Cut out a key for each student to colour in (see Key Cards) Students colour in the key, so they know which colour represents which number solution. Students then complete each calculation in the image and colour it with the correct colour. All calculations use basic arithmetic of + - × ÷ with a few calculations using two operations. They can then add their own decorations to the card and write a festive message inside.

This chess board can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Chess is an accessible game that practices many areas of the curriculum from translation, alpha-numeric coordinates, using key terminology around number, and shape. It also helps to develop learning skills such as following instructions and memorising rules. Suggested uses: Print and laminate to use as a gameboard between pairs Crop the image into a slideshow presentation Crop the image into an interactive slide Print, laminate and pin to a display board This resource is part of the Head Start Ultimate Free Printables Pack https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12934415

This negative number line can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Many areas of the curriculum require knowledge of negative numbers including the four operations, real life problems with negative numbers, order of operations and ordering numbers. From my experience, vertical negative number lines can encourage a deeper understanding of the concepts of operations with negative numbers, as well as their application to more real life problems such as temperature, where the scale is usually vertical. Suggested uses: Print out each A4 page and cut out each diagram. Stick each diagram together using the tab to create a large vertical display of negative numbers. Note: Each diagram is around 20cm tall so printing full size will extend over 2m. If this is too large, print 2 pages per page.

These blank 2- and 3-set Venn diagrams can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Venn diagrams are introduced and used throughout the curriculum for sorting, interpreting data, and cardinality. Suggested uses: Print individual copies to cut out / stick into exercise books and write on Print and laminate the large Venn diagrams to use as a mini whiteboard (with a pen) Crop the diagrams into a slideshow presentation Crop the image into an interactive slide Print, enlarge, laminate and pin to a display board This resource is part of the Head Start Ultimate Free Printables Pack https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12934415

This Prime Numbers List from 1-100 can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Prime numbers appear regularly in the maths curriculum. Mainly students need to be able to recognise them but they can also be useful when thinking about divisibility, factors and multiples and prime factors. Suggested uses: Print individual copies to stick into exercise books Print and laminate to use as a mini whiteboard (with a pen) Crop the image into a slideshow presentation Crop the image into an interactive slide Print, laminate and pin to a display board BONUS ACTIVITY: Create a piece of artwork that represents the prime numbers up to 20 or 100. Explain how this helps you remember the prime numbers to your partner / the class.

These dice can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Add the element of chance into games and other activities that practice many skills across the curriculum including number and calculation, plotting coordinates and translating objects. Each dice comes with a minimum of three options: Blank Dots Numbers Other dice include: Shapes Roman numerals (coming soon) 0-9 and 1-10 numbered dice This resource is part of the Head Start Ultimate Free Printables Pack https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12934415

These two multiplication tables can be used to facilitate learning both in class and at home. Multiplication of two numbers (repeated addition) is a fundamental skill that is demonstrated through many other parts of the curriculum such as finding the area of a shape, calculations with fractions, working out percentages of an amount, and money problems.
