This resource was created for Post 16 learners with SEND as part of their Entry Level maths / Life Skills work. Learners discussed the importance of checking best before dates on food and choosing food items with the longest date. There are 2 worksheets, one with only 2 items to compare and one with 3 to allow for differentiation.

Change in pounds (£) and pence §, KS1, KS2, SEND Entry Level / Functional maths. Peg card activity designed for Post 16 Learners with SEND, but also appropriate for KS1 / KS2. Learners need to calculate what change would be due and place a peg on the correct amount. As a laminated peg card activity this is a reuseable resource but it could also be printed and used as a worksheet. There are 3 different activities within this item: Peg cards where child or young person calculates change from £1 (varying difficulty including 10s, 5s and single pence) Peg cards where change is calculated from £10 (whole pound / 50p) Peg cards where the learner has to recognise the coin or note, then calculate change (various amounts up to £10) Each activity contains 12 different cards.

Christmas peg cards - cut cards and laminate, children count the number of items on the card and place peg on correct number. These could also be used as a worksheet with the child circling / stamping the correct answer. 8 cards in total, up to 12 items to count. Christmas hundred squares - continue to develop number sense. Child identifies which number has been hidden by a Christmas picture. Includes 2 hundred square sheets and one fifty square.

**File 1: 2 Christmas themed worksheets. ** A) Children to look at the picture and identify if the character is left or right of the Christmas tree. B) Children to look at the picture and identify if the character is in front or behind the Christmas tree. File 2: 2 Christmas themed worksheets. Cut and stick the Christmas characters, following instructions to place them left or right. There are 2 different worksheets, the 2nd has simpler language and the key word is highlighted. I also accidentally forgot to delete the first page which is a duplicate from File 1.

Selection of 2D and 3D sheets which I have used as reuseable velcro tasks in my ASD classroom. Also suitable for use as cut and paste worksheets. ‘I can name shapes’ - 2 tasks, one matching shape to shadow, other is a shape labelling task. I laminated the main sheets whole, then cut out the shapes / shape names and added velcro. Learners match the name / shape to the baseboard. I have also left space on the baseboard for a strip of velcro to be added to keep the pieces together and ensure they don’t get lost when not in use. ‘real life shapes’ - picture cards of items which can be used in a range of ways, including sorting. ‘shape sorting - straight_curved’ - Another velcro task, laminate base board and pieces, pupils sort shapes by whether they have a curved edge or not. Also suitable to be used as a worksheet. ‘Shape colour and size’ - 2 x A4 pages. Page one has shapes which differ by colour, page 2 has shapes which differ by size and colour. I used these with SEN pupils in a range of ways, including as an attention and listening activity. E.g. “give me the red circle” (set 1) or “give me the big pink triangle”(set 2) All activities also suitable to be made up for home learning, especially when repetition is helpful for learners with SEN.

I made this for a little boy with autism who was working at mid P Levels. This was to develop his basic one to one correspondence of numbers up to 10 and ordering numbers. The activity is suitable for mainstream or any aged learner who is working at a basic maths level. There are 10 A4 sheets in total: 5 have 2 cards on 1 A4 sheet. These sheets have apple trees with a numbered basket (1 - 10). The idea of these was that the child places the matching number of ‘apples’ on the tree. For apples I used red counters or small red pompoms. There is an A4 apple tree with a space to place a number card on - this could be used in 2 ways: Adult (or peer) places up to 10 ‘apples’ on the tree and the child has to find the correct number card or the adult / peer places a number card in the space provided and the child has to place the correct number of ‘apples’ on the tree. The other pages have apple themed number cards to use with the A4 apple tree. They could also be used on their own for ordering, identifying which number comes next or is missing…or print twice and use as a memory game. This activity would be best laminated / velcroed. Its a bit of a random addition but as he could also rote count in 10’s to 100, I included number cards for 10’s numbers to develop his ability to recognise the numbers.

4 A4 sheets in total - 2 car parks and 2 sheets with corresponding cars. 1 activity is based on adding 10 to numbers from 0 to 10 and the other is based on doubling single digits. A cut and stick activity. Learners are given the car park sheet and have to work out the sum and stick the correct car in the car park space. Sums are on the car park places, answers are on the cars. I designed this for a Y2 learner with autism and limited motivation in maths as he loved cars. It did capture his interest and engaged him well. Other pupils who weren’t quite as fixated on cars still enjoyed the activity. Also suitable for mainstream pupils working at this level, or older pupils with SEN.

