Number boards for 1-10 with images to sort and match onto the correct boards, including numicon, dice, numeral, cubes, deines and counting fingers. Why do You need this? The activity helps reinforce children’s ability to recognise and associate numerals with their corresponding quantities. By matching images such as numicon, dice, cubes, and counting fingers to the correct numeral boards, children can strengthen their understanding of numbers. The activity provides children with exposure to different representations of numbers. By seeing numbers depicted in various ways, such as dots on a die, numicon, or fingers representing a quantity, children develop flexibility in their understanding of numbers. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of ways: · Math lessons focused on numbers and counting · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Independent work stations What is included? Included are boards for numbers 1-10 with 6 matching cards for each board.

This booklet provides a structured format for children to practice writing numbers, helping them develop fine motor skills and reinforce number formation by tracing and writing single digits. How and when might you use this? This booklet could be used in a variety of ways: · Hands on math practice · During morning work, children can spend a few minutes at the beginning of the day practicing writing numbers and counting, setting a positive tone for math learning for the day. · Small group work to provide targeted support for those who need additional practice. · Homework · Math interventions for those struggling with writing numbers or counting What is included? Included in this resource is: · Number formation booklet with numbers 0-9. Each page includes numbers to trace over, counting fingers to count and a box to draw the correct number of circles · A worksheet in which each number 0-10 can be traced over.

Jigsaws in which children count the pictures and then join the jigsaw piece showing the corresponding number to the bottom. Showing both numerals and numbers in words. Why do you need this? Counting the pictures on the puzzle pieces provides children with valuable counting practice. They learn to accurately count objects and match the counted quantity to the appropriate numeral. The presence of numerals and numbers in words helps children reinforce their ability to recognise numbers in various forms. They learn to associate the numeral symbol with its corresponding written word, enhancing their overall number recognition skills. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of ways: · Math lessons focused on numbers and counting · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Independent work stations This can be used as a one off activity or for continued use I would recommend laminating this resource and using Velcro to move the jigsaw pieces around. What is included? Included are 10 two piece jigsaws with images to count and numbers in words and numerals.

Matching cards for numbers 1-10. 6 different formats for each number including dice, cubes, counting fingers and numicon. Why do you need this? Matching cards with different representations of numbers provide a multisensory approach to learning. With multiple formats for each number, teachers can differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of students in the classroom. Some students may benefit more from visual representations like dots on dice or images of objects, while others may prefer tactile representations such as counting fingers or manipulatives like numicon. Matching cards help students develop a deeper conceptual understanding of numbers. By exploring numbers in various contexts and representations, students can grasp the abstract concept of number more concretely, leading to better mathematical comprehension. How and when might you use this? This activity can be used in a variety of ways: · Small group instruction · Whole class activities · Early morning work · Assessment activities · Homework or independent practice · Math games What is included? There are 6 cards for each number 1-10. For each number there is a card showing: · A number · The written word for the number · Numicon · Counting fingers · Dice · Cubes

Repeating patterns with colours and shapes for children to finish by cutting and sticking the correct shapes. Why do you need this? This activity helps children develop their pattern recognition skills by identifying and extending simple repeating patterns. Recognising patterns is an important early maths skill that lays the foundation for more complex mathematical concepts later on. Completing repeating patterns requires children to use critical thinking skills as they analyse the sequence of colours and shapes and predict the next element in the pattern. It encourages them to think logically and sequentially. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of ways: · Maths lessons focused on repeating patterns · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Independent work stations This can be used as a one off activity or for continued use I would recommend laminating this resource and using Velcro to move the jigsaw pieces around. What is included? Included are 5 worksheets with 2 and 3 blank boxes to complete the patterns and 5 worksheets with 4 blank boxes to complete the patterns.

Play dough mats are a great way to practice fine motor skills while learning a variety of other skills. These particular mats can be used to help teach children numbers in words. Although I have suggested play dough for these mats they would also work with various other sensory materials as well simply with whiteboard pens. Clipart images courtesy of Pretty Grafik
