What’s included? This download includes x9 pdf pages, each featuring x10 robots (x3 black and white versions, x3 black and white with rainbow coloured dots versions and x3 rainbow (coloured) versions). All are in portrait orientation. What’s it for? These resources can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 10. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten robots with ten recap questions at the end. Each robot’s chest clearly shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order/random order up to 10. Learners complete the other half (of each double) by drawing ‘dots’ e.g. with a thick felt pen onto the space on the right side of each robot’s chest. Learners then write the total number of dots on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’ The robots and questions are both in order and random order - you choose which to use depending on what best suits the needs of your learner/s. Size 16/17 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the text easy to read and clearly models the process of doubling numbers to 10 to young learners. The x10 recap questions at the end enable learners to consolidate their ‘doubles knowledge’. In two of the colour version sheets the ‘outline colour’ of each ‘question box’ matches the robot colour - providing a visual link for the learner to check back to each corresponding robot, if needed, before committing to writing answers in the question boxes at the end. There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 30, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Smarties included! Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Smarties’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one tube of Smarties - each learner will need a tube each! Learners could be given a real tube with either real or ‘paper/cardboard Smarties’ inside. See attachment included to cut out and give your learners a random selection of paper Smarties instead. I have found tubes of Smarties have an average of x30 Smarties per tube but if you are giving learners paper/cardboard Smarties this really can be any number of course to fit their ability. The maximum number of one colour of Smarties which will fit on to the bar chart is 12. Page 1 Learners are to sort the Smarties in the tube into x8 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and brown). Learners then count the number of Smarties in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each colour group of Smarties. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 Smarties (for each colour group). Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same tube/number of Smarties. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting objects, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Skittles included! Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Skittles’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one random amount (portion) of Skittles - each learner will need their own portion. Learners could be given a real Skittles or ‘paper/cardboard Skittles’. On the bar chart there is space for up to x24 Skittles of one colour so the amount of Skittles given to learners can be any number to fit their ability, however no more than x24 of any one colour group if you intend for learners to use the bar chart (pages 3/5). Page 1 Learners are to sort their portion of Skittles into x5 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green and purple). Learners then count the number of Skittles in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘colour’ boxes for each colour group of Skittles. Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same number (portion) of Skittles. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for 3D shapes and related words (page 1) and the answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2) in colour. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners, especially pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? Knowing these 3D shape names (and related words) is an important part of maths throughout school and in the wider world. This word search makes the spellings clear and introduces/reinforces shape related vocabulary. Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The 3D shape names (and related words) have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden ‘shape words’ below the word search. There are x16 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (backwards not forwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally. Words to find are base, face, edge, flat, curved, round, sphere, cone, cube, cuboid, prism, cylinder, pyramid, straight, vertex, hemisphere. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words, enabling all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible in order to find all hidden words. If words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Useful for… I find word searches like this are ideal for ‘quiet times’ during the day. Word searches are also ideal as an introduction to a topic, follow on activity for early finishers, a fun approach to a topic themed and as an engaging homework task - supporting reading, spelling and maths.

What’s included? A set of x13 sheets, portrait orientation, colour pdf format. x6 colours (x2 sheets per learner) Colours include x2 red, x2 orange, x2 yellow, x2 green, x2 turquoise, x2 blue and one B&W ‘answers’ sheet. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to give learners an opportunity to explore more closely the position and relationship of numbers to 100 within a hundred number square. There is a 100 number square jigsaw puzzle to cut out (x12 pieces in total) and assemble and some ‘missing numbers’ to fill out, following on from completing the jigsaw puzzle. I have included x6 sets in different colliers to avoid learners getting their jigsaw pieces muddled up when cutting them out and assembling their jigsaw puzzles. How to use it? Each learner is to be given two sheets in the same colour, e.g. one learner has the two red sheets, another learner has the two orange sheets, etc. Page 1. The first page is a ’board’ for the 100 number square jigsaw puzzle pieces to be positioned and then stuck on to. Once this has been completed learners can fill out the missing numbers at the base of this sheet. There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of the sheet and a space to record the number date (top, right). To complete this activity learners will need: a pair of scissors a glue stick a pencil Page 2. This page clearly displays all twelve ‘jigsaw’ pieces for the 100 number square jigsaw puzzle. Learners are to cut around each shape - dotted lines guide where to cut and assemble these pieces on the large white square at the top, centre of page 1. Last page 13. Answers, clearly displayed. The complete 100 number square is at the top, centre and the missing numbers (completed) at the base of the sheet. This has been designed for learners to access and cross-check themselves once they have completed the activity, encouraging autonomy.

