Word search Number names to twenty x3 versions

(0)
What’s included? This download includes six pages (x6 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for number names from ‘one’ to ‘twenty’ (page 1) and the answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2). The wordsearch letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young readers especially pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Knowing these number names (words) is also an important part of maths in these year groups as questions and information often includes the number name as the written word (e.g. ‘three’) instead of the more easily recognisable numeral (e.g. ‘3’). Resource layout The twenty number name words have been organised into four groups of five, clearly showing all hidden number words in order up to twenty. There are x20 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (up and down - both directions). Directional arrows on the answer sheet (page 2) make it clear exactly where to look if learners get stuck. The version of this word search which includes numerals is ideal for those learners either needing the additional support of having the numeral AND the number name shown together. For learners who would like an extra challenge, the numerals from 1 - 20 are all also hidden within the wordsearch. Once the learner has located each of these they could be circled on the wordsearch and ticked off in the box below. The numerals have been included in a variety of font styles to encourage learners to get used to recognising numerals written differently. On the colour/black and white versions of the word search there is a space in the four boxes (under the wordsearch where the hidden words are displayed) for learners to write the numerals next to the number names themselves. On all versions of this word search there is a space for learners to write their name (at the base of the sheet) and to record the number date (top, left). Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible - if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused, or the black and white version is a good version for photocopying. Important message…* ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback of this resource would be brilliant. Thank you! **New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available!

Counting in 10's to 100 Cut/stick activity

Counting in 10's to 100 Cut/stick activity

(0)
What’s included? This pdf download includes x3 pages designed in landscape orientation featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting in 10’s up to 100. This resource has been designed in black and white for easy, clear printing. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception. This has been designed as a ‘cut and stick’ activity for learners who may find ‘writing’ numbers challenging or those who love to cut and stick! The numbers to cut out are positioned at the bottom of the sheet - these could be pre-cut by an adult to speed up the activity or to support learners who find cutting challenging/demotivating. Cutting ‘dots’ are included to guide the children in where to cut ‘out’ (rather than cut ‘up’ !) the numbers! Resource layout Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the numbers easy to read and the simple layout makes the process of counting in 10’s visually clear to young learners. The headings are in the same font - size 20 and the instructions are size 16. Page 1 The first page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can cut and stick the correct 10’s number. The numbers ’30’ and ‘100’ have already been typed in the boxes, leaving x8 number gaps for the learner to complete. With two completed numbers to help this is the least challenging sheet in this set. Page 2 The second page also has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can stick the correct 10’s number. This blank version can be printed and the adult can write some more of the 10’s numbers in, (still leaving gaps for the learner) to complete the boxes. If given to a learner as it is (without any numbers written on) this page (page 2) is the more challenging sheet in this set, particularly as the numbers to ‘cut out’ are intentionally ‘mixed up’. Page 3 The last, page 3 is the answers page - ALL 10’s numbers to 100 have been typed in the boxes. This makes page 3 a helpful reference sheet which learners could use to check their answers themselves. Page 3 could be used as a reference resource for display.

Addition sums blank Rainbow themed / B&W

(0)
What’s included? x3 sets of blank addition sums, x1 black and white and x2 rainbow themed, portrait orientation, pdf format. Resource layout Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the number signs + = easy to read and the large boxes model a clear layout of the addition process to young learners. The portrait format provides optimal space for each sum, a good sized box enables learners to place small objects and draw these to count and record the total amount. There is a line underneath each box on which to write the numbers. This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse. This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa. Recommendations The simple lay out of each (blank) addition sum is an easy to use (and re-use!) resource. Numbers can be written on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) either in the larger box or on the line underneath each box. Small objects can be placed in each box (I have successfully used small coloured matchsticks with this resource if these are not deemed a choking hazard for your little learner/s). Once the correct number of matchsticks/items have been counted out into the larger boxes (and the corresponding number has been written underneath) the matchsticks/objects can then be moved to the ‘total’ or ‘=’ box to find to whole number (when all matchsticks/objects are combined). The answer to the sum can then be recorded ‘in’ or ‘under’ the large box at the end of the sum (on the right side). The black and white version is ideal for photocopying, the coloured version makes each separate sum clear plus I know how important colour can be for little learners!

