Alternatively they could just be used as part of a math display. What is included? · 1-10 flash cards with objects · 1-10 flash cards with counting fingers

Set of 12 word and picture flash cards showing the months of the year. Why do you need this? Flashcards help students learn the sequence and order of the months of the year. Teachers can use the flashcards to engage students in activities where they arrange the months in chronological order or identify which month comes before or after a given month. Flashcards serve as visual aids to support students’ understanding of abstract concepts like time and sequence. The visual representation of the months helps reinforce learning and provides a reference point for students during calendar activities. How and when might you use this? Teachers can use these cards for small group lessons, maths centers, and vocabulary reinforcement. They can also be used for display. What is included? 12 word and picture flash cards showing each of the months of the year.

Basic counting to 10 worksheets. 8 different worksheets to count the pictures and write the number. Why do you need this? Counting objects and writing the corresponding numbers is a fundamental mathematical skill that children need to develop. These worksheets provide structured practice opportunities for students to strengthen their counting skills and reinforce number recognition. Worksheets that require students to count objects and write the corresponding numbers help reinforce the concept of one-to-one correspondence which is foundational for understanding the relationship between numbers and quantities. How and when might you use this? These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways: · During maths lessons as a whole class activity to reinforce counting skills · During small group activities focussed on counting skills · As independent practice to complete individually · As homework assignments · As a warm up activity at the beginning of a maths lesson to review previously learned counting skills What’s included? 8 different counting to 10 worksheets with different items to count on each worksheet: crayons, farm animals, vehicles, dinosaurs, insects, zoo animals, fruit and cubes.

Booklet to practice writing numbers 0-9 and counting. Why do you need this? 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.
