What’s included? This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting numerals 0 to 10. Who’s it for? I designed this resource to break down each step involved in writing these eleven numerals correctly, using green (go!) starting dots and red (stop!) dots to make it clear to learners exactly where to begin and end writing. Support (colour coded) arrows also guide learners on which direction to follow. This resource should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these numerals more closely. This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 150. This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has clear ‘starting’ and ‘ending’ dots so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write. There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet and a clear space to record the number-date at the top of the sheet - helpful to keep sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time… Important message… ANY issues with this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make any changes. Feedback of this resource would be brilliant. Thank you!

What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students who would benefit from investigating the concept of ‘symmetry’ and/or students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 lowercase letters of the alphabet! How to use it? The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by cutting out one letter at a time. Learners can either use a safety mirror and/or fold these squares to investigate where the lines of symmetry are. It is best if learners only ‘cut’ once they are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry - a (safety!) mirror would definitely be helpful as a back up to check especially if letters have already been cut up! Resource Details… Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Page 1. At the top are ‘larger’ lowercase letters, each within a dotted box - these dots guide where to cut. Learners can cut out one of these larger letters at a time (to avoid having lots of letters in front of them at once and risk losing some). Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Along the length of base of the sheet is a set of smaller lowercase letters designed to be cut with two simple snips (vertically up to the red line and then horizontally) to separate these from the sheet one at a time. These are designed to be used to record findings (answers) - on page 2. The larger lowercase letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated. Page 2. Pupils will need a pencil to their write their name at the base of page 2 and access to a glue stick to continue their investigation using page 2. Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller lowercase letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical. If learners are ‘unsure’ there is a space on the left for this also - they can stick letters there and come back to these later, perhaps with support/a mirror to check. Page 3 clearly shows which lowercase letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation. Page 4 also clearly shows which lowercase letters are/are not symmetrical, but in more detail - including where the actual lines of symmetry are. For learners who might find the concept of symmetry difficult they can use page 4 (instead of page 1) and use the lines of symmetry included here to explore for themselves where to fold to investigate ‘symmetry’ with support. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know.

What’s included? x5 pages, landscape orientation in colour to investigate the concepts ‘BIG’ and ‘small’. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years aged children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Page 1 is a visual reference sheet which could be used for display purposes but has been designed to be used as a point of discussion about what ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ means… As a teacher/adult led discussion learners could explore what the concepts ‘big ‘ and ‘small’ mean. There are x9 pairs of images displayed on page 1, each showing items that are (when compared to each other in the ‘real world’) ‘big’ or ‘small’. Learners could first work together to identify what the big and small item is in each pair. The images shown for comparison and discussion are: the world (big) with a space rocket (small) a table (big) with a cup (small) a factory (big) with a bike (small) a tower block (big) with a person/woman (small) a flower (big) with a bee (small) a plate (big) with a pea (small) a tree (big) with a bird (small) an elephant (big) with a mouse (small) mountains (big) with a person hiking (small) Once the big/small item in each pair has been identified learners could go on to consider mixing up the items in the pictured pairs - e.g. if the ‘elephant’ was compared with the ‘world’ instead of the ‘mouse’ which would be big and which would be small? The images on pages 2 and 3 could be used as a matching activity for learners to think about and explore this further. Pages 2 and 3 are for learners to use to record three sets of pairs of items that are (when compared with each other in the real world) BIG or small. The BIG item in each pair is the be positioned on the right and the small item in each pair is to be positioned on the left. There are three spaces (for three pairs) on page 2 and page 3, learners could complete two pages (2 and 3!) Pages 4 and 5 display the images from page 1 ready to be cut up (dotted lines guide where to cut) and placed in pairs on pages 2 and 3 (or page 6). Learners could pair up the images as featured on page 1 (see this list of big/small pairs above) OR learners could pair the images differently. However the learners pair up the images the idea is to pair one BIG and one small item when thinking about the size of these items in the ‘real world’ and not the size of the image as pictured on these sheets. This may confuse some learners and they will really need to think about these items/images carefully where pairing a big and small image together before securing them with glue on pages 2/3/6. Page 6 provides an opportunity for learners to draw and label their own (real world) BIG and small images.

