What’s included? This download includes x6 sheets, landscape orientation, in colour to investigate the concept ‘half’ up to 20. 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. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to investigate which numbers (from 1 to 20) can be ‘halved’. There is a introduction to ‘half’ on page one and x20 recap questions at the end. Resource layout Page 1 This is an introductory page (not numbered) to explore ‘half’ is demonstrated step by step (horizontally) across the page. Pages 2 to 5 These pages enable learners to investigate each number from 1 to 20 (in order) to discover whether it can (or cannot!) be split equally into two. Starting at number 1 each box visually shows that number of pencils with two sheets of paper positioned below. Learners draw a line from one pencil to the left sheet of paper and the next pencil to the second (right) sheet of paper, continuing to do this (alternating drawing a line to the left/right sheet of paper each time, one pencil at a time) until there aren’t any more pencils available. Underneath the image of two 'sheets of paper’, the learners circle either the tiny image of ‘tick’ / ‘cross’ to indicate whether that number can be split in half (or not). Lastly for every question is a sentence e.g. ’Half of 2 is ___ ‘ for learners to complete. Learners write the missing number on the line to complete the sentence. Where a number (e.g. 1) cannot be split equally into half and therefore the sentence - ‘Half of 1 is ___ ‘ cannot be completed the learner can instead draw a line or cross in the space, e.g. ‘Half of 1 is ___’ OR ‘Half of 1 is X’. Learners then move onto investigating the next number. Page 4 At the end of page 4 there are two larger red/green boxes for learners to write the numbers (on the left/right) which cannot/can be split equally into half. Page 5 On page 5 there are x20 recap questions in the same order as the investigation (pages 2 to 4) and using the same colour boxes for each question. The colours should help guide learners back to the question they need to check their earlier findings should they need it. Recommendations I recommend that learners explore the concept of ‘halving numbers to 20’ practically before recording their learning. Physically using coloured matchsticks or lolly sticks and a sheet of A4 folded/with a line drawn down the centre is a simple way to begin! Small coloured matchsticks could be placed on top of the pencil images each time for a learner with good fine motor control.

What’s included? This download includes four A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise matching upper and lowercase alphabet letters using an alphabet strip (showing capital letters) and carrots (for lowercase letters). Two pages include instructions on how to make a rabbit face into a ‘posting box’ with clear photos supporting each step. An empty tissue box is needed to make this resource. Dotted guide lines show where to cut. There are also two ‘slits’ which need making and a hole to be cut (inside the rabbits mouth) - these may be best made using a craft knife (used well away from little people!) This resource is designed for an adult to make ‘for’ learners to use. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed to be used by early years children and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise recognising and matching upper and lowercase alphabet letters and to become more familiar with the ‘alphabetical order’ of all alphabet letters. Resource Details The photo shows how this resource looks which complete. The idea is that learners move the capital letter alphabet strip left/right to show a different capital letter. They then ‘post’ the matching lowercase alphabet letter (carrot!) into the rabbit’s mouth. This is an ideal activity to keep learners busy and independent. I have included two versions of the letter ‘k’ as some learners may be more used to the look of one style than the other. There is also a ‘blank’ carrot included in case one gets lost.

What’s included? This game is made up of three resources. A set of x5 ‘Counting in 2’s socks’ sheets to cut up and use as cards, a set of x6 different coloured ‘Washing Line Game Boards’ and a matching set of counting in 2’s (sock!) number lines. update! Set of x7 number lines added - providing clear visual support for learners while playing this game! 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. To play this game the two resources included are both needed. What’s it for? This download includes a game (for up to x6 players) to practise ‘counting in 2’s’ (up to 50) using pairs of socks as a helpful visual guide. This game has been designed to encourage learners to think about ordering two’s numbers separately from the predictable counting pattern. Learners will still need to use their knowledge of counting in 2’s to help them but through playing this game their ability to recall the sequence of 2’s number will be called on. Resource 1 details Counting in 2’s ‘Sock number cards’ x5 sheets featuring pairs of socks numbered from 2 up to 50. Printing these ‘sock cards’ onto card (instead of paper) will prevent the numbers being visible through the paper when placed face down to play the game (helping to increase ‘fairness’ / eliminate cheating!) Resource 2 ‘Washing Line Game Boards’ x6 sheets, six different colours are included - red/yellow/green/blue/purple/pink. Simple instructions (as well as what is needed to play the game) are included at the top of every ‘Washing Line Game Board’. Resource 3 x1 sheet which includes x7 Counting in 2’s number lines to 50 with socks. There is one black and white (neutral) version and one colour to match each of the ‘Washing Line Game Boards’ so each player can have their own number line to assist them during the game (if needed). Game tips use a counting in 2’s socks number line if needed (more challenging without) Remembering where players return 2’s number cards to the grid will increase players chances of winning! to increase winning chances encourage players NOT to choose to keep the ‘same’ cards (showing the same sequence of counting in 2’s) that other players are collecting. There are not enough of every sock number card for everyone to successfully choose and use the same sock number cards for their sequences.

