A simple Powerpoint animation for use as a timer in the primary school classroom. Children must complete an activity before the jar fills up with marbles (5 minutes). Great for tidy up time in the Early Years, simple classroom activities or for building an understanding of time.

A washing machine front dial for supporting reading and mathematical development in the Early Years. Numbered to 9 with simple symbols and words. Also included are washing instructions - simple sentences to display in the home corner.

Differentiated ‘To do lists’ for display in the Home Corner, to support early reading, writing and number development. Includes a simple word version, a simple sentence verison and a blank template for children to fill in themselves. Lists are numbered 1-5.

A Powerpoint presentation that comprises ten different scenes - each with the numbers 1-10 hidden within them. This has proved really successful within my Early Years setting to develop and secure numeral recognition. We often use it as a Maths Starter activity and it has engaged pupils very well. Some scenes are more challenging than others, though it consistently surprises me how much better children are at spotting the numbers than adults! There are lots of different ways of using this resource to ensure appropriate pitch and challenge: We write the numbers 1-10 on our class board and tick them off as we find them in the pictures. Ensuring that we search for the numbers in order has really helped to secure number sense. We ask children to describe where the numbers are, supporting them to use positional language and to develop their speaking and listening skills, e.g. “The number 10 is next to/on top of/underneath the table”. Children can write the numbers on their own whiteboards and work on the activity individually - this way they also get practice of writing the numerals. We provide a checklist for children to tick them off themselves as we search for the numbers together as a whole class, supporting children to ‘match’ the numbers as we develop early number sense. We have often found that children are inspired to go and create their own ‘number hunt’ pictures independently after our Maths sessions, which then provides lots of evidence for our Learning Journeys and ensures that learning is embedded. A 1-20 Number Hunt activity is also available for purchase in my store.

A visual playdough recipe and separate ingredients sheet with simple photographs for each step. Designed to enable children to follow the recipe independently.

Boarding passes for use in an airport role play. A reading/writing opportunity to support purposeful role play. Also features a clock for children to draw the hands on to support early mathematical development.

A4 posters for the numbers 1-10. Each poster features the numeral, corresponding fingers and a clear visual array to represent the number.

Five separate Powerpoint presentations for the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, delivered in rhyme. Children have the opportunity to: Recognise the numerals in different real-life contexts. Understand the ‘one-ness’ of one; the ‘two-ness’ of two - what do they mean? Interact with the resources, e.g. Put 5 socks on the washing line. Designed to engage young learners through story and rhyme, supporting them to become secure in the basics of mathematics. Consistent with Maths Mastery and White Rose schemes of learning.

A selection of Maths resources for use with White Rose planning. We use these alongside our Autumn and Spring term planning. Includes 16 different resources: Part-whole diagram templates (large) Part-whole diagram templates (worksheets) Dot plates to 10 5 frame and 10 frame templates (large and worksheets) 3D Shape Hunt template 3D Shape Nets (cubes, cuboid, pyramid) Images for sorting into 6, 7, 8 Double-sided counters Ladybird templates Numeral and Matching cards 1-10 Weight measurement recording sheets Calendar templates Sheep masks (for acting out number bond stories) Alien characters (for acting out Numberblocks episodes) Autumn and Spring planning (12 weeks each) are also available for purchase in my store.

An interactive advent calendar for a bit of fun during the festive period. Children can click on a number from 1-25 for a silly number joke each day from a Numberblock. Great for number recognition during Maths starter activities, or whenever you find yourself with a spare five minutes and a classful of children!

A selection of 5 different books for the number rhymes: 5 Little Ducks 5 Little Monkeys 5 Fat Sausages 5 Little Speckled Frogs 10 Green Bottles We have printed these out, laminated them and turned each number rhyme into a book. We leave them in our continuous provision with some props, to support children to act out the rhymes independently. Supports mathematical development and early number sense.

A simple Powerpoint animation for use as a timer in the primary school classroom. Children must complete an activity before the jar fills up with marbles (2 minutes). Great for tidy up time in the Early Years, simple classroom activities or for building an understanding of time.

On Entry Maths Assessment for the Early Years - featuring Number assessments as well as areas of Shape, Space and Measure. A simple one page document ideal for capturing a snapshot of children’s mathematical understanding on entry and as children develop throughout the year.

Arrivals and Departures boards for display in a role play airport, to support reading and mathematical development in the Early Years. Arrivals board features countries while Departures board features cities. Both have times (1.00-10.00) to support mathematics, as well as statuses to support early reading (e.g. ‘go to the gate’).

A price book designed for a Bakery role play area. Featuring photographs of various bakery items with visual prices and ways of making the amounts in different ways, using 1ps and 2ps.

A4 posters for the numbers 1-20. Each numeral contains a selection of images to represent that number, e.g. dice, tallies, shapes, fingers, money, objects etc. Consistent with a Maths Mastery approach to teaching - supports pupils to become fully secure in early mathematical concepts.

An editable medium-term planning format for the Spring Term in Reception, for Mathematics. Features assessment points from Development Matters to show curriculum coverage. The 12 week planning we use alongside this is available for purchase in my store.
