Here's another idea for testing/learning friendly numbers: a fortune teller!  I took the template from Downloadable Cootie Catchers, where there are lots of options but I decided to use a powerpoint template to create one for friendly numbers.  Here's how the Downloadable Cootie Catchers' template looks when blank:


As you can see from the friendly numbers fortune teller (opens as a google doc) I created, I've left in the instructions and link to the site just in case anyone wants to make their own.

PS- If you choose to download, please let me know: I'd love to find out if anyone ever ends up here :)

Friendly Numbers!

So what are "Friendly Numbers"? They are the numbers that go together to make up 10.  Sounds easy enough doesn't it?  Unless you're just starting to learn maths...

Then it can apparently be quite difficult!  This is something that I want to help Ziggy learn/revise so she can increase her confidence when studying maths.  And, after spending *way* too much time putting together these sheets, I thought I might save someone some time and put up mine.

I think the idea is to print out each "frame" of 10 squares and laminate it.  And then they can be used as flash-cards or maybe as a memory type game or anything to which you set your mind.

So, as you can see from the images below, 9 and 1 are friendly; 8 and 2 are friendly; etc.  







Here's a blank board in case you want to use pebbles or shells or whatever you can imagine to play a different game.

Finally, I created a poster based on something I heard was on Pinterest (sorry to original poster, I tried searching for an original source using google images, but couldn't find it).