Counting in 10's to 100 With number guide

(0)
What’s included? This pdf download includes x3 pages designed in landscape orientation featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting up to 100 in 10’s. This resource has been designed in black and white for easy, clear printing. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception. Resource layout The simple lay out of pairs of hands, clearly showing ten fingers in each (blank) box is an easy to use (and re-use!) resource. Numbers can be written straight onto the sheet (and wiped off if laminated). Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the numbers easy to read and the simple layout makes the process of counting in 10’s visually clear to young learners. Page 1 The first page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can write the correct 10’s number. There is a reference above (showing all 10’s numbers in order to 100) - to support less able learners/learners ‘new’ to ‘counting in 10’s’. The numbers 10, 50 and 100 have already been typed in the boxes, leaving x7 number gaps for the learner to complete. With three completed numbers and a reference guide clearly displayed above this is the least challenging sheet in this set. Page 2 The second page is the same design (x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can write the correct 10’s number). As on page 1 there is a reference above (showing all 10’s numbers in order to 100) - to support less able learners/learners ‘new’ to ‘counting in 10’s’. Page 2 is a blank version which, when printed and an adult could write some of the 10’s numbers in, leaving gaps for the learner to write the remaining 10’s numbers in. If given to a learner as it is (without any numbers written on) this page is the more challenging sheet in this set. Page 3 The last page (3) is also the same design layout, however ALL 10’s numbers to 100 are included in the boxes. This makes page 3 a helpful reference/answer sheet which learners can use to check their answers themselves. Recommendations This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse.

Counting in 10’s to 100 Circle cards x7 colours

(0)
What included? One pdf with x7 sets of counting in 10’s (circle) cards, x6 colours plus grey. Each sheet includes numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 and one ‘blank’ card in same style. Colours (and order) of the ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ are red (page 1), yellow (page 2), green (page 3), blue (page 4), purple (page 5) pink (page 6) and grey (page 7). All sheets are portrait orientation. What are they for? The circles can be cut out and used to practise/check ‘counting in 10’s’ to 100 using the image of 'ten fingers’ (on hands!) as a clear visual guide. These have been designed to be simple and ideal to use in various ways to practise and reinforce counting in 10’s to 100. Suggestions include: Game Each learner needs one set of coloured cards each. To play game circle cards can be sorted into colours and shuffled. Cards to be placed face-down in a grid (in random order). Players take turns to turn over one card at a time. If a player reveals their ‘own’ colour the card is kept, if it is not that player’s colour the card is returned to where it was taken from in the grid. The winner is the first player to collect all x10 cards (in their colour set) and position these cards in the correct order from 10 to 100. Treasure hunt These cards could be used for a coloured ‘treasure hunt’ where one set of cards are hidden within a specified area for learners to find, then order (once all colours in set have been found). Various other games could be invented using these cards. Circle sheets are best printed on card (or printed on paper and backed onto card) to ensure the images/numbers are not visible through the paper when reversed during game. See ‘recommendations’ below… Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception. Recommendations This PDF has been designed to print, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Print off as many sets as needed. Quality/durability will be best when printed onto ‘card’ (instead of paper) OR print onto paper, back onto card and laminate to keep for longer. Always cut off sharp corners when laminating, to give a safe, smooth ‘rounded’ edge. Useful for The clear design makes this a clear guide for counting in 10’s, useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

Number bonds to 10 ‘Post vans’ in order Link and match

(0)
What’s included? This download includes two A4 pages (landscape orientation) with x10 number bonds to 10 themed around postal delivery. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as perhaps some children in year two or students needing additional learning support. This resource has been designed around a ‘postal’ theme with 'vehicle lovers’ in mind as to motivate our learners linking to personal interests and real life experiences wherever possible can be a powerful way to inspire and engage. Resource layout Page 1 In the upper section there is a row of ten tower blocks with a numbered main door. In the middle and lower section are two rows of five postal vans, each with a number and that same number of letters (envelopes). The learner is to match each number on the postal vans with the number of the tower block by drawing a line to connect each number bond pair (which makes 10). Page 2 Shows all number bonds matched (the answers) clearly displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Lines can be drawn on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) using a ruler to show accurate matching. The numbers on the doors of the tower blocks are size 14 ‘Avenir’ font. The numbers on the postal vans are also Avenir font - size 20. The headings are ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font, size 16. This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Useful for The unique, postal themed design makes this ‘number bonds to 10’ resource useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

