What’s included?
This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting numerals 1 to 12.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed to break down each step involved in writing these twelve numerals correctly, using green (go!) starting dots and red (stop!) dots to make it clear to learners exactly where to begin and end writing. Support (colour coded) arrows also guide learners on which direction to follow. This resource should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these numerals more closely.
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
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 150.
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has clear ‘starting’ and ‘ending’ dots so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet and a clear space to record the number-date at the top of the sheet - helpful to keep sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time…

What’s included?
This pdf download includes x5 landscape orientation sheets featuring x23 2D Shapes with clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate/cellophane 2D shapes for (window) display.
What’s it for?
These 2D shapes have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the shapes look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the colour ‘falls’ depends on the position of the shape in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole set of 2D shapes together as a focus to encourage learners to recognise and name each 2D shape and become familiar with recognising and naming them as well as lots of exposure and so time to count the number of sides/corners and think about the properties of each e.g. which have straight/curved sides (or both!). The 2D shapes can of course be repositioned and displayed as you choose. I have included a ‘2D shapes’ label to be displayed with the set of shapes.
This resource would also support work on shadows and light/dark.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students who would appreciate a pop of colour shining through these shapes when the sun comes out!
Resource Details
The shapes all have a name label which is in the font ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 45. There are x5 pages. The first page includes clear instructions and the remaining pages include the set of shapes and 2D Shapes word label.
Suggestions
I recommend printing and making these letters out of white card - paper would be too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are quite inexpensive on Amazon(!)
I recommend also backing every 2D shape in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time and to do this x10 sheets of A4 white card will be needed (instead of x5 sheets).

What’s included?
This pdf download includes sixteen (rainbow themed) ‘number bonds to 5/10/20’ pages, all presented in portrait orientation.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in Reception, Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
To practise recalling number bonds to 5/10/20 facts as well as providing the opportunity to identify number ‘patterns’ which are helpful in identifying missing numbers in a sequence.
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.
The large size 35/50 ‘Avenir’ font makes the numbers and + sign easy to read and models the addition ‘pattern’ in a clear layout to learners.
Resource 1 - in order
x2 pages includes number bonds (to 5/10/20) questions to complete in ‘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 answers are clearly presented in the same layout on page 2.
Page 2 could be used as a reference resource for display
Resource 2 - in random order
x2 pages includes number bonds (to 5/10/20)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 answers are clearly presented in the same layout on page 2.
Page 2 could be used as a reference resource for display
Resource 3 - quick match recap questions (Numberbonds to 10/20 only)
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.
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 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.

What’s included?
This download includes two A4, portrait sheets to practise counting up to x10 items (fruit), writing the total number and recording ’one more’ OR ‘one less’ for each.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for children in the early years, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Resource Details
The sheet is organised into five different coloured (fruit) groups, each group has less than 10 objects (fruit) in total. Learners count each group in turn, write the total amount of fruit and then add (either mentally or by ‘drawing’ one more fruit) and writing the number - which is ‘one more’ OR ‘one less’.
There is a clear space to record the number date at the top right of the sheet and for learners to write their name (lower left).

This is a simple, easy to play game to reinforce number bonds to 10 knowledge in a fun, easy way. Designed for Y1 and Y2, suitable for Reception aged children. This is a two player game so ideal for a parent and child or support assistant and individual child needing some extra help in remembering these number bonds.
I have used this successfully online but have adapted it here so that it can be played at a table/desk…or on the floor!
Everything needed to play this simple game is included in the pdf and the instructions are clearly printed on the game. Of course these can be adapted to suit each learner as long as it is fun and they are learning thats the key thing!

What’s included?
This pdf download includes x3 pages designed in landscape orientation featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting in 10’s up to 100. This resource has been designed in black and white for easy, clear printing.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception.
This has been designed as a ‘cut and stick’ activity for learners who may find ‘writing’ numbers challenging or those who love to cut and stick! The numbers to cut out are positioned at the bottom of the sheet - these could be pre-cut by an adult to speed up the activity or to support learners who find cutting challenging/demotivating. Cutting ‘dots’ are included to guide the children in where to cut ‘out’ (rather than cut ‘up’ !) the numbers!
Resource layout
Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the numbers easy to read and the simple layout makes the process of counting in 10’s visually clear to young learners. The headings are in the same font - size 20 and the instructions are size 16.
Page 1
The first page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can cut and stick the correct 10’s number. The numbers ’30’ and ‘100’ have already been typed in the boxes, leaving x8 number gaps for the learner to complete. With two completed numbers to help this is the least challenging sheet in this set.
Page 2
The second page also has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can stick the correct 10’s number. This blank version can be printed and the adult can write some more of the 10’s numbers in, (still leaving gaps for the learner) to complete the boxes. If given to a learner as it is (without any numbers written on) this page (page 2) is the more challenging sheet in this set, particularly as the numbers to ‘cut out’ are intentionally ‘mixed up’.
Page 3
The last, page 3 is the answers page - ALL 10’s numbers to 100 have been typed in the boxes. This makes page 3 a helpful reference sheet which learners could use to check their answers themselves. Page 3 could be used as a reference resource for display.
What’s included?
x3 sets of blank addition sums, x1 black and white and x2 rainbow themed, portrait orientation, pdf format.
Resource layout
Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the number signs + = easy to read and the large boxes model a clear layout of the addition process to young learners.
The portrait format provides optimal space for each sum, a good sized box enables learners to place small objects and draw these to count and record the total amount. There is a line underneath each box on which to write the numbers.
This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse. This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.
Recommendations
The simple lay out of each (blank) addition sum is an easy to use (and re-use!) resource. Numbers can be written on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) either in the larger box or on the line underneath each box. Small objects can be placed in each box (I have successfully used small coloured matchsticks with this resource if these are not deemed a choking hazard for your little learner/s). Once the correct number of matchsticks/items have been counted out into the larger boxes (and the corresponding number has been written underneath) the matchsticks/objects can then be moved to the ‘total’ or ‘=’ box to find to whole number (when all matchsticks/objects are combined). The answer to the sum can then be recorded ‘in’ or ‘under’ the large box at the end of the sum (on the right side).
The black and white version is ideal for photocopying, the coloured version makes each separate sum clear plus I know how important colour can be for little learners!

