To support the children in their understanding of two digit numbers they will be bringing home two sheets of arrow cards this weekend. If you cut these out, the single digit numbers can be placed over the tens numbers to make two digit numbers if you line up the triangle at the end of the numbers. You could start by seeing if the children can name the numbers that they create or make a number that you give them. Then move on to asking if they can make a larger or smaller number. Make several numbers and put them in order. Constantly ask which is the tens digit and which is the ones. A sound knowledge of the value of numbers will mean that your child will latch onto concepts of addition and subtraction much more easily and have a deeper understanding of them.