What’s included? This download includes three portrait orientation sheets to practise ‘counting in 2’s’ using pairs of socks as a helpful visual guide. Both resources are the same layout and design. One resource (one sheet) counts in 2’s up to 48. The other resource counts in 2’s up to 96 (across two sheets). 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 is to practise counting in 2’s (up to 48/96) and record these numbers in writing. Resource Details There is a clear space for each learner to write their name on the left of each page (vertically) and a space to record the number date (top right). Resource 1 ‘Counting in 2’s (up to 48)’ This resource is organised as x4 columns and x6 rows. There is a ‘0’ outside of the grid - learners begin by writing ‘2’. The largest number to write is ’48’. Each row includes one random ‘helping number’ to help keep learners on track as they count. The ‘helping numbers’ included are 6, 10, 20, 32, 36 and 42. Resource 2 ‘Counting in 2’s (up to 96)’ This resource is organised as x4 columns and x6 rows, repeated across both pages. There is a ‘0’ outside of the grid - learners begin by writing ‘2’. The last number to write is ’94’. Each row includes one random ‘helping number’ to help keep learners on track as they count in 2’s.

What’s included? This download includes five A4, portrait pdf sheets to investigate ‘2D shapes and their properties’, presented as a ‘workbook’ for learners to complete through investigation. A sixth sheet has also been included as a set of tangible 2D shapes for learners to hold and investigate while completing this investigation. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children (to complete with support/as a group), pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The six 2D shapes investigated in this workbook are a circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. Page 1 is the ‘workbook’ cover and includes a clear space for learners to write their name. There is related 2D shape information included on the cover for learners to read as well as a visual list of what learners will need to complete the workbook - to encourage autonomy. Pages 2 and 3 include six sets of questions (one set for each shape) all in the same layout. Learners are to complete this information so that the information becomes a set of clear, (accurate!) facts about each shape. Where learners do not know the information (to complete these questions) they can investigate each shape using the clear picture provided and count e.g. the number of sides of each shape and ‘circle’ the corners/vertices to complete the information. Additionally I have included a set of these 2D shapes to print out (onto card) and hold and use during this investigation. To complete these pages there are ‘2D shape names’ to cut out on page 4 (along the right hand side) which learners should be made aware of (dotted lines indicate where to cut). An adult could pre-cut these x6 shape names for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting frustrating/demotivating. Pages 4 and 5 include the same information (as pages 1 and 2) completed in the same layout for learners to check their findings. There are also some ‘quick match’ questions at the very end of page 5 to recap what they have learnt. Page 6 a seperate set of these 2D shapes to print out onto card and (ideally) laminate to hold and use while completing this investigation.

What’s included? This download includes four A4, (x2 landscape/x2 portrait orientation) pdf sheets to play the ‘2D Shapes Robot Game’. UPDATE! Two new LARGER game boards are now included. 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 is to help learners recognise and name 2D shapes as well as thinking about their properties e.g. the number of sides and corners/vertices. Resource Details The 2D shapes focused on in this game are investigated in this activity are semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. Learners will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game. Page 1 includes clear step by step game instructions. Page 2 includes two ‘game boards’ and a set of small 2D shapes for each player (dotted lines guide where to cut). Players will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game. An adult could pre-cut the small 2D shapes for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.

What’s included? This download includes three A4, portrait pdf sheets to label seven ‘2D shapes and their properties’ on the Robot’s control panel. 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 is to recognise/read and match words/vocabulary to 2D shape images to reinforce/develop further understanding of 2D shapes and their properties. Resource Details The seven 2D shapes investigated in this activity are a semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. Learners will need a pencil (to write their name on page 1), scissors and a glue stick to complete this activity. Page 1 features the Robot’s ‘control panel’ which has been enlarged from page 2 to provide a large size and clear space for learners to label the different properties of each shape. The dotted lines on page 1 indicate where learners should position the different labels. Learners do not cut out any part of page 1! Page 2 includes four sets of labels (there are exactly the correct amount of labels provided to complete each 2D shape featured. These labels are the names of the shapes, the number of sides each shape has, the number of vertices each shape has, whether the shapes have ‘curved’ sides (only two do - the circle and semi circle). The green ticks can be stuck next to these two shapes. All labels have dotted lines indicate where to cut. Page 3 includes the same 2D shapes on the robot’s control panel to cut out and hold (to investigate). It would be most helpful for learners to have access to a set of these while completing this activity especially for learners who do not know the information (to complete the labels). An adult could pre-cut the labels for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for 3D shapes and related words (page 1) and the answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2) in colour. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners, especially pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? Knowing these 3D shape names (and related words) is an important part of maths throughout school and in the wider world. This word search makes the spellings clear and introduces/reinforces shape related vocabulary. Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The 3D shape names (and related words) have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden ‘shape words’ below the word search. There are x16 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (backwards not forwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally. Words to find are base, face, edge, flat, curved, round, sphere, cone, cube, cuboid, prism, cylinder, pyramid, straight, vertex, hemisphere. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words, enabling all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible in order to find all hidden words. If words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Useful for… I find word searches like this are ideal for ‘quiet times’ during the day. Word searches are also ideal as an introduction to a topic, follow on activity for early finishers, a fun approach to a topic themed and as an engaging homework task - supporting reading, spelling and maths.

