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 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.
Page 2
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

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.

What’s included?
This download includes x2 pages, portrait orientation, in pdf format.
What is it?
This is a simple game for two players to reinforce 2D shape names and the number of sides each shape has.
The game includes two boards on page 2 (one for each player) with a space for each player to write their names on the line above. All that is needed in addition is a die (dice). One to share is best to promote turn-taking.
Players take turns to roll the die. The number on the die indicates the number of sides of the shape e.g. a circle has ‘one’ side therefore if the player rolls a ‘one’ with the die the ‘circle’ can be ‘ticked off’ on the board. Alternatively a counter/‘matching 2D plastic/wooden shape’ could be placed on top of each shape on the board once the shape has been ‘rolled’. The first player to tick off (or cover up!) all 2D shapes on their board is the ‘winner’ !
Clear visual instructions are included on page 1 of this resource which the players could be encouraged to read themselves before playing the game.
Who’s it for?
This ‘2D shape name game’ resource has been designed for early years and pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support.
What’s needed?
One die (dice) to share or one each. Foam dice are great as really quiet!
Optional
A shallow box, e.g. half of an empty cereal box laid flat on its back with front removed (ideally lined with a piece ‘felt’ fabric to soften sound) to roll the die into could be used to avoid dice rolling away (e.g. off a table top). This should avoid any momentum of the game being interrupted while searching for lost dice !
Resource layout
The instruction text is size 14 ‘Avenir’ font. Instructions are included on page 1, the game itself (x2 game boards) are included on page 2.
Recommendations
This PDF has been designed to print and write-on. It could be laminated and a dry-wipe pen used to enable reuse and improve durability.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for children in the early years, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the concept of symmetry within x6 spot/dot pictures.
How to use it?
Learners use the printed B&W/colour spots on the left to complete each of the x6 ‘symmetrical patterns’ on the right side.
Alternatively learners can create their own symmetrical spot/dot patterns using the blank sheet provided.
Suggestion
Using safety mirrors along side the activity would make a huge difference to understanding (or not) for some learners. Best to use these where they are available,

x4 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for children in the early years, pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource encourages learners to identify 2D shapes while practising counting (carefully and systematically) up to 12 objects.
How to use it?
Learners identify the x8 different 2D shapes hidden (on page 2) and once they have counted the total number of each shape (maximum number is 12) learners record this total amount on the recording sheet (page 1). Answers are provided on pages 3 and 4 in exactly the same layout for quick, easy reference - encouraging learners to be autonomous in checking their own work (carefully).
Suggestion
Encourage learners to use a different coloured crayon/felt tip pen when counting each different 2D shape (using page 2). This will make finding and counting each different 2D shape much easier and systematic for learners.
Provide ‘answers sheets’ (pages 3 and 4) for groups to share and only once the 2D Shape Eye Spy activity has been completed!

Resource Details
Page 1 is a visual reference sheet which could be used for display purposes but has been designed to be used as a point of discussion about what ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ means…
As a teacher/adult led discussion learners could explore what the concepts ‘big ‘ and ‘small’ mean. There are x9 pairs of images displayed on page 1, each showing items that are (when compared to each other in the ‘real world’) ‘big’ or ‘small’. Learners could first work together to identify what the big and small item is in each pair.
The images shown for comparison and discussion are:
the world (big) with a space rocket (small)
a table (big) with a cup (small)
a factory (big) with a bike (small)
a tower block (big) with a person/woman (small)
a flower (big) with a bee (small)
a plate (big) with a pea (small)
a tree (big) with a bird (small)
an elephant (big) with a mouse (small)
mountains (big) with a person hiking (small)
Once the big/small item in each pair has been identified learners could go on to consider mixing up the items in the pictured pairs - e.g. if the ‘elephant’ was compared with the ‘world’ instead of the ‘mouse’ which would be big and which would be small? The images on pages 2 and 3 could be used as a matching activity for learners to think about and explore this further.
Pages 2 and 3 are for learners to use to record three sets of pairs of items that are (when compared with each other in the real world) BIG or small. The BIG item in each pair is the be positioned on the right and the small item in each pair is to be positioned on the left. There are three spaces (for three pairs) on page 2 and page 3, learners could complete two pages (2 and 3!)
Pages 4 and 5 display the images from page 1 ready to be cut up (dotted lines guide where to cut) and placed in pairs on pages 2 and 3 (or page 6). Learners could pair up the images as featured on page 1 (see this list of big/small pairs above) OR learners could pair the images differently. However the learners pair up the images the idea is to pair one BIG and one small item when thinking about the size of these items in the ‘real world’ and not the size of the image as pictured on these sheets. This may confuse some learners and they will really need to think about these items/images carefully where pairing a big and small image together before securing them with glue on pages 2/3/6.
Page 6 provides an opportunity for learners to draw and label their own (real world) BIG and small images.

x6 ‘Lilac themed’ pages of 0 - 10 number lines. Each version slightly different (with/without vertical number tracks above) x4 number lines per page. All displaying numbers 0-10 All other colours available in my TES shop (also for free) - I know how important colour (and choice!) can be for little learners!
Resource layout
This download includes x4 number lines per page, each displaying numbers from 0 - 10, all in landscape, PDF format, x6 sheets total.
Each page is slightly different. These difference are listed below (top to bottom, in PDF order) -
x4 number lines 0 - 10 Lilac numbers, black box lines, NO vertical count on/back tracks above
x4 number lines 0 - 10 Lilac numbers, lilac box lines, NO vertical count on/back tracks above (all lilac)
x4 number lines 0 - 10 Black numbers, lilac box lines, NO vertical count on/back tracks above
x4 number lines 0 - 10 Lilac numbers, lilac box lines, lilac vertical count on/back tracks above (all lilac)
x4 number lines 0 - 10 Lilac numbers, lilac box lines, black vertical count on/back tracks above
x4 number lines 0 - 10 Black numbers, lilac box lines, lilac vertical count on/back tracks above
This resource enables learners to count on/back from 0 to 10 and have been designed to make using the number line and counting as clear as possible.
The size 50 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the numbers easy to read and models good formation of all numerals from 0 to 10.
The landscape format and area between each number line provides optimal space for drawing ‘jumps’ between numbers to track counting on and back both above and below each number line.
Recommendations
Different numbers could be covered to encourage learners to identify which number comes before/next.
