I split my class into mixed ability groups and ask them to answer the subtraction questions using resources of their own choosing. The questions go from LAP-AAP-AAP+-HAP. Children love working together to work out as many as possible!

Planningng with objectives (statutory and non statutory) with label a plant activity sheet.

A great way to secure fact family knowledge and understanding.Can children manipulate the numbers given to them. Could they reason and explain how they know? Eg. ‘The biggest number must be at the front to be shared. The 2 smallest numbers multiply to make the biggest number.’

Space for child's name. Simply tick if sound is correct . for omission. You could also record what sound they said instead for analysis. this is a very easy way to find teaching gaps.

Y1 Fraction Dominoes - whole, half and quarter A way to get your children to see whole, half and quarter in a variety of ways :) I found this resource useful as my class were getting used to the half, quarter and whole of a 'pizza' that we see everywhere. Enjoy :)

A simple dice game. Children to roll a dice and read the corresponding fraction. The child then chooses a shape to colour. The first child to colour 4 shapes correctly in a row wins!

In class aid for children beginning to write sentences at whatever age/stage

A matching activity. Print and laminate, cut out the animals and match them with the correct parent/baby. Alternatively could be printed and children required to glue them into the correct places. A full word list added so children can label and name the animals too :)

A great way to encourage some greater depth thinking within position and direction. A few activities to encourage the use of key words. For higher ability children the key words could be removed. For Lower ability children their answers could be scribed for them and made practical using apparatus/resources.**

A powerpoint for a rhyming poem lesson based on a sea shanty. Also a pirate alliterate/nonsense poem resource.

Children use the coordinates to draw shapes and name.

A division activity. Children could solve this physically first using concrete resources then move to using coloured pens/crayons to record within the treasure chests. I fins this way prepares my children for recording to find an answer within a test style situation.

This sheet is based on questions provided within the cornerstones maths assessments for Y1. It also addresses the year 1 maths objectives: 'read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs  represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20  add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero  solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = – 9.' I have also left a box at the top for you to add your learning intention/MSC/Checklist/Objective etc. Enjoy.

Used at the end of year 1 as a different way to show multiplication and division using a triangle to support. Children use the triangle to find 2 multiplication and 2 division sentences using the same digits from the triangle. For my higher ability children I cut out the different families and mixed them so they had to really concentrate on what they were doing.

Frozen inspired sheet to inspire children to record their own number sentence using a key. Sheet could be extended by removing the + and = and children being expected to record the whole number sentence themselves. Numbers on the key could also be made bigger or children could add together more items. 'read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs  represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20  add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero  solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = – 9.' National Curriculum. Enjoy.

A tower which can be laminated and used as a great starter or lesson within KS1/Lower key stage. Children are required to get down the timer by mentally adding or using resources. Resources also comes with some key questions to extend the activity. Could be used to extend higher ability to think in a higher order way by guessing first before carrying out addition. 'How did you know?' type questions. Enjoy!

I created this for my class as i wanted evidence in Year 2 for this objective. I put the boxes underneath for the children to show their working. However that may be.

I used this resources to support my greater depth children to record their reasoning and to challenge each others thinking. A great resource to hit the objective ‘Use related multiplication facts to reason’

A great activity to secure knowledge and understanding of bonds. Mainly aimed at year 1 but could be used for SEN or beginning of year 2 as an assessment tool.