What’s included? x2 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to make what a millilitre is visually clear to learners and to give learners an opportunity to count and identify a small amount of millilitres (up to 42) as part of 1000ml (one litre). How to use it? The first page is an ‘information sheet’ - introducing learners to what a ‘millilitre is, that ml is short for millilitre and what millilitres are used/useful for. One thousand squares have been used to visually demonstrate what one thousand ml would look like and that this is equal to one litre. This shows just how small one millilitre is (ccompared to 1000). This may be useful to make the concept of one (or more) millilitres visually clear to learners. The second page also shows one litre/one thousand millilitres visually - as 1000 blue squares and provides learners with the opportunity to count a limited number of ml and write what amount this would be as ml - if the blue squares shown were water. Suggestion When completing the second page of this resource learners may need it to be made clear to them that each number of millilitres (the red, orange, yellow, green and blue squares) is always part of the 1000 blue squares pictured on the whole sheet and not just the 100 blue squares that the orange/yellow/green/blue squares are shown to be a part of. Important… All squares are illustrations of millilitres shown to visually represent water and of course are not exact or equal to actual millilitres. Illustrations in this resource are not to scale. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. A review of this resource would be brilliant! Thank you!

What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit ‘how to measure objects using cm’ or students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for children in the EYFS. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to give learners an opportunity to practise measuring the length of simple objects/shapes using cm (up to 25cm). How to use it? The first page is an ‘information sheet’ - introducing learners to what a ‘centimetre’ is and what it is used for in images and words. Pages 2 to 4 (numbered 1-3) provide practical opportunity for learners to use the images of the rulers provided to carefully measure the length of each object (image) featured. Page number 1 focuses on ‘stationery’, page number 2 on ‘kitchen items’ and page number 3 on ‘tools’. Page 3 uses the vocabulary ‘longer’ and ‘shorter’ and looks at the difference (in cm) between the longest and shortest tool - which may be a new concept for some learners and so may require some support. Suggestion I would encourage learners to draw a vertical line from the end of each object to the number on the ruler above (using a pencil and ruler!) to be sure of what the total length for each item is. Important… This resource has been designed to provide learners with an opportunity to practice measuring using the images of rulers marked with cm. These rulers are illustrations of rulers and not exact centimetres. It is printed on each sheet that the ‘illustrations in this resource are not to scale’. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes AND I am happy to create a new resource if you have an idea just let me know - I’d love to hear from you! A review of this resource would be brilliant! Thank you!

What’s included? This download includes two A4, portrait pdf sheet to practise ordering numbers from 0 to 25. Dotted lines guide where to cut and a snake outline is provided to place and stick the numbers (in order) once complete. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The layout includes x2 pages. Page 1 shows the numbers (from 0 to 25) in the correct order and position. Dotted lines are provided guiding where to cut - both around the outline of the snake and between each number to separate them. Page 2 shows an outline of the snake shape to support learners with where to position and stick numbers once complete. To make this puzzle ‘more’ challenging a ‘blank’ sheet of A4 paper could be provided for each learner. The chevron/arrow shape of each number piece has been designed to guide learners on which direction to position/stick the ‘next’ number. Important message… ANY issues with this number snake please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes as needed. Feedback of this resource would be excellent! Thank you!

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting objects, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Skittles included! Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Skittles’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one random amount (portion) of Skittles - each learner will need their own portion. Learners could be given a real Skittles or ‘paper/cardboard Skittles’. On the bar chart there is space for up to x24 Skittles of one colour so the amount of Skittles given to learners can be any number to fit their ability, however no more than x24 of any one colour group if you intend for learners to use the bar chart (pages 3/5). Page 1 Learners are to sort their portion of Skittles into x5 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green and purple). Learners then count the number of Skittles in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘colour’ boxes for each colour group of Skittles. Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same number (portion) of Skittles. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 30, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Smarties included! Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Smarties’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one tube of Smarties - each learner will need a tube each! Learners could be given a real tube with either real or ‘paper/cardboard Smarties’ inside. See attachment included to cut out and give your learners a random selection of paper Smarties instead. I have found tubes of Smarties have an average of x30 Smarties per tube but if you are giving learners paper/cardboard Smarties this really can be any number of course to fit their ability. The maximum number of one colour of Smarties which will fit on to the bar chart is 12. Page 1 Learners are to sort the Smarties in the tube into x8 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and brown). Learners then count the number of Smarties in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each colour group of Smarties. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 Smarties (for each colour group). Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same tube/number of Smarties. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings.

