What’s included? This download includes two sets of three A4, portrait pdf sheets ( a black and white AND colour version) to investigate which colour is each pupil’s favourite (designed for a class of 30 - up to 32 spaces available). Learners transfer the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart and answering questions about this. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details There are x3 sheets in total for the B&W AND colour set. Page 1 is to be used in landscape orientation (to collect the data using the tally system). Pages 2 and 3 are both to be used in portrait orientation. Page 2 is designed to use the data collected on the tally chart (on page 1) to create a block graph to present this information. Page 3 asks questions related to the data collected and recorded on pages 1 and 2. The ‘colour’ version has been designed to make the meaning even clearer to learners, especially when plotting the bar chart and recording the colour names in answers to the questions on page 3. Spellings for all colours are clearly displayed at the top (of page 3). Page 1 Learners are to ask up to x32 people ‘What is your favourite colour?’ recording each response using the tally system. For learners who are new to/less familiar with 'how to tally’ - tallying is modelled on the right side of page 2. To begin at the top of page 1 is a space to record ‘how many pupils’ are present (in class) that day to question. Once the data has been collected the number of tallies for each colour can be counted. The total of all colour groups can be added together to check if the same number of people identified as being present and available to ask ‘What is your favourite colour?’ matches the number of tally marks actually recorded. An important lesson in careful, accurate data collection. There is a space for two additional colours to be written if needed (in the boxes on the right side of the tally chart). Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart presented on page 2. Learners colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes’ for the number of tallies recorded for each favourite colour. There is space on the bar chart for up to 32 people (for each colour group). There is also a space to record the data collected for up to two additional colours (on the right side of the bar chart) if needed. Page 3 The questions on page 3 link to the information collected/recorded on pages 1 and 2. There is also an opportunity to practise both reading a tally and recording the correct number this shows and recording a number as a tally.

What’s included? This download includes x4 A4, portrait pdf sheets in black and white and colour. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, 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 introduce learners to tallying - how to record tally marks carefully and correctly as well as providing an opportunity to both read and write their own tallies (on page 4). This resource has been created as an introduction to ‘tallying’ prior to working on a data handling activity. Recording accurate tally marks is a key part of data handling and an essential skill to record data correctly. It is important that learners are given an opportunity to practise tallying, ready to use the skill in a real-life activity situation. Resource Details The first x3 pages introduce tallying in a step-by-step way, showing learners what a ‘tally’ is, what it is used for and how to write tally marks correctly to record an accurate amount/score. The last, page 4, provides an opportunity for learners to read five tallies and write the total (up to 23) as well as record the correct number of tallies for five numbers (up to 24). Pages 1 to 3 have been designed for an adult to go through with a learner/group of learners in a step-by-step way. Page 1 Learners are introduced to what ‘tallying’ and a ‘tally mark’ is and how tallies are written. Page one clearly shows how tallies one to four are written and how the fifth tally mark is written differently. Page 2 Learners are introduced to ‘tallies’ being written as groups of five and introduces learners to how to write tally marks up to 10, providing an opportunity for learners to write their own tally marks to 10. Page 3 Learners are introduced to how to write tally marks up to 20, providing an opportunity for learners to write their own tally marks to 10 again - this time beginning at a ‘starting dot’ for each tally and tracing over the grey lines to write the tally marks correctly. Page 4 This has also been designed learners to practise reading and writing tally marks. Learners are to record the total number of tallies (writing the number) and record their own tally marks for each number provided.

What’s included? x6 ‘yellow themed’ pages of x4 ‘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 Yellow numbers, black box lines, NO vertical count on/back tracks above x4 number lines 0 - 10 Yellow numbers, yellow box lines, NO vertical count on/back tracks above (all yellow) x4 number lines 0 - 10 Black numbers, yellow box lines, NO vertical count on/back tracks above x4 number lines 0 - 10 Yellow numbers, yellow box lines, yellow vertical count on/back tracks above (all yellow) x4 number lines 0 - 10 Yellow numbers, yellow box lines, black vertical count on/back tracks above x4 number lines 0 - 10 Black numbers, yellow box lines, yellow 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. The black text versions makes this resource easy to photocopy and clear to view if placed under tracing paper to enable learners to practice their handwriting of number formation. Useful for… I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

