This Classroom Secrets resource learning activity enables children to develop their understanding of number bonds and simple addition involving two single-digit numbers. Where possible, encourage children to subitise the amounts and provide practical objects to aid understanding if required. Children find and record the missing number in order to create number bonds to 5.

This Classroom Secrets resource learning activity enables children to practise their counting and numeral recognition in an independent context. Children can subitise the small amounts, or count using one-to-one correspondence, and then select the corresponding numeral by placing a clothes peg in the correct place. Alternatively, the cards showing number pieces can be provided which will support children’s quick recognition of the maths manipulative.

This Classroom Secrets resource learning activity enables children to compare amounts of objects and develop the skill of subitising. Each card has two sets of objects; these may be different or equal amounts. Children are encouraged to identify which group has more, less, the same and so on. Children can count the amounts to make the comparisons but subitising is encouraged where possible.

This Classroom Secrets resource learning activity enables children to develop their understanding of estimating. Practitioners should discuss how to make ‘sensible estimates’ by using their knowledge of quantities. If required, supporting adults may need to write the numerals for the children or small number cards could be used. Children then identify how many objects there are by counting. Please be aware that if children are able to subitise the amount to 5 this should be encouraged.

This Classroom Secrets resource learning activity enables children to explore combining small amounts. The small image cards can be cut out by an adult or the child could do this as part of the activity. Children are asked to place two cards in the circles, add the quantities together to work out the total. Encourage subitising where possible. Children could be given a target number, e.g. ‘Find all the ways to make 4.’

This Classroom Secrets resource learning activity enables children to make and compare different amounts. The child is given an instruction, for example: ‘Find an amount that is greater than this one’ and the supporting adult places a card in one of the circles. The child then chooses a card to place in the other circle. The adult encourages the child to talk about the different quantities and prompt appropriate language.
