Resource layout
This download includes x4 number lines per page, each displaying numbers from 0 - 10, all in landscape, PDF format, x6 sheets total.
Each page is slightly different. These difference are listed below (top to bottom, in PDF order) -
x4 number lines 0 - 10 Pink numbers, black box lines, NO vertical count on/back tracks above
x4 number lines 0 - 10 Pink numbers, pink box lines, NO vertical count on/back tracks above (all pink)

This resource enables learners to count on/back from 0 to 10 and have been designed to make using the number line and counting as clear as possible.
The size 50 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the numbers easy to read and models good formation of all numerals from 0 to 10.
The landscape format and area between each number line 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 versions makes this resource easy to photocopy and clear to view if placed under tracing paper to enable learners to practice their handwriting of number formation.

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.
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!

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.
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.

What’s included?
This download includes two A4 pages (landscape orientation) showing x10 number bonds to 5 sums (in order) in pdf format. The answers (page 2) are in the same layout for easy comparison.
Who’s it for?
These ‘number bonds’ have been carefully designed for early years and pupils as well as students needing additional learning support.
This resource has been designed around ‘diggers’ with 'vehicle lovers’ in mind as to motivate our learners linking to personal interests wherever possible can be a powerful way to inspire and engage.
Resource layout
Page 1
On the left the learner is to match the number on the top of the digger with the matching number of rocks (towards the centre line) - drawing a line (from the ‘hole’ dots) to connect each number bond pair which makes 5. On the right the learner is to match the number on the top of the digger with the number of cones (towards the centre line) which - together - make a total of five.
Page 2
Shows all number bonds matched (the answers) clearly displayed in the same layout for easy comparison and quick reference.
The simple lay out of each doubles sum is an easy to use resource. Lines can be drawn on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) using a short (15cm ruler) to show accurate matching.
The numbers are size 16 ‘Avenir’ font, the headings are ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font, size 20.
Recommendations
If physical support materials are helpful to use as well small objects could be placed in each box such as small coloured matchsticks (if these are not deemed a choking hazard for little learner/s). Once the correct number of matchsticks/objects have been counted out into the boxes and the learner is content with ‘how many are needed to make 5’ the learner is to draw a line connecting the two numbers for each number bond which (together) make 5.
This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse.
Useful for

Once the correct number of matchsticks/objects have been counted out into the boxes and the learner is content with ‘how many are needed to make 5’ the learner is to draw a line connecting the two numbers for each number bond which (together) make 5.

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’.

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.

x5 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 older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the concept of symmetry within x6 spot/dot pictures.
How to use it?
Learners use the printed B&W/colour spots on the left to complete each of the x6 ‘symmetrical patterns’ on the right side.
Alternatively learners can create their own symmetrical spot/dot patterns using the blank sheet provided.
Suggestion
Using safety mirrors along side the activity would make a huge difference to understanding (or not) for some learners. Best to use these where they are available,
Resource Details…
The B&W and colour version of this resource show the same patterns (with answers) but a ‘blank’ is included for the adult/learners to create their own.