What’s included? This download includes nine A4, portrait pdf sheets which make a number matching set featuring x54 cards which includes all letters of the alphabet with an image to match. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is to practise identifying the initial sounds for x26 images and matching these to the written letter/sound (grapheme). Both upper and lowercase letters are including - helping to reinforce both. How to use this resource This matching activity has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on a ring. Learners look at each picture card and (if they are able) say what it is. Learners then say the initial sound for each picture and match the ‘picture’ card to the alphabet ‘letter’ card which shows the same initial sound. Once the set is matched into pairs (picture and letter cards together) learners can then order the card pairs from the beginning to the end of the alphabet or in reverse which can be much trickier! Pictures included are apple, banana, car, dog (Dachshund!), egg, frog, grass, house, ink, jam, key, lemon, milk, nine numbers, orange, pink pig, quarter, robot, sun, tree, upside-down umbrella, van, wall (not to be confused with ‘bricks’ !) xylophone, yellow yoyo, zebra. This alphabet matching set could be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to cross-check the correct orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. Games This ‘Alphabet Match’ set could also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the picture cards or all the letter cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small amount of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

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 is to practise counting up to 20 items (vehicles) and match the total number with the correct numeral/number name word label. How to use this resource This matching activity set has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each image card and count the number of vehicles before matching the picture to the numeral/number name card to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs learners can order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. Once complete the cards can be threaded back together using the hole (top left of each card). The squares are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (using sticky Velcro would assist with easy opening). Once attached the numeral cards (like 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. The cards could also be used as a 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. Games This ‘number match’ set could 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 (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the vehicle cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small amount of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

What’s included? This download includes x7 A4, portrait pdf 2D shape sheets featuring x36 matching cards. 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 resources is to name, count (the sides of) and match 2D shapes to the correct word label. There are x4 ‘answer cards’ included in the set which clearly list the pairs of shapes (pictures and names) on page 4. Learners could use these to help them match the cards or refer to them after they have completed the matching activity, encouraging autonomy. How to use this resource This matching activity has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each 2D shape image and (if they are able) name this. Learners can also count the number of sides of each shape and match the picture to the name label to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs (images and labels together) learners can then order the pairs from the least number of sides to the most (or vice versa!) 2D shapes included are oval, ellipse, semi circle, circle, triangle, equilateral triangle, right-angled triangle, square, rectangle, trapezium, parallelogram, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon. This 2D shape matching set could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help remember the number of sides and/or cross-check the name/spelling of individual shapes if unsure when writing these down. This ‘shape match’ set could also be used for a variety of ways, both inside and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the 2D shape pictures cards or all the name label cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up.

What’s included? x7 sheets each sheet with x12 cards to read and match (x84 cards in total). Portrait orientation, pdf format (x4 sets included). Who’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics picture and word matching set has been designed to be a simple activity to consolidate learning. This set focuses on ALL sounds in Phase 2 s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently and/or for learners to revisit these sounds with an adult. This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds. This resource is also ideal for learners with additional learning needs. How to use it? Each learner matches the ‘word’ and 'picture’ cards as pairs. There are x4 colour sets included (indicated by the outer line colour of each box) to help keep cards in order. The red set includes words/pictures which only include sounds s, a, t, p, i, n. The orange set includes words/pictures which only include sounds s, a, t, p, i, n AND m, d, g, o, c, k. The yellow set only includes sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k AND ck, e, b, r, u, h. The green set includes sounds in all of Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, b, r, u, h) but with a particular focus on the sounds f, ff, l, ll, ss… Resource Details… ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out in the order that the Phase 2 sounds have been learnt. The words included are listed here: Red Set pin tin tap pants sap (some learners may not be familiar with what ‘sap’ is) ant Orange Set cap pink man pig cogs dig Yellow Set crab hat peg bed pen ted ten red tick bin rock stick bun hut bug mug sun socks Green Set truck cup octopus (the middle 'o’can be pronounced ‘u’ making this sound more difficult for learners to sound out so is red to alert learners that support here may be needed ) slug plug clock lips fig dress handcuffs bull lock Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? x12 sheets for all Phase 2 sounds. Grapheme/picture cards in landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are just learning these sounds for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds. This resource is also ideal for older learners with additional learning needs who need to revisit these sounds. What’s it for? This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce all of Phase 2 sounds - sounding out simple words (all only using sounds within Phase 2) then checking to see if they were correct, promoting autonomy. How to use it? Print resources onto card rather than paper, cut following dotted lines and place the ‘word cards’ on a table top with the last section folded backwards (where the ‘dashed lines’ indicate) to ‘hide’ the image behind the word. Learners sound out and read each word, then can check by looking behind at the hidden (folded back) image to see if they read the word correctly. With the end section folded back these cards can ‘stand up’ on a table top rather than being laid flat, giving them an interactive feel.