Number bonds to 10 ‘Post vans’ random order Link and match

(0)
What’s included? This download includes two A4 pages (landscape orientation) with x10 number bonds to 10 (in random order) themed around postal delivery. These number bonds to 10 have been arranged in random order and without numbers (on the vans) making this more challenging than my other very similar item available (for free!) in my TES shop ‘Number bonds to 10 ‘Post vans’ in order Link and match’. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as perhaps some children in year two or students needing additional learning support. This resource has been designed around a ‘postal’ theme with 'vehicle lovers’ in mind as to motivate our learners linking to personal interests and real life experiences wherever possible can be a powerful way to inspire and engage. Resource layout Page 1 In the upper section there is a row of ten tower blocks with a numbered main door. In the middle and lower section are two rows of five postal vans, each with a number and that same number of letters (envelopes). The learner is to match each number on the postal vans with the number of the tower block by drawing a line to connect each number bond pair (which makes 10). Page 2 Shows all number bonds matched (the answers) clearly displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Resource details Lines can be drawn on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) using a ruler to show accurate matching. The numbers on the doors of the tower blocks are size 14 ‘Avenir’ font. The headings are ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font, size 16. This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Useful for The unique, postal themed design makes this ‘number bonds to 10’ resource useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers. Online learning This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.

Number lines 0 - 20 with/without vertical count on/back tracks

(0)
What’s included? This download includes two black and white versions of number lines to 20. Each page shows four ‘zero to twenty’ number lines one with vertical black counting tracks (above), one without - both in landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? These simple number lines to 20 have been carefully designed for pupils in years one and two as well as early years children and students needing additional learning support. Resource layout There are x4 number lines from 0 - 20 on each page with plenty of space between each number line. The numbers on these number lines are size 15 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. These simple number lines (with/without vertical counting tracks) can be used in a variety of ways though primarily to model/practise counting on and back to 20 from zero, knowing which number comes before/next or is one more/one less and are ideal to practise counting with ‘jumps’ to add and subtract numbers within 20. The landscape format provides optimal space for drawing ‘jumps’ between numbers to track counting on and back both above and below each number line. Recommendations Different numbers could be covered to encourage learners to identify which number comes before/next. The black text makes this resource easy to photocopy. Useful for… I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

2D shapes (and properties) name game

2D shapes (and properties) name game

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x2 pages, portrait orientation, in pdf format. What is it? This is a simple game for two players to reinforce 2D shape names and the number of sides each shape has. The game includes two boards on page 2 (one for each player) with a space for each player to write their names on the line above. All that is needed in addition is a die (dice). One to share is best to promote turn-taking. Players take turns to roll the die. The number on the die indicates the number of sides of the shape e.g. a circle has ‘one’ side therefore if the player rolls a ‘one’ with the die the ‘circle’ can be ‘ticked off’ on the board. Alternatively a counter/‘matching 2D plastic/wooden shape’ could be placed on top of each shape on the board once the shape has been ‘rolled’. The first player to tick off (or cover up!) all 2D shapes on their board is the ‘winner’ ! Clear visual instructions are included on page 1 of this resource which the players could be encouraged to read themselves before playing the game. Who’s it for? This ‘2D shape name game’ resource has been designed for early years and pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s needed? One die (dice) to share or one each. Foam dice are great as really quiet! Optional A shallow box, e.g. half of an empty cereal box laid flat on its back with front removed (ideally lined with a piece ‘felt’ fabric to soften sound) to roll the die into could be used to avoid dice rolling away (e.g. off a table top). This should avoid any momentum of the game being interrupted while searching for lost dice ! Resource layout The instruction text is size 14 ‘Avenir’ font. Instructions are included on page 1, the game itself (x2 game boards) are included on page 2. Recommendations This PDF has been designed to print and write-on. It could be laminated and a dry-wipe pen used to enable reuse and improve durability. Useful for… I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

2D Shape Eye Spy Counting Practise to 12

(0)
What’s included? x4 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for children in the early years, pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource encourages learners to identify 2D shapes while practising counting (carefully and systematically) up to 12 objects. How to use it? Learners identify the x8 different 2D shapes hidden (on page 2) and once they have counted the total number of each shape (maximum number is 12) learners record this total amount on the recording sheet (page 1). Answers are provided on pages 3 and 4 in exactly the same layout for quick, easy reference - encouraging learners to be autonomous in checking their own work (carefully). Suggestion Encourage learners to use a different coloured crayon/felt tip pen when counting each different 2D shape (using page 2). This will make finding and counting each different 2D shape much easier and systematic for learners. Provide ‘answers sheets’ (pages 3 and 4) for groups to share and only once the 2D Shape Eye Spy activity has been completed!