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets which make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Various vehicles to count and numerals/word number names from 1 to 20 to match). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is to practise counting up to 20 items (vehicles) and match the total number with the correct numeral/number name word label. How to use this resource This matching activity set has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each image card and count the number of vehicles before matching the picture to the numeral/number name card to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs learners can order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. Once complete the cards can be threaded back together using the hole (top left of each card). The squares are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (using sticky Velcro would assist with easy opening). Once attached the numeral cards (like number fans) can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. The cards could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. Games This ‘number match’ set could also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the vehicle cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small amount of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

What’s included? This download includes x7 A4, portrait pdf 2D shape sheets featuring x36 matching cards. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resources is to name, count (the sides of) and match 2D shapes to the correct word label. There are x4 ‘answer cards’ included in the set which clearly list the pairs of shapes (pictures and names) on page 4. Learners could use these to help them match the cards or refer to them after they have completed the matching activity, encouraging autonomy. How to use this resource This matching activity has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each 2D shape image and (if they are able) name this. Learners can also count the number of sides of each shape and match the picture to the name label to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs (images and labels together) learners can then order the pairs from the least number of sides to the most (or vice versa!) 2D shapes included are oval, ellipse, semi circle, circle, triangle, equilateral triangle, right-angled triangle, square, rectangle, trapezium, parallelogram, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon. This 2D shape matching set could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help remember the number of sides and/or cross-check the name/spelling of individual shapes if unsure when writing these down. This ‘shape match’ set could also be used for a variety of ways, both inside and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the 2D shape pictures cards or all the name label cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up.

What’s included? Two resources (to be used together) are included to download, both in portrait orientation, pdf format. There are x7 sheets of ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ (x7 colours) and x7 matching ‘Counting in 10’s Matching boards’ to position the cards on in order and to count. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as older students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable as a challenge for some early years aged children. What is it? This is a simple activity which can be used by pupils on their own (as an independent group activity) or as a game for up to 7 players. This activity/game can be used/played in various ways to practise and reinforce counting in 10’s to 100. The simple, clear instructions are included on the cards and boards. Resource Details ’Counting in 10’s cards’ There are x7 different coloured sets of cards, these include red, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and grey. ‘Ways to use these cards’ are included on each sheet. The cards can be cut out and used to practise ‘counting in 10’s’. The 10’s numbers on the cards are Size 50 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font making the numbers easy to read and the simple layout with ten fingers featured on every card make counting in 10’s visually clear to learners. ’Counting in 10’s - Matching boards’ There are x7 different coloured ‘matching boards’ which have been designed to pair up with the sets of ‘Counting in 10’s cards’. Colours included match the cards and are red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink and grey. Game instructions are included on each board. Games to play The cards could be used in a variety of ways. Below are some suggestions… Reveal, order, count The cards can be sorted into colours and shuffled. Each player has one coloured set. Cards are placed face-down in a grid (in the centre of players) and players take turns to turn over one card. If a player reveals their own colour that card is kept. The winner is the first player to collect all x10 cards in their colour set and position these in the correct order from 10 to 100. This game can be played with/without the ‘matching boards’. Treasure hunt These cards could be used for a coloured ‘treasure hunt’ where one set of cards is hidden within a specified area for learners to find. Learners then order the cards to 100 (once all colours in the set have been found).

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Rainbow Dots to count and numerals from 1 to 20 to match). How to use this resource These square cards are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (maybe fastened with velcro for easy opening). The numeral cards (like number fans) can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. However these have been designed to be a counting activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring (shuffled or in order). Learners then count the rainbow dots on each card and find the matching numeral (or vice versa!). Once complete (or ‘as they go’ if working ‘in order’) learners can then order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. These could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing.

What’s included? x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the various lines of symmetry within x8 2D shapes. This investigation can be done by cutting/folding (ideally first) then recording these finding by drawing the lines of symmetry (using a ruler) onto the shapes on the sheet. Black and white AND colour versions of both sheets (cut/fold, drawing lines versions) included. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support. This resource may also be suitable for children in EYFS although with younger ages it would probably be a good idea to upscale the sheets to a larger size (on a photocopier/scanner) first. How to use it? The learner can explore lines of symmetry in two ways, either using a pencil and ruler or cutting out the shapes and folding them to investigate the lines of symmetry. Suggestion I would encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry within these 2D shapes by first cutting out the shapes (using the colour/black and white version designed for this - see pages 3 and 4). Once pupils have investigated these by folding they could then use pages 1/2 (colour/black and white) to record their findings with a pencil and ruler. Using safety mirrors along side cutting and folding AND when recording the ‘answers’ (using a pencil and ruler) will really help pupils to become clear and accurate in their mind as to whether they have found the line of symmetry. Important… Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line ‘through’ this centre point in order to be accurate in their findings. Answers are included on a separate page in the same format which learners could use for quick, easy reference. Resource Details lines of symmetry (or recording ‘answers after investigation) using a pencil and ruler in colour (page 3) and black and white (page 4). Pupils will need a pencil and a ruler each. *Investigating lines of symmetry by folding. x8 2D shapes will need cutting out (these could be pre-cut for pupils who find cutting out challenging). Pale grey, dotted ‘cutting out guidelines’ are included. Pupils will need a pencil (to ensure their write their name on their cut-out shapes!) and a pair of scissors each. 2D shapes included are right angled triangle, equilateral triangle, heart, circle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.

