In this activity, children match the numbers 0-20 by 'fishing' for cards using a magnetic rod. Each number is represented in 4 ways - numeral, number word, ten frame and dot pattern or tens blocks.

To prepare this resource, print the number cards and add a magnetic paper clip to each. Children use a magnet on a piece of string to go fishing for a card which they then match to bucket showing the same number. You could also use the cards in math small groups for sorting, ordering or matching.

Six bonus worksheets are included for students to record their learning:

*Cut & paste to match number words to numerals (0-10 and 11-20)

*Write numerals to match ten frames (0-10 and 11-20)

*Draw lines to match dot (0-10) or block patterns (11-20) with numerals.
