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?
x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students who would benefit from investigating the concept of ‘symmetry’ and ‘symmetrical’ or students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 capital letters of the alphabet!
How to use it?
The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by first cutting around each capital letter to investigate one letter at a time. It is best to begin by folding letters and cutting once learners are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry. A (safety!) mirror could be helpful as a back up to check (especially if letters have already been cut up!)
Resource Details…
Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity.
Page 1. At the top are ‘larger’ capital letters, each within a dotted box - these dots guide where to cut. Learners can cut out one of these larger letters at a time (to avoid having lots of letters in front of them at once and risk losing some). Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity.
Along the length of base side of the sheet is a set of smaller capital letters designed to be cut with two simple snips (vertically up to the red line and then horizontally) to separate these from the sheet one at a time. These are designed to be used to record findings (answers) - on page 2. The larger capital letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated.
Page 2.
Learners will need a pencil to their write their name at the base of page 2 and access to a glue stick to continue their investigation using page 2.
Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller capital letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical.
Page 3 clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation.
Page 4 also clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, but in more detail - including where the actual lines of symmetry are.
For learners who might find the concept of symmetry difficult they can use page 4 (instead of page 1) and use the lines of symmetry included here to explore for themselves where to fold to investigate ‘symmetry’ with support.

What’s included?
This download includes four A4, (x2 landscape/x2 portrait orientation) pdf sheets to play the ‘2D Shapes Robot Game’. UPDATE! Two new LARGER game boards are now 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.
What’s it for?
This resource is to help learners recognise and name 2D shapes as well as thinking about their properties e.g. the number of sides and corners/vertices.
Resource Details
The 2D shapes focused on in this game are investigated in this activity are semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.
Learners will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game.
Page 1 includes the game instructions. These are:
How to play
Each player choose a game board (left or right) page 2 Names can be written above each board
Take turns to shake the die
When a player rolls a number for a shape that they need to collect they ‘stick’ this shape onto their robot’s ‘control panel’ (right side, page 2).
Follow the instructions below…
If roll 1 - stick down and tick circle (circle has one curved side)
If roll 2 - stick down and tick semi circle (a semi circle has two sides, one straight AND one curved)
If roll 3 - stick down and tick triangle (a triangle has three sides AND three corners / ‘vertices’)
If roll 4 - stick down and tick square (a square has four equal sides AND four corners / ‘vertices’)
If roll 5 - stick down and tick pentagon (a pentagon has five sides AND five corners / ‘vertices’)
If roll 6 - stick down and tick hexagon (a hexagon has six sides AND six corners / ‘vertices’)
…once the shape is stuck down AND ticked that player can have ANOTHER turn!
If roll a number for a shape already stuck down and ticked it is the next person’s turn instead…
Repeat until one player has collected/ticked off ALL of their 2D shapes first!
Page 2 includes two ‘game boards’ and a set of small 2D shapes for each player (dotted lines guide where to cut). Players will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game.
An adult could pre-cut the small 2D shapes for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.

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.
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 Rainbow Dot cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up.
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.
Suggestion
I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic (as seen on the main resource image). Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small piece 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?
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 x4 sheets, all portrait orientation, pdf format.
What’s it for?
This activity set has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 100/200 high frequency words and practise seeing these words on sight while matching these words with images. This set focuses on all ‘number names’ from ‘one’ to ‘twenty’ - all words included have a matching image (of the numeral and correct number of objects).
This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently or those needing some individual 1:1 support.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds (and words/numbers) for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is also suitable for older learners with additional learning needs.
How to use it?
An adult can pre-cut along dotted lines provided and the set of x20 words (and images) can be shuffled and placed face-up on the carpet/a table top for learners to look at carefully and try to match.
Resource Details…
These words are all from the list of ‘common words’ to read and spell. Some are also from the from the first 100/200 high frequency word list. It is possible to ‘sound out’ ‘most’ of these words, however some are ‘tricky’. Words to sound out can be identified by a ‘white tick’, tricky words can be identified by a white ‘cross’.
In the ‘word box’ at the top-right there is a coloured ‘triangle’. The colour indicates which phonics phase this word fits in with. Pink triangles indicate that the words are from ‘phase 2’, purple triangles indicate that the words are from 'phase 3’, turquoise triangles indicate that the words are from 'phase 5’ and grey triangles indicate that the words are from phase 6+. The ‘key’ at the top of each sheet also makes this colour coded system clear.
Red letters indicate the tricky/irregular letters/sounds.
Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound. Tricky words are underlined as one word instead.
Each page is numbered e.g. ‘1 of 4’ - find page numbers on the lower right side of each sheet.
The blue box outline colour indicates that these words are all part of the ‘number names’ set.

Resource 2 (random order)
x2 pages include x12 number bonds (to 10) 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.
The number bonds are listed in this order:
3 + 7
4 + 6
5 + 5
1 + 9
1 + 10
2 + 8
7 + 3
6 + 4
5 + 5
1 + 9
10 + 1
8 + 2
Answers are clearly presented on page 2.

Resource 3
x2 pages include x10 ‘quick match’ recap questions to complete, with answers. Learners would be best using a ruler to match the number bonds on page 1.
Answers are clearly presented on page 2.
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.
Recommendations
These PDFs have been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, they could also be laminated to enable reuse.

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 x2 A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 7 types of traffic/ways of travel and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple block diagram. There is also a space to add in your own ‘traffic’ should this be needed.
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 x2 stages to this activity, going out (always with an adult!) to count vehicles for an agreed amount of time and transferring the information collected onto a block diagram.
Page 1
Learners are to count the number of vehicles observed passing along a road (from a safe distance and always with adult supervision!) The types of vehicles included on the recording sheet are cars, vans, buses, trucks/lorries, bicycles, motorbikes, pedestrians. There is a space to add another type of traffic in the lowest box.
Page 2
Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear block diagram. The vehicles listed on the ‘traffic survey’ sheet are included in the same order here to assist the process of transferring this information. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each group of vehicles. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 vehicles (for each vehicle group). Vehicle groups with any more than 12 should colour up to 12 as this indicates ‘12+’.

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.