What’s included? This download includes one resource - two pages featuring x12 ‘half’ problems (using fruit/veg) to complete - each of the x12 questions involves sharing the total amount (from 1 to 12) into two equal groups - or ‘halves’. The learner will discover which numbers between 1 and 12 can and cannot be halved and of those numbers which can be halved equally learners will identify how much ‘half’ is. Resource layout The learner can draw a line from each fruit/veg to each ‘plate’ pictured below to systematically share out the total number of items (fruit/veg) each time until all have been shared (or not!) I find it helpful for learners to say out loud “One for you and one for me” as each item is being shared/distributed to each plate either physically or as the line is being drawn linking the fruit/veg to each plate, every time. Where the total number is ‘even’ (and the fruit/veg can be shared out equally) the learner can write the number of fruit/veg on one plate (the ‘half’ amount) on the line underneath at the end of the question (e.g.) 'Half of 2 is 4 For the even numbers (which can successfully be split equally into half!) the learner can ‘circle’ the green ‘tick’ displayed, for the odd numbers (which cannot be shared equally into half!) the learner can ‘circle’ the red ‘cross’ displayed before moving on to the next question. At the end of the second sheet there are x12 matching questions about each individual number to recap on which of the numbers between 1 and 12 can/cannot be split equally into half. The colour of the box around each question correlates to the colour of the question completed above guiding the learner more clearly (visually) back to each question box above to check their finding if needed. There is also a space to write those numbers which can be split equally into half together (the even numbers!) and those which cannot be split equally into half can be written together (the odd numbers!). The questions in all boxes have been designed to look the same in order that the learner can make the discovery that ‘even’ numbers can be shared into two equal 'halves’ (and odd numbers cannot!) for themselves. Once complete this resource makes a useful reference tool to refer back to as needed to assist young learners during various maths linked activities. This resource uses ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font in sizes 18/22/25 making the text and numbers easy to read as well as modelling the process of halving numbers (from 1 to 12) clearly to young learners.

What’s included? This download includes four A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘counting objects and ordering numbers to 10’. This activity has been designed to use with miniature ‘Easter chicks’ as pictured in the photos. These sheets are intended to be printed onto card to improve durability (and usability!) How to use this resource This resource has been designed to be a ‘table top’ activity for learners to explore independently. There are two pages featuring green boxes with different amounts of eggs (between 0 and 10) on each. Learners are to count out the corresponding number of Easter chicks onto each of these eggs (pictured on the cards). There is a sheet featuring ‘numbered eggs’. These are intended to be cut out and used to ‘label’ the groups of chicks once they have been counted out. I have included ‘egg holder’ (with grass pictured on each base) which ‘hold’ each numbered egg. These resources were designed for an adult to pre-cut all items so that all items can be presented to learners as a crisp, fresh new activity to investigate and explore. Who’s it for? 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 Page 1 includes x11 numbered eggs (0-10) with dotted lines around the outside of each to guide cutting. There are two boxes at the top which can both be cut out and displayed with the activity to guide learners/support adults with what the activity is for and questions to ask/think about to learners them on task. Pages 2 and 3 include x11 rectangular boxes (with green outlines), each displaying a different number of eggs between 0 and 10. The idea is that these are cut out and placed on a table top along with a shallow bowl of ‘Easter chicks’ for learners to use to count out the matching number of chicks onto each egg. Once all ‘egg cards’ have been completed learners can then ‘label’ these groups of eggs and chicks with the numbered eggs’ (page 1) Page 4 includes x10 ‘grass numbered egg holders’ for learners (or adults) to display the ‘numbered eggs’ in. Rather than having all items laid flat on the table top, the holders enable the numbered eggs to ‘stand up’. Simple instructions for how to assemble these holders are included at the top of page 4.

What’s included? This download includes two A4, portrait pdf sheets to make number fans featuring numerals from 0 to 10. Each number is a different colour - in rainbow colour order… How to use this resource Number fans can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. Number fans can be used as a personal reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. Number fans can also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors. The rainbow colours may help some learners not yet confident with number recognition, who know colours. E.g. if you ask, ‘Can you show me number 3?’ - this could be followed by ‘Can you show me number 3, the orange number? Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.

These could be ideal where you wish learners to access the contents of the ring e.g. to order the numbers and come in a variety of colours. Alternatively I have found standard metal keyring also work well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the ring. I recommend that each number is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf. Important message… ANY issues with this number fan please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes AND I am happy to create a new resource if you have an idea just let me know - I’d really love to hear from you! Feedback of these resources would be wonderful! Thank you!