I made these as a re-useable task while we were learning about pattern. I chopped and laminated the strips, put those of the same colour together and made a hole with a holepunch in the end with the larger amount of white. I used a keyring ring to keep the strips together. There are 3 different degrees of differentiation and the strips are colour coded. Children use teddy shaped counters to finish the pattern.

I used this to develop very basic counting skills in a child with significant needs. It can be used as a cut and paste worksheet (3 worksheets if you print the table 3 times) or laminated and used as a re-useable sorting / workstation task. I also used the laminated cards to play counting games with the child - giving him a selection of cards (all of the cards would have been overwhelming) and asking him to find 3 apples / 2 bananas etc. Once he became more confident with this, the next step would be to give him a selection of cards and ask him to find all of the threes / all of the twos etc. As this child was particularly motivated by superheroes, I included some superhero cards too.

A bundle of 4 resources created for my ASD class to support understanding of basic time. Suitable for KS1 or any aged SEN learner. These activities could be used as part of a narrative / colourful semantics approach to develop understanding of ‘when’ or in maths to support basic time awareness. Months: Table of the months of the year and a selection of 24 symbols. Teacher to choose which symbols are relevant and will be recognised by your particular group of learners. Students stick the symbols onto the correct month (e.g. Halloween next to October). When I did this with my class I also included pictures of the children in the class and learners stuck pictures of their classmates in the birthdays section of the table. I have left this version of the table in, as it might be of use for some, but I’ve also included a copy of the table without the birthday column. Day / Night Sorting: Instructions included. This could be used as a worksheet task or it could be laminated / velcroed and used as a re-useable workstation task. Days of the Week homework: Worksheet to support learning and reinforce understanding about the days of the week. Days of the Week School: Instructions included. Learners stick the days of the week into the correct order, they then stick symbols on to indicate what happens in school on particular days.

Activity 1: Children need to count the items (1 - 5) on a baseboard and place the corresponding number digit card and dice card appropriately. Designed to reinforce familiarity with numbers 1 to 5 and their matching digit and dice face. Best laminated with velcro to attach cards to baseboard but also suitable for use as a cut and paste worksheet. Activity 2: 4 worksheets of varying difficulty. Children need to complete 10 squares to make specific numbers. This could be made more fun by using bingo dabbers or an ear bud dipped in paint.

Base cards showing a food item and a price up to 20p. Learners need to find the matching card (showing British coins) to attach to the base card. Best laminated and with velcro attached. 14 cards to match (photo only shows 6 of them)

Cards show British coins up to £1 in value, stating “I have…” Underneath is a statement saying how much an item costs. Learners need to count the coins and decide whether they can afford the item. Many learners with ASD / SEN struggle with money sense and the idea of whether an item is affordable or not. This activity could be extended to ask how much change the student would receive if the item is affordable, or alternatively, how much more money they would need. Designed as an independent workstation task for learners with autism but could also be used in a small group. Learners use clothes pegs to answer the question yes / no to make the task more interactive and to focus those who find sitting and writing to be difficult.

8 A4 pages with differentiation. Meters and centimeters - converting each way, comparing. Centimeters and millimeters - converting between, comparing, ordering Table: measure classroom items and record results in millimeters and centimeters / millimeters. Subtract length from meters Subtract length from meters (bar models)

10 pages of activities designed to co-ordinate with White Rose, Y1, Block 2, Place Value to 50. Would also be useful to develop / reinforce basic maths skills with any age group or SEN / intervention groups.

Designed for my SEN / autistic learners who are mixed age but following White Rose Y3 (weeks 1 - 3, though likely to take my learners longer): Comparing statements Related calculations Multiply 2 digit number by 1 digit

3 and 4 times table peg cards. Chop and laminate. Children use clothes pegs, clipping the peg on the correct answer. Domino groups of 4 - my children will stick in book then write which 4 x table sum matches the group. x 2 and x 4 function machine - my children struggle to understand that multiplying by 4 is the same as doubling twice. Designed for SEN / autism mixed age class but equally appropriate for mainstream / SEN.

3 x table peg cards - learners attach clothes pegs to the correct answer for each sum in the 3 table. Designed as a work task for learners with autism / SEN but equally useful for mainstream learners. Chop and laminate cards to use.

Shape bundle designed to run alongside White Rose Y1 Block 3. Join name to 3D shape Odd one out (3D shape) Shape sorting activity Pattern worksheets

Created for mixed age SEN class of children with autism, roughly following Y3 white rose scheme of work. Children begin to explore grouping in 3, repeated addition, bar models, simple word problems (as my children particularly struggle with any form of worded question!) and drawing their own representations.
