Peg Which Is The Smallest 06
This resource is aimed at pupils in middle classes or SEN pupils. It is based on reinforcing the concept of hundreds, tens and units. The pack contains 20 cards: on the right hand side of each card are four numbers – the hundreds and tens are the same, only the units are different. This may make it trickier for the pupil to identify the smallest number. The pupil has to use a clothes peg to indicate which they think is the smallest of the four numbers.
