Dear DfE, I very much enjoyed pulling apart your SATS papers and putting Gerald the Giraffe all over them to make them more child friendly for my class of 7 year olds to practise on! Maybe next time you could do that? Save me a job, yes? :) The Teacher Traveller

Count the Easter bunny’s ears and count the Easter eggs in the baskets. How many are there altogether? Perfect for counting in 2s and 5s :) Have fun, The Teacher Traveller

Excellent problem solving task cards encouraging children to use multiplication facts to solve the word problems. Complete with Easter eggs: '7 Easter baskets are filled with 5 eggs. How many eggs can you see in total?’ …as well as Easter Bunnies: '3 Easter bunnies are hopping on the grass. How many ears can you see in total?’ Task cards allow multiplication from 2X2 - 2X 10 and 2X5 - 10X5. Have fun, The Teacher Traveller

After finding it difficult to fit in daily maths facts fluency sessions, I have created two A4 sheets which can be printed back to back containing a wide range of maths skills that children (EYFS, Year One and Year Two) would benefit from practising every day. These can be laminated then placed upon the children’s desks as early morning work, daily maths practice, an activity for early finishers or for interventions. Encourages children to practise: Counting in multiples of two, five and ten. Doubling numbers up to 10 using a pictorial representation of ladybirds. Simple addition facts and simple subtraction facts. Number bonds to 10 using tens frame representations. Using a 100 square to find more/less of a given number, half, triple and double. The Teacher Traveller

In this activity sheet children are encouraged to find one more, one less, ten more, and ten less using a simple and clear number puzzles and a 100 square. The set up of the number puzzle grids encourage children to look for patterns within 100 squares and become accustomed to the 100 square lay out. The Teacher Traveller

The cutest little houses on the street! A variety of different house templates for children to reinforce everything they know about fact families and to enable them to create number sentence that show a relationship between a set of numbers! The Teacher Traveller

Pack contains: Price labels ranging 1p-20p Clear price labels for children to create their own Past SATS paper problem solving questions Coin recognition and matching A variety of pictures of bread A sign to display the pack in the classroom Have fun! The Teacher Traveller

Christmas tree themed maths! Christmas trees for children to add on baubles then ether subtract or add up the total amounts (we used small dot stickers, but children could paint/draw these on too!). Christmas trees for children to add on baubles then find one more one less of their chosen amount (we used small dot stickers, but children could paint/draw these on too!) Christmas tree counting - Children to count the total amount of baubles on the trees, then peg the correct numeral. Merry Christmas Everyone, The Teacher Traveller :)

30 pages of fun … To support the topic of the Gingerbread Man! My class adore this story, so I created Gingerbread Man themed resources for them to use to support my teaching and their learning. In this pack you will find… Gingerbread Man speech bubbles to encourage creative writing (2 versions included). Lined paper with a Gingerbread Man border for children to write on (my class wrote their own versions of the story!). Numbers on Gingerbread Men (I use these as flash cards, ask the children to place them into number order, daily interventions, etc). Cut and stick the gingerbread men into number order activity sheet (two versions: numbers 1-10 and numbers 11-20). Design your own Gingerbread Man sheet. Lovely Gingerbread Man themed bunting to decorate your classroom (mine is in my role play area and my writing area!). Pre writing trace the Gingerbread Man’s tracks sheet to develop fine motor skills, pencil grip and control. Number lines (two versions: numbers 1-10 and numbers 1-20). 56 Gingerbread men addition cards (completely differentiated to target a range of mathematical abilities from addition with numbers under 5 to addition with numbers over 20). I hope your class enjoy these resources as much as mine did! The Teacher Traveller

Counting on. An often enormously difficult skill to ask of children - to begin counting at a number that is not one and to sometimes count objects that are not visible. I have used this ‘counting on cookies’ pack to successfully teach children this concept and the idea is simple. A number of cookies are selected, counted and placed under the flap of the oven. The temptation to recount these cookies is automatically prevented as the cookies are hidden. Instead I teach the children to place their hand on the oven, say the amount of cookies that are in there, then continue to count the rest of the cookies on the plate! This lays the foundation for more advanced skills such as manipulating larger numbers, faster calculating and learning to apply this skill to other areas in learning in fluid and flexible ways.

Greater than and less than snowmen! Three levels of differentiation: Green boarder snowmen: Children to count the number of buttons then compare both the numbers. Blue boarder snowmen: Children to count the number of buttons, complete the addition sentence then compare the totals. Red boarder snowmen: Children to work out both addition/subtraction sentences then compare the totals. Enjoy! The Teacher Traveller

Space given in a box for children to write the total amount of aliens. 10 X A4 modelling sheets 10 X Mini activity cards 1 X Blank version for children to cut and stick their own amounts on to the moon template. Have fun! The Teacher Traveller :)

AUTUMN CONKER SUBITISING Developing children’s ability to look at a small set of objects and instantly know how many there are without counting the individual items… An essential skill known as subitising! With these conker cards children can practice saying the amount of conkers by holding them up and challenging one another… 3 different sizes available - A4, A5, A6. Have fun! The Teacher Traveller
