2D Shapes Activity A fun Maths activity to introduce children to 2D shapes. The activity includes interactive activities for the children to join in with. The activity shows different 2D shapes and describes their properties. Children then have to guess the 2D shape that is being described or the 2D shape that is being slowly revealed. Children then have to explain why a shape eg a circle is not a triangle, this encourages children to use the vocabulary to describe 2D shapes and demonstrates their understanding of 2D shapes. There is also a shape spotting activity using pictures and an odd one out activity again encouraging children to describe and talk about the 2D shapes. My class have enjoyed using this PowerPoint to learn about 2D shapes and it encourages lots of talk about 2D shapes. The activity could be used as a whole class activity or in small intervention groups. Aimed at Early Years and Year 1 children. For my 3D shapes PowerPoint see https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/3d-shapes-12176751 For my 2D and 3D Shapes Bundle see https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2d-and-3d-shape-powerpoints-12176770 2D Shapes Activity Cards A set of 25 Maths Activity Cards to support children when learning about 2D shapes. The activities in this set include drawing 2D shapes, recognising 2D shapes, finding the odd shape out, shape spotting and comparing 2D shapes. The cards can be used to encourage children to discuss 2D shapes using shape related language. These cards can be laminated for repeated use during Maths lessons or could be printed on a smaller scale and stuck in Maths books for children to complete. I have also laminated these 2D shapes activity cards to be completed during Early Work Activities or independent activities so as to reinforce learning about 2D shapes. These activity cards are aimed at Early Years and Year 1 children.

Number Bond Tests A set of 14 colour coded number bond tests to test for quick recall of number bonds to 5, 10 and 20. Each test has ten questions to complete and there are two tests for each colour of the rainbow. Each child also has a blank rainbow to colour, they can colour each band once they are secure on that set of number bonds eg red number bonds are making 5 therefore once children are secure at making 5 they would colour the red band of the rainbow. The aim is for children to colour the whole rainbow. These tests cover number bonds for making numbers to 5, making numbers to 10 and making numbers to 20. The tests can be used with a timer to check how secure children are with number bond recall. Children enjoy working their way through the colours of the rainbow and if not secure can repeat tests again and try to beat their previous score. Suitable for Early Years and Key Stage 1 children. Multiplication Tests A set of 14 colour coded multiplication tests to test for quick recall of multiplications to x12. Each test has thirteen questions to complete and there are two tests for each colour of the rainbow. Each child also has a blank rainbow to colour, they can colour each band once they are secure on that set of multiplications eg red multiplications are x2 and x10 therefore once children are secure at x2 and x10 they would colour the red band of the rainbow. The aim is for children to colour the whole rainbow. These tests cover multiplications from x0 to x12 starting with x2 and x10 and ending with a test of all multiplications. The tests can be used with a timer to check how secure children are with multiplication recall. Children enjoy working their way through the colours of the rainbow and if not secure can repeat tests again and try to beat their previous score. Suitable for Key Stage 1 children and Lower Key Stage 2 children.

Children can practise counting the dots or can place objects such as counters over the dots to practise counting to 10. Each card displays the number too so children start to associate the number of objects with the numeral. These cards can be laminated for continued use. Match Numerals, Pictures and Words A set of matching cards for numbers 0 - 10. Children have to match the numeral, picture and word. They could also use these cards to order numbers from 0 - 10, order the pictures from 0 - 10 or order the number words from zero to ten. Pictorial Representations A set of 4 Maths activities to support children to learn to count and to recognise numbers 0 - 10 using pictorial representations. The activities include ordering towers from 0 - 10, counting objects and writing numebrs 0 - 10, drawing objects to represent numbers 0 - 10 and playing Spot it for numbers and pictorial representations for numbers 0 - 10. These activities can be laminated for continued use. Writing Numbers 0 - 10 A set of 6 activities to support children to learn to write numbers 0 - 10. The activities include practising writing numbers, filling in missing numbers, creating a number line, tracing over numbers and writing the number of objects. These sheets can be laminated so that they can be used again and again. Aimed at Early Years and Key Stage 1 children or those who need extra support to learn to write numbers 0 - 10.

Maths Exit Tickets A set of 50 Maths exit tickets based on the Year 1 Maths curriculum. Exit tickets can be used at the end of a lesson to assess children’s knowledge and understanding. They can be used to assess what the children have learnt during the lesson or their prior knowledge. These Maths exit tickets can be used to assess Maths knowledge about number. Each ticket contains a Maths problem for the children to solve. The Maths problems include missing numbers in number sentences, counting in 2s, 5s and 10s, place value, one more and one less. These exit tickets can be printed and laminated or displayed on the Interactive Whiteboard. Each child could solve the same problem or they could all have their own ticket - this method is useful for differentiating and assessing the Maths knowledge of specific children. Phonics Exit Tickets A set of 39 phonics exit tickets based on the Year 1 English curriculum. Exit tickets can be used at the end of a lesson to assess children’s knowledge and understanding. They can be used to assess what the children have learnt during the lesson or their prior knowledge. These phonics exit tickets can be used to assess phonics knowledge. Each ticket contains a grapheme and words that the children could use with the grapheme missing. Children can therefore say one of the words from their card or can work out the words and then see if they can think of their own word. These exit tickets can be printed and laminated or displayed on the Interactive Whiteboard. Each child could answer the same question or they could all have their own ticket - this method is useful for differentiating and assessing the phonics knowledge of specific children. Aimed at Early Years and Key Stage 1 children.
