The first tables to be learnt. These activities are suitable for Y2 and up. Links to website with Quizlet flashcards and customisable printables. Lesson suggestion (tables game), and sample test and set of printable flashcards included.

Flash game. Teacher reads out an addition under 20 (eg 5+9). Child with correct answer flips the corresponding number to reveal a letter. As letters are revealed, pupils try to make words on their whiteboards. Winner is the one with most words.

Fun whole class PowerPoint activity for primary or KS3 classes: English with a bit of maths. Great for starters or plenaries. Teacher calls out a number (eg 12) which is the sum of two digits showing on the screen. Pupils choose two numbers (eg 8 + 4) that add up to the teacher’s number and, if correct, they turn those two cards to reveal two letters. As more letters are revealed, the spelling begins: pupils make as many words as they can. They are scored according to the number of letters they contain. The teacher may decide to set a minimum word length. The maths element can be made more difficult for more able classes ( eg '12 is the product of of which two numbers? ’ - Pupils could choose 4 and 3, 6 and 2, 12 and 1). Or it can be omitted entirely, and pupils simply select numbers to turn. There are 8 games included in the PowerPoint. And some frantic music. Turn your computer sound down if it gets too much!

This is a single worksheet with answer sheet as shown in the sample.

This is a single worksheet with accompanying answer sheet as shown in the sample.

Five differentiated folders of worksheets, all with answers. Levels go from 1p and 2p coins in folder 1 to 1p,2p,5p,10p,20p,50p in folder 5.

Selection of presentations for whole class introductions, and worksheets for individual work. Y1 objectives : identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+) and equals (=) signs solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = ? − 9

A PDF presentation on number bonds to 20 for whole class introduction, plus 5 worksheets with answers for individual pupil work. Y1 objectives : read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+) and equals (=) signs solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = ? − 9

Two fully resourced lessons on time for Y1. Lesson plans, presentations, time activity cards and worksheets included. Presentation notes have also been included, which contain further teaching suggestions. (Images in this document would also be good printed for display.) There are five worksheets in each of the worksheet folders. Answers are included.

A PowerPoint game to reinforce learning of number bonds to 10. Pupils have to find pairs of numbers that make 10 in order to win a series of toys and place them on a shelf. Wrong answers send them back to the start of the game. Year 1 objectives: -solve one-step problems that involve addition -represent and use number bonds within 20

A zip file containing 4 folders, each with 10 worksheets plus answers. The 10 worksheets are all different from each other, but are at the same level, so are ideal for repeated practice of essential skills. There is a section on the sheets where pupils set personal targets. The aim is that, with daily practice - say over two weeks, they should increase accuracy and reduce time. The first folder is straightforward (8-3=?). The others become more challenging (eg 8-?=5). Appropriate for KS1 and for older children who have not mastered basic skills.

Four folders of worksheets plus answers for speed practice of tables. The first folder is on the 1, 2, 5, 10 tables, the second on 2,3,5,10, the third on 3,5,10, 11 and the fourth, 2,3,4,11. Ideal for daily practice of the easier tables. For KS1 and older learners who haven't mastered the basics. 40 questions on each sheet. The idea is that children should be encouraged to beat their personal best.

Inside the zip file there are 4 folders, each containing 10 worksheets plus answers. The worksheets are all different, but all at the same level. They provide daily speed practice for children working on their number bonds to 10. The exercises should be timed, and pupils should be encouraged to set themselves targets which they write in the space provided. Folders 2-4 provide an introduction to the mental processes needed for subtraction. The questions follow the following format: Folder 1: 2+7=? Folder 2: 2+?=9 Folder 3: ?+7=9 Folder 4: Random

The zip file contains 12 folders, each with 5 versions of a worksheet. The topics covered are taken from the Y1 statutory curriculum for mathematics and include the following: • Counting forwards and backwards in 1s and 2s from a given number • Pictorial counting and addition • Addition and subtraction within 20 • One step word problems to 20 • Before, after and between given numbers • Money (5p, 2p and 1p coins) • Analogue time to the hour and the half hour With the exception of some of the very simple number activities, answer sheets are provided. In addition there are two single worksheets on shape recognition. A summary of the National Curriculum for mathematics is included for parents’ reference. There is also a PDF help sheet with ideas for structuring a 1 hour maths lesson, including simple ideas for mental and oral starters.
