Print these boards out, laminate them and you are ready to go. Give your children pegs (this will help their fine motor skills, that in turn will help their writing) and they can peg the correct number which the fingers show. The shown fingers represent numbers 1-10 in various forms so the children will also be exposed to a vary basic form of addition (by counting both groups of fingers together) Understanding what numbers represent is a basic skill every child needs, and these boards were designed to be used as part of the enhanced provision in class so children can still access their learning independently while I work with a guided group.

These are peg boards. You can print these out, laminate them but you need some pegs with numbers 1-10 to compliment this resource. The children should indicate which number is missing by placing the right numbered peg on top of Big Tum. These were made to go a long side the Powerpoint versions/games I created to place on the interactive whiteboard, so the children have two independent games they can get on with while I was leading a guided group activity.

This is a great resource that children enjoy. They have to problem solve to find the odd one out. I laminated the sheets, cut out the crosses and stuck velcro on the squares and cross. This enables the children to work independently by placing the cross on the ‘odd one out’ before explaining to me what they found. I also placed the number sentences with Numicon representations on the back of these sheets for a reference to the children. Why is this activity important? When children subitise it means they can work out how many in a collection without having to count everything they see. They can describe how many by looking and thinking which helps your child build their mathematical imaginations. Spatial structures are critical mathematical representations that children need to be able to make meaning from. It later enables children to work flexibly with numbers and operations.

This independent game has been made to use alongside the Numberblocks episode ‘The Legend of Big Tum’, where the Numberblocks meet a mysterious big hairy monster with a big hairy tummy who loves puzzles. They work together to work out who is in Big Tum’s tum! It teaches children how to find missing numbers with the Numberblocks . This is a powerpoint based game that I created to put on the interactive whiteboard for them to play independently. It is for numbers 1-5 and the children can click which number they think is in Big Tum’s tum. It will then take them to a screen to tell them if they are correct or not. If they are incorrect they then go back to try again but if they are correct they go onto the next missing number. The game will cycle back to the beginning once all the numbers are done. At the start I have included the first part of the Numberblocks episode too to give the children an idea of what they must do.

Numicon is a great resource to help children understand the meaning of numbers. The idea with this resource is for children to match the silhouette of ‘buildings’ to the Numicon on the side of the screen. The game then tells them if they got it right as that Numicon forms in the correct position or if they got it wrong using a Batman GIF. This resource was designed for children to access independently while I sit with a guided group during their independent learning time. They can access it via a whiteboard. This Powerpoint/game helps children recognise and learn numbers 1-5.

This resource has been made for the children to access independently during child initiated time. They can watch the Numberblocks number 1 song on the first slide and then they have a selection of slides which show the number 1 or other numbers. The children need to answer the questions - Is this 1? The children need to click on the yes or no to answer the question and then they are shown if they are right or wrong. If they are wrong, the slide will go back to the question so they can try it again. There are lots of variations of how to represent 1: Dice Fingers Ten Frames Numicon And this material is supported with Numberblocks throughout the slides.

When young children learn new concepts, it is vital that they use real objects in order to ‘play with the maths’ and this will be able them to visualise it once they are familiar with the new concepts. These resources created will compliment this work using pictorial resources in a combination of ways. Half of these contain a peg board format, which means the child has to place a peg on the right answer. This helps with fine motor skills, which in turn will aid mark making skills. The bonus here is an A3 version of the addition stories, where children can use objects of their own to create a story like shown in the examples.