What’s included?
This pdf download includes x3 pages designed in landscape orientation featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting up to 100 in 10’s. This resource has been designed in black and white for easy, clear printing.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception.
Resource layout
The simple lay out of pairs of hands, clearly showing ten fingers in each (blank) box is an easy to use (and re-use!) resource. Numbers can be written straight onto the sheet (and wiped off if laminated).
Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the numbers easy to read and the simple layout makes the process of counting in 10’s visually clear to young learners.
Page 1
The first page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can write the correct 10’s number. There is a reference above (showing all 10’s numbers in order to 100) - to support less able learners/learners ‘new’ to ‘counting in 10’s’. The numbers 10, 50 and 100 have already been typed in the boxes, leaving x7 number gaps for the learner to complete. With three completed numbers and a reference guide clearly displayed above this is the least challenging sheet in this set.

The second page is the same design (x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can write the correct 10’s number). As on page 1 there is a reference above (showing all 10’s numbers in order to 100) - to support less able learners/learners ‘new’ to ‘counting in 10’s’. Page 2 is a blank version which, when printed and an adult could write some of the 10’s numbers in, leaving gaps for the learner to write the remaining 10’s numbers in. If given to a learner as it is (without any numbers written on) this page is the more challenging sheet in this set.
Page 3
The last page (3) is also the same design layout, however ALL 10’s numbers to 100 are included in the boxes. This makes page 3 a helpful reference/answer sheet which learners can use to check their answers themselves.
Recommendations
This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse.
What included?
One pdf with x7 sets of counting in 10’s (circle) cards, x6 colours plus grey. Each sheet includes numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 and one ‘blank’ card in same style. Colours (and order) of the ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ are red (page 1), yellow (page 2), green (page 3), blue (page 4), purple (page 5) pink (page 6) and grey (page 7). All sheets are portrait orientation.
What are they for?
The circles can be cut out and used to practise/check ‘counting in 10’s’ to 100 using the image of 'ten fingers’ (on hands!) as a clear visual guide. These have been designed to be simple and ideal to use in various ways to practise and reinforce counting in 10’s to 100. Suggestions include:
Game
Each learner needs one set of coloured cards each. To play game circle cards can be sorted into colours and shuffled. Cards to be placed face-down in a grid (in random order). Players take turns to turn over one card at a time. If a player reveals their ‘own’ colour the card is kept, if it is not that player’s colour the card is returned to where it was taken from in the grid. The winner is the first player to collect all x10 cards (in their colour set) and position these cards in the correct order from 10 to 100.
Treasure hunt
These cards could be used for a coloured ‘treasure hunt’ where one set of cards are hidden within a specified area for learners to find, then order (once all colours in set have been found).
Various other games could be invented using these cards.
Circle sheets are best printed on card (or printed on paper and backed onto card) to ensure the images/numbers are not visible through the paper when reversed during game. See ‘recommendations’ below…
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception.
Recommendations
This PDF has been designed to print, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Print off as many sets as needed. Quality/durability will be best when printed onto ‘card’ (instead of paper) OR print onto paper, back onto card and laminate to keep for longer. Always cut off sharp corners when laminating, to give a safe, smooth ‘rounded’ edge.
Useful for
The clear design makes this a clear guide for counting in 10’s, useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

What’s included?
This download includes two A4 pages (landscape orientation) with x10 number bonds to 5 sums (in order) in pdf format. The answers (page 2) are in the same layout for easy comparison.
Who’s it for?
These ‘number bonds’ have been carefully designed for early years and pupils as well as students needing additional learning support.
This resource has been designed around ‘moving vans - with moving boxes’ and ‘taxis’ with 'vehicle lovers’ in mind as to motivate our learners linking to personal interests and life experiences wherever possible can be a powerful way to inspire and engage.
Resource layout
Page 1
In the upper section the learner is to match the number on each house window with the number on the 'moving house’ van - drawing a line (from the ‘door handle’ dots on the house to the black dot on each moving van above the number) to connect each number bond pair which makes 5. In the lower section the learner is to match the number on the taxi with the number on the taxi rank sign which - together - make a total of five.
Page 2
Shows all number bonds matched (the answers) clearly displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference.
Lines can be drawn on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) using a short (15cm ruler) to show accurate matching.
The numbers are size 16 ‘Avenir’ font (at the smallest - on the taxis/taxi rank signs), the headings are ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font, size 20.
This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse.
Recommendations
If physical support materials are helpful to use as well small objects could be placed in each box such as small coloured matchsticks (if these are not deemed a choking hazard for little learner/s). Once the correct number of matchsticks/objects have been counted out into the boxes and the learner is content with ‘how many are needed to make 5’ the learner is to draw a line connecting the two numbers for each number bond which (together) make 5.