What’s included? This download includes two A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘ordering numbers to 20’. Learners are to cut out along straight lines and then arrange and stick the clothes onto the washing lines. An adult could pre-cut the numbers for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting frustrating/demotivating. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Dotted guide lines show where to cut and two washing lines are provided to fit all the clothes on (it might be a squeeze but they should all fit!) A colour and black and white version of the same resource included. There is a clear space under the lower washing line for each learner to write their name.

What’s included? This download includes x2 A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 7 types of traffic/ways of travel and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple block diagram. There is also a space to add in your own ‘traffic’ should this be needed. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details There are x2 stages to this activity, going out (always with an adult!) to count vehicles for an agreed amount of time and transferring the information collected onto a block diagram. Page 1 Learners are to count the number of vehicles observed passing along a road (from a safe distance and always with adult supervision!) The types of vehicles included on the recording sheet are cars, vans, buses, trucks/lorries, bicycles, motorbikes, pedestrians. There is a space to add another type of traffic in the lowest box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear block diagram. The vehicles listed on the ‘traffic survey’ sheet are included in the same order here to assist the process of transferring this information. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each group of vehicles. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 vehicles (for each vehicle group). Vehicle groups with any more than 12 should colour up to 12 as this indicates ‘12+’.

What’s included? This download includes x4 pdf pages featuring x20 butterflies (a black/white and a rainbow (coloured) version, both in portrait orientation. What’s it for? This resource can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 20. The easy to read font size and predictable layout clearly models the process of doubling numbers to 20 to learners. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten butterflies. Each butterfly’s left wing shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order up to 20. Learners can complete the other half of each double by drawing the same number of ‘dots’ e.g. with a felt tip pen onto the space on the right wing. The total number of dots can then be written on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’ The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 20. There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).

What’s included? This download includes x9 pdf pages, each featuring x10 robots (x3 black and white versions, x3 black and white with rainbow coloured dots versions and x3 rainbow (coloured) versions). All are in portrait orientation. What’s it for? These resources can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 10. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten robots with ten recap questions at the end. Each robot’s chest clearly shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order/random order up to 10. Learners complete the other half (of each double) by drawing ‘dots’ e.g. with a thick felt pen onto the space on the right side of each robot’s chest. Learners then write the total number of dots on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’ The robots and questions are both in order and random order - you choose which to use depending on what best suits the needs of your learner/s. Size 16/17 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the text easy to read and clearly models the process of doubling numbers to 10 to young learners. The x10 recap questions at the end enable learners to consolidate their ‘doubles knowledge’. In two of the colour version sheets the ‘outline colour’ of each ‘question box’ matches the robot colour - providing a visual link for the learner to check back to each corresponding robot, if needed, before committing to writing answers in the question boxes at the end. There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).

What’s included? This pdf download includes x5 landscape orientation sheets featuring x23 2D Shapes with clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate/cellophane 2D shapes for (window) display. What’s it for? These 2D shapes have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the shapes look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the colour ‘falls’ depends on the position of the shape in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole set of 2D shapes together as a focus to encourage learners to recognise and name each 2D shape and become familiar with recognising and naming them as well as lots of exposure and so time to count the number of sides/corners and think about the properties of each e.g. which have straight/curved sides (or both!). The 2D shapes can of course be repositioned and displayed as you choose. I have included a ‘2D shapes’ label to be displayed with the set of shapes. This resource would also support work on shadows and light/dark. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students who would appreciate a pop of colour shining through these shapes when the sun comes out! Resource Details The shapes all have a name label which is in the font ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 45. There are x5 pages. The first page includes clear instructions and the remaining pages include the set of shapes and 2D Shapes word label. Suggestions I recommend printing and making these letters out of white card - paper would be too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are quite inexpensive on Amazon(!) I recommend also backing every 2D shape in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time and to do this x10 sheets of A4 white card will be needed (instead of x5 sheets).

