In this resource for KS1 and EYFS children, the objective is to enhance counting skills, pattern recognition, and basic arithmetic. Using 9 pages of colour school themed cards (showing quantities from 1 to 6), number cards, and 4 pattern cards, children will first practice counting objects and matching number cards to colour objects cards. Colour cards include pencils, crayons, books, children and desks. Basic addition and subtraction concepts will be introduced through visual aids, allowing children to combine and remove objects to solve simple problems. They will engage in pattern matching by identifying and creating sequences with the pattern cards and colour cards. A lesson overview is included detailing the 3 lesson ideas. All cards can be duplicated, cut and laminated for matching and sorting games.

3 sets of number story cards for EYFS children learning to count from 1 to 5. Ducks Farm animals Monkeys On each sheet there are 3 sets of cards Colour picture cards Number cards Blank cards for children to write or draw in Cut out all the cards and children can play sorting, ordering, matching and counting cards.

A fun game for young children that can be differentiated from counting and adding small numbers together to adding up to 36. There are different ways of using the resources. Activity 1 Share page 1 and work through together with the children so they understand the process. Then children can complete page 2 on their own, or in pairs. Here they say how many ducks they see on the ponds and add up the numbers using the colour duck key. Page 3 is a template so that the children can add their own colours to the duck key. Add their own ducks to the pond and then work out the answers to the questions. Activity 2 Page 4 is a set of colour duck cards. Duplicate these and cut them out to play matching games, snap, pairs and colour sorting. Page 5 is a pond for children to colour in and add ducks of their own. Page 6 are outline black and white ducks for the children to colour in how they want. They could cut these out and add them to the pond. Extend by making a class pond collage where all the children can add their own duck. *PCS Licenced - Boardmaker symbols.

This Egg-themed activity for KS1 children combines addition and subtraction practice with fun egg motifs. Children complete 6 pages of addition worksheets and 6 pages of subtraction worksheets, each featuring 4 questions. Numbers answers are from zero to twelve. They solve problems by writing answers as numerals or number words, or by drawing the corresponding number of eggs. To add a hands-on element, real eggs, Easter eggs or egg-shaped counters can be used to physically count and solve the problems before recording answers. This activity helps reinforce counting and basic arithmetic skills while celebrating the spirit of Easter or a link with Food.

This number resource consists of 4 worksheets designed for Key Stage 1 children. Each worksheet presents a series of number sentences involving simple addition and subtraction problems with answers within 10. Children are tasked with reading the number sentences, calculating the answers, and then colouring in the correct number of marbles in jars to visually represent their solutions. These worksheets help reinforce basic arithmetic skills while providing a fun, interactive way for children to practice and apply their knowledge of numbers.

A set of resources showing colour cards from Ace to King in the suits of hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. A lesson plan is included with 5 ways of using the resource. Objectives: Help KS1 children develop sorting, categorization, and creative skills using playing cards. This activity combines mathematics with art, allowing children to cut out, sort, and design custom playing cards with shapes and colours. Materials Needed: Printable playing card templates, coloured pencils/markers, scissors, glue sticks, cardstock, and optional sorting mats. Lesson planning sheet. Traditional playing card packs(optional). Differentiation: Provide pre-cut cards and guided templates for less confident learners and introduce advanced sorting criteria for those ready for more challenges. This activity reinforces fundamental mathematical concepts like number to 13, sorting, sequencing and categorization, but also allows children to exercise their creativity and fine motor skills.

This resource consists of five maths worksheets designed for young learners in EYFS and KS1, focusing on 2D shapes. There are 5 worksheets in colour and the same sheets duplicated in black and white. The worksheets feature a variety of activities to help children become familiar with basic geometric shapes: Children can name different shapes, reinforcing their shape recognition skills. Children trace over the shapes, which aids in developing fine motor skills and shape familiarity. Children colour in the black and white shapes, using their creativity while practicing colour recognition. Children cut around the shapes, enhancing their hand-eye coordination and scissor skills. Finally, children can match cut-out shapes with corresponding outline shapes, reinforcing their understanding of shape properties and spatial relationships. Overall, the worksheets provide an interactive approach to learning 2D shapes, catering to the developmental needs of young children.

This 10-page resource is designed to help KS1 teachers introduce young learners to patterns through colourful and black-and-white examples. Each page features a colour pattern alongside a black-and-white version, allowing children to explore and create their own patterns by making the two match or deliberately choosing different designs and colours. The resource integrates concepts of shape, colour, and symmetry while incorporating familiar themes like food, flowers and animals. The resource supports early pattern recognition and critical thinking skills in a visually stimulating way.
