Flip flops are an excellent aid for the mental maths part of the daily maths lesson. Easyteach have developed these bright colourful aids to keep the children interested and motivated. The elephants are especially designed for reception to encourage counting to ten in ones and number bonds to 10. Teacher flip flops are made of durable laminated card, pre-scored for easy folding.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING FLIP FLOPS

Flip Flops are laminated, scored cards that are fun to use in the mental maths part of the daily numeracy lesson.  They are bright and colourful to help keep interest and motivation. 

 The blue elephants are designed to help Reception and Year 1 children count to 10 and learn number bonds to 10.  Trainers help with multiples of 2 and counting in 2’s, Fingers help with multiples of 5 and counting in 5’s, Toes help with multiples of 10 and counting in 10’s. 

 They are pre scored to allow the teacher to fold or ‘flip’ the card over hiding some pictures, encouraging the children to use mental strategies and number bonds to play quick stimulating mental maths games.

 With the elephant cards for instance, let your reception class count the elephants with you.  When they are sure there are 10, no more or less, you can then play a game. 

 Folding the card once along any scored line, hide some elephants by flipping them out of sight of the children.

 Then ask the children to count how many they can see now – for instance if they can see 6 how many are hiding? Answer 4, because 6 and 4 are 10.

 Every scored line where the Flip Flop can fold shows a different number bond to 10  eg;  1 + 9, 2 + 8, 3 + 7, 5 + 5 and 4 + 6

 Using this simple game the teacher can use questioning and reinforcement to help young children learn their number bonds to 10.