What’s included? This download includes two A4, portrait sheets to practise counting up to x10 items (fruit), writing the total number and recording ’one more’ OR ‘one less’ for each. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for children in the early years, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The sheet is organised into five different coloured (fruit) groups, each group has less than 10 objects (fruit) in total. Learners count each group in turn, write the total amount of fruit and then add (either mentally or by ‘drawing’ one more fruit) and writing the number - which is ‘one more’ OR ‘one less’. There is a clear space to record the number date at the top right of the sheet and for learners to write their name (lower left).

What’s included? x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the various lines of symmetry within x8 2D shapes. This investigation can be done by cutting/folding (ideally first) then recording these finding by drawing the lines of symmetry (using a ruler) onto the shapes on the sheet. Black and white AND colour versions of both sheets (cut/fold, drawing lines versions) included. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support. This resource may also be suitable for children in EYFS although with younger ages it would probably be a good idea to upscale the sheets to a larger size (on a photocopier/scanner) first. How to use it? The learner can explore lines of symmetry in two ways, either using a pencil and ruler or cutting out the shapes and folding them to investigate the lines of symmetry. Suggestion I would encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry within these 2D shapes by first cutting out the shapes (using the colour/black and white version designed for this - see pages 3 and 4). Once pupils have investigated these by folding they could then use pages 1/2 (colour/black and white) to record their findings with a pencil and ruler. Using safety mirrors along side cutting and folding AND when recording the ‘answers’ (using a pencil and ruler) will really help pupils to become clear and accurate in their mind as to whether they have found the line of symmetry. Important… Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line ‘through’ this centre point in order to be accurate in their findings. Answers are included on a separate page in the same format which learners could use for quick, easy reference. Resource Details lines of symmetry (or recording ‘answers after investigation) using a pencil and ruler in colour (page 3) and black and white (page 4). Pupils will need a pencil and a ruler each. *Investigating lines of symmetry by folding. x8 2D shapes will need cutting out (these could be pre-cut for pupils who find cutting out challenging). Pale grey, dotted ‘cutting out guidelines’ are included. Pupils will need a pencil (to ensure their write their name on their cut-out shapes!) and a pair of scissors each. 2D shapes included are right angled triangle, equilateral triangle, heart, circle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Rainbow Dots to count and numerals from 1 to 20 to match). How to use this resource These square cards are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (maybe fastened with velcro for easy opening). The numeral cards (like number fans) can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. However these have been designed to be a counting activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring (shuffled or in order). Learners then count the rainbow dots on each card and find the matching numeral (or vice versa!). Once complete (or ‘as they go’ if working ‘in order’) learners can then order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. These could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. This ‘number match’ set could also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the Rainbow Dot cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic (as seen on the main resource image). Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small piece of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students who would benefit from investigating the concept of ‘symmetry’ and ‘symmetrical’ or students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 capital letters of the alphabet! How to use it? The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by first cutting around each capital letter to investigate one letter at a time. It is best to begin by folding letters and cutting once learners are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry. A (safety!) mirror could be helpful as a back up to check (especially if letters have already been cut up!) Resource Details… Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Page 1. At the top are ‘larger’ capital letters, each within a dotted box - these dots guide where to cut. Learners can cut out one of these larger letters at a time (to avoid having lots of letters in front of them at once and risk losing some). Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Along the length of base side of the sheet is a set of smaller capital letters designed to be cut with two simple snips (vertically up to the red line and then horizontally) to separate these from the sheet one at a time. These are designed to be used to record findings (answers) - on page 2. The larger capital letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated. Page 2. Learners will need a pencil to their write their name at the base of page 2 and access to a glue stick to continue their investigation using page 2. Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller capital letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical. Page 3 clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation. Page 4 also clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, but in more detail - including where the actual lines of symmetry are. For learners who might find the concept of symmetry difficult they can use page 4 (instead of page 1) and use the lines of symmetry included here to explore for themselves where to fold to investigate ‘symmetry’ with support.

What’s included? This download includes x2 pdf pages featuring x10 butterflies (one black/white and one rainbow (coloured) version, both in portrait orientation. What’s it for? This resource can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 10. The easy to read font size and predictable layout clearly models the process of doubling numbers to 10 to learners. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten butterflies. Each butterfly’s left wing shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order order up to 10. Learners can complete the other half of each double by drawing the same number of ‘dots’ e.g. with a felt tip pen onto the space on the right wing. The total number of dots can then be written on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’ The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 20. There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).
