Autumn and Spring Term planning are also available for purchase in my store.
A selection of 10 different high quality photographs representing the season of Spring. We laminate these, cut them up and challenge children to complete the puzzles as an independent activity. It’s a great way of assessing number recognition and ordering and sequencing numerals to 10, with use of maths for a purpose.
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.
10 A4 posters for the numerals 1-10.
Each poster features a Numberblock character, a representation on fingers, and the numeral.
Please note these are not genuine Numberblock characters but a similar version that I created to support number sense.
An editable medium-term planning format for the Spring Term in Reception, for Mathematics. Features assessment points from Development Matters to show curriculum coverage.
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!
An editable medium-term planning format for the Autumn Term in Reception, for Mathematics. We cover Number and Place Value (to 10) and Shape, Space and Measure (2D Shapes; Comparing lengths; Introducing money). Features assessment points from Development Matters to show curriculum coverage.
A selection of 8 different worksheets, designed to consolidate children’s understanding of partitioning and adding numbers, using the part-whole models as recommended by White Rose Maths.
4 worksheets focus on splitting the wholes into parts;
4 worksheets focus on adding parts to find the whole.
The worksheets use numerals, Numicon shapes, dot patterns and cubes to support children to use a range of resources.
Supports adding and partitioning numbers to 10.
A large selection of price tags for use in a role play shop or Maths lesson.
The price tags feature different coin combinations for 1p - 20p, allowing teachers to differentiate their resources and to support mathematical progress. We use these both for role play shops and as a matching game when introducing money - separating the price labels from the coins and asking children to match the totals.
Includes:
Simple price tags 1p - 10p featuring only 1p coins
Differentiated price tags 1p - 10p featuring two different coin combinations, using both 1p coins and 2p coins
Differentiated price tags 5p - 20p featuring 5p coins, 10p coins and 20p coin
Blank price tag templates for children to create their own
The download includes a ready-to-print PDF file as well as an editable Word document, should you wish to create your own combinations of coins and price tags with the templates.

One more, one less posters: Number displays to 10.
Each poster is on its own A4 page and features a representation of the number in three different ways - on fingers, as Numicon number shapes and as objects - as well as 1 more and 1 less than that number displayed in the same way. There is also a blank poster for children to complete themselves in continuous provision or as a home learning task.
‘Number of the Week’ posters 1-10.

There is also a blank poster for children to complete themselves in continuous provision or as a home learning task.
Ideal for use alongside White Rose or Maths Mastery approaches to planning, who suggest learning one number a week to secure and consolidate number sense.
A Powerpoint presentation featuring over 25 different ‘morning task’ activities. We’ve found this really useful to display first thing in the morning – to keep children busy learning as they sit on the carpet during Register time. Children study the scenes independently before we come together and discuss them as a whole class. Also great for those times when you find yourself with a spare five minutes and a classful of children! A selection of activities is provided, including:
*Reading Tasks – children read words and find the corresponding objects hidden in pictures
*Number Hunts – children find hidden numbers in a variety of scenes (1-10/1-20)
*Tricky Word Wordsearches – children hunt for the tricky words hidden (always left > right)
*2D Shape Hunts – children search for examples of 2D shapes in pictures
*Spot the Difference – great for Listening and Attention, Communication and Language skills
Some scenes are more challenging than others, and words in the Reading tasks are fully editable so you can make them more complex as children’s reading skills progress.
Two Powerpoint presentations that each comprise ten different scenes - each with the numbers 1-10 or 1-20 hidden within them.
These have proved really successful within my Early Years setting to develop and secure numeral recognition. We often use them as Maths Starter activities and they have 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 these resources to ensure appropriate pitch and challenge:
*We write the numbers 1-10 or 1-20 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.
The presentations are also available as individual downloads in my store.
