Pirate coordinates activity. Children use the coordinates to find 2D shapes. The children loved trying to guees what the shapes were after only mapping a few coordinates. You could do this in groups/pairs or as a single activity. Children use positional language to fill in the missing gaps in the paragraph at the bottom. To extend this activity I cut out 2D shapes (the same as on the grid) and hid them around the school. I added an instruction onto each shape to lead to the next. At the end of the hunt there was a treasure chest full of chocolate coins :)
A tower which can be laminated and used as a great starter or lesson within KS1/Lower key stage.
Children are required to get down the timer by mentally adding or using resources.
Resources also comes with some key questions to extend the activity. Could be used to extend higher ability to think in a higher order way by guessing first before carrying out addition. 'How did you know?' type questions.
Enjoy!
Frozen inspired sheet to inspire children to record their own number sentence using a key. Sheet could be extended by removing the + and = and children being expected to record the whole number sentence themselves. Numbers on the key could also be made bigger or children could add together more items.
'read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs

A division activity. Children could solve this physically first using concrete resources then move to using coloured pens/crayons to record within the treasure chests. I fins this way prepares my children for recording to find an answer within a test style situation.
I created this for my class as i wanted evidence in Year 2 for this objective. I put the boxes underneath for the children to show their working. However that may be.
Children to record different ways of making the number in the star. It could be just addition, subtraction or mixed. You could also edit for multiplication further up school. My children always come up with some great ways and this is a great way to assess the children's recall and mental ability before teaching calculation.
Enjoy - If you would like me to edit or change, drop me a comment.
A matching activity.
Print and laminate, cut out the animals and match them with the correct parent/baby.
Alternatively could be printed and children required to glue them into the correct places. A full word list added so children can label and name the animals too :)
I used this resources to support my greater depth children to record their reasoning and to challenge each others thinking.
A great resource to hit the objective ‘Use related multiplication facts to reason’
Space for child's name. Simply tick if sound is correct . for omission. You could also record what sound they said instead for analysis. this is a very easy way to find teaching gaps.
Perfect revision before phonics screening. Phase 3 matching game.

Pink cards 1 game - Blue cards 1 game
Players place the cards face down, turn over and keep when they find a pair. Great revision tool or intervention for lower abilities.
A great activity to secure knowledge and understanding of bonds. Mainly aimed at year 1 but could be used for SEN or beginning of year 2 as an assessment tool.

A simple dice game. Children to roll a dice and read the corresponding fraction. The child then chooses a shape to colour. The first child to colour 4 shapes correctly in a row wins!
Children to find missing numbers in a number sentences using a numberline.
Could be used for Year 1/2 or for an intervention - See my other resources for accompanying sheets :)
Children to find the missing numbers. Could be a mental and oral activity or a main teach using a number line/cubes/numicon within Year 1 or for an intervention.
Phonics and reading plan based on the use of letter and sounds through phonics bug.
Assessments are outlined, tricky words and reading objectives for each year group.
A great start for a phonics lead to begin writing a program for the school to follow and adhere to.
