Expanded Form Clip Cards (2, 3 and 4 digit)

Kids love clip cards and they are so easy to prep. These cards make the perfect independent maths centre because they are self correcting (when you print them back to back). Students can easily see if they are getting it right – even better, at a quick glance, you can see too!

Need to differentiate? You can these cards in 2 digit numbers, 3 digit numbers and 4 digit numbers or a DISCOUNT bundle of all 3.

Want to make it even easier? Grab the Take Home Kit posted to you with all three sets premade and 15 cute ladybug pegs!

Hot tip: I only put 4 or 5 pegs out with a set. If I put out 1 peg per card, students often do all the cards without checking they are doing it right. By only putting out 4 or 5 pegs it makes them check those before doing more, so if they are getting it wrong, they know to check what they are doing or ask for help.
