29 pages of Year 1 activities for teaching, practising and applying knowledge of counting forwards and backwards to 100. The learning journey allows for plenty of practice and consolidation to build fluency and understanding, beginning with numbers to 10 then 20 and finally 100. The activities provide opportunities for straightforward skills practise as well as reasoning and problem-solving.

Children create their own A5-sized 2D shape fact file. They cut out the shape headings, matching shape image and description from the muddled up shapes document and stick it onto blank A4 paper, folded in half. Finally, put all the pages together with the cover pages to create the shape fact file and write a blurb for the back. I originally created this as an independent task for my more able Year 3’s but this would also suit Year 4 children and as revision for upper KS2. Included in this resource: - Fact file front and back cover pages - Muddled up 2D shapes document National curriculum references: - recognise angles as a property of shape - identify right angles, identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle - identify pairs of perpendicular lines - compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes - identify acute and obtuse angles

A third column is for assessor&'s notes and pupil&';s responses as evidence for levelling.

#backtoschool Wake up your pupils’ brains with these back to school addition and subtraction challenge cards! These calculations challenge your pupils’ understanding, ability to reason mathematically and algebraic thinking in a fun and engaging way. Using images to represent numbers, children use what they know to discover the value of the images. They need to understand the meaning of =, + and - signs and the relationship between addition and subtraction. The calculations include doubles and number bonds to 10 and 20. There are 4 sets of progressively more difficult calculations, as well as 4 sets with the numbers given in an answer key for children requiring more support. There are two open-ended calculations where children can find multiple possible answers to extend their thinking. Further extensions include children writing their own challenges or describing how they solved the problem. Happy teaching!

Three pages of differentiated, pirate-themed addition and subtraction word problems (one step only). When I use these, I cut them up or get the children to cut them up and stick them in individually, which allows space to show their working and avoids pages full of worksheets glued in. Each page makes specific reference to the 2013 National Curriculum Key Stage 1 Mathematics programme of study (Year 2 expectations): Pupils should be taught to add and subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations, and mentally, including:  - a two-digit number and ones  - a two-digit number and tens  - two two-digit numbers 

Based on the 2016 interim assessment framework for KS1 mathematics, this form provides additional evidencing of the Working Towards criteria for maths. Useful for children who struggle to record their knowledge.

Three differentiated 'Seaside Snack Shack' menus for addition and subtraction work as well as one-step problem solving involving addition and subtraction, including missing number problems. The three menus cover objectives as follows: Menu 1 - - use number bonds within 10. Menu 2 - - use number bonds within 20 - add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including 0. Menu 3 - - solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = ? - 9.

Practise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s with these fun Easter puzzles! Perfect for Year 1 and revision in Year 2. The pictures help children to access the activity independently. I encouraged my pupils to work systematically, looking for the lowest multiple and working up because those that didn’t were more prone to making errors. I thought they would walk this activity but there was enough challenge in there to keep them interested and engaged. Spotting errors was a good way to check their understanding. There are six puzzles in total with the following multiples: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80

Solve the code to reveal the shape names and match them to the correct shape. Perfect for Key Stage 1/lower Key Stage 2 revision of common 2D and 3D shape recognition and naming. There is an answer key included so that children can mark their own work if desired. I recently printed pages 2 and 3 of the file double-sided and used it as an end of term activity with my Year 1s - it kept them very quiet! It could also be used as a back to school baseline activity or to provide AfL information when you are about to teach a unit on shape. Shapes included on the worksheet are: 2D - circle, square, rectangle, pentagon, triangle, hexagon 3D - cube, sphere, pyramid, cuboid, cylinder, cone

This Year 1 unit of maths work is for early on in Year 1. The learning journey focuses on learning to read and write the numbers 1 - 10 in numerals and words as well as counting to 30 forwards and backwards. These numbers are lower than the end of year (EOY) expectations for Year 1 but activities can easily be extended for more able pupils or if you are teaching this unit later in the year. NC objectives covered: • Count to and across 30 (EOY = 100), forward s and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1 or from any given number. • Count, read and write numbers to 50 in numerals. • Read and write numbers from 1-10 (EOY = 1-20) This unit includes: - a unit of work overview - an entry/exit pass for AfL - number frames and number cards (pupils pick a card and dot in the number frames) - editable pom-pom serving game (group game: pupils pick a card, 'waiter' has to serve the correct number and colour of pom-poms - use tweezers for fine motor skill practise!) - roll and write recording frame - shape investigation - shapes and instructions - rainbow spelling sheet - 1 - 10 in words bookmarks

38 pages of Year 1 place value activities informed by the White Rose mastery document. The pages progress through concrete, pictorial and abstract activities and a teach, practise, apply approach. There are opportunities to practise with smaller numbers (0-10) and also larger numbers up to 100. A set of loop cards is included which need to be printed double-sided and cut out, as well as cards for a paired activity and plenty of worksheets. Personally, I cut out strips or blocks of the sheet to stick in the child’s book so that their books aren’t full of worksheets and/or half finished work.