What’s included? This download includes six pages (x6 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for number names from ‘one’ to ‘twenty’ (page 1) and the answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2). The wordsearch letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young readers especially pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Knowing these number names (words) is also an important part of maths in these year groups as questions and information often includes the number name as the written word (e.g. ‘three’) instead of the more easily recognisable numeral (e.g. ‘3’). Resource layout The twenty number name words have been organised into four groups of five, clearly showing all hidden number words in order up to twenty. There are x20 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (up and down - both directions). Directional arrows on the answer sheet (page 2) make it clear exactly where to look if learners get stuck. The version of this word search which includes numerals is ideal for those learners either needing the additional support of having the numeral AND the number name shown together. For learners who would like an extra challenge, the numerals from 1 - 20 are all also hidden within the wordsearch. Once the learner has located each of these they could be circled on the wordsearch and ticked off in the box below. The numerals have been included in a variety of font styles to encourage learners to get used to recognising numerals written differently. On the colour/black and white versions of the word search there is a space in the four boxes (under the wordsearch where the hidden words are displayed) for learners to write the numerals next to the number names themselves. On all versions of this word search there is a space for learners to write their name (at the base of the sheet) and to record the number date (top, left). Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible - if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused, or the black and white version is a good version for photocopying.

What’s included? This pdf download includes sixteen (rainbow themed) ‘number bonds to 5/10/20’ pages, all presented in portrait orientation. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Reception, Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? To practise recalling number bonds to 5/10/20 facts as well as providing the opportunity to identify number ‘patterns’ which are helpful in identifying missing numbers in a sequence. Resource layout The simple lay out of each number bonds sum is an easy to use resource. Numbers can be written on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) in the blank box covering the missing numbers in each number bond. The large size 35/50 ‘Avenir’ font makes the numbers and + sign easy to read and models the addition ‘pattern’ in a clear layout to learners. Resource 1 - in order x2 pages includes number bonds (to 5/10/20) questions to complete in ‘order’, with answers. Page 1 has been designed to be a ‘cut and stick’ missing numbers activity, however missing numbers can be written in the empty boxes instead, either works. The answers are clearly presented in the same layout on page 2. Page 2 could be used as a reference resource for display Resource 2 - in random order x2 pages includes number bonds (to 5/10/20)questions to complete in ‘random order’, with answers. Page 1 has been designed to be a ‘cut and stick’ missing numbers activity, however missing numbers can be written in the empty boxes instead, either works.

What’s included? This game is made up of three resources. A set of x5 ‘Counting in 2’s socks’ sheets to cut up and use as cards, a set of x6 different coloured ‘Washing Line Game Boards’ and a matching set of counting in 2’s (sock!) number lines. update! Set of x7 number lines added - providing clear visual support for learners while playing this game! Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. To play this game the two resources included are both needed. What’s it for? This download includes a game (for up to x6 players) to practise ‘counting in 2’s’ (up to 50) using pairs of socks as a helpful visual guide. This game has been designed to encourage learners to think about ordering two’s numbers separately from the predictable counting pattern. Learners will still need to use their knowledge of counting in 2’s to help them but through playing this game their ability to recall the sequence of 2’s number will be called on. Resource 1 details Counting in 2’s ‘Sock number cards’ x5 sheets featuring pairs of socks numbered from 2 up to 50. Printing these ‘sock cards’ onto card (instead of paper) will prevent the numbers being visible through the paper when placed face down to play the game (helping to increase ‘fairness’ / eliminate cheating!) Resource 2 ‘Washing Line Game Boards’ x6 sheets, six different colours are included - red/yellow/green/blue/purple/pink. Simple instructions (as well as what is needed to play the game) are included at the top of every ‘Washing Line Game Board’. Resource 3 x1 sheet which includes x7 Counting in 2’s number lines to 50 with socks. There is one black and white (neutral) version and one colour to match each of the ‘Washing Line Game Boards’ so each player can have their own number line to assist them during the game (if needed).
