An activity for pupils to practise counting items to two and three, easily adapted for other numbers if you choose. Pupils put the correct number of spots on the ladybird pictures: they can either stick stickers, draw spots, use stampers, or whatever you choose. The sheet has six pictures for the number 2 and a further six for the number 3. It could be laminated and used with a whiteboard pen over and over. Simple uncluttered design makes this suitable for children with autism.

A set of tasks suitable for pupils beginning to understand how a number line works. One task shows a 0-20 number line and has space to write a number sentence below (addition, but can be adapted for subtraction). This task is worth laminating and then can be used over and over with a whiteboard pen. The other two tasks require pupils to cut out boxes containing shapes, then stick them to the correct place on the number line (0-10). The easier version has arrows to help; the harder version has just a choice of empty boxes. These two sheets have two different questions on each sheet.

A cutting and sticking activity for pupils to practice matching pairs of 2D shapes or different sized sets of marbles. Each sheet has a set of six pictures to cut out, then pupils stick these pictures next to each corresponding picture above. You can easily adapt these sheets to make them harder by making the pictures more similar. Alternatively make them easier by removing one row or column of pictures. Simple uncluttered design makes these suitable for children with autism.

A differentiated set of tasks where pupils read the instructions and choose the correct colour to colour in each shape. Each sheet allows you to choose whether to show the actual colours as well as their words, or just the instructions with no colour-coding to help. Very simply-presented sheets with no distracting details - suitable for autistic pupils.

Three tasks which are simply presented with no distracting details - suitable for autistic pupils. Task 1: pupils read the instructions and choose the correct colour to use, to colour in each picture. Task 2: pupils draw a line to match the different pictures of the same items. Task 3: pupils cut out the pictures and stick them below their names.

A powerpoint which introduces a set of commonly-seen vehicles; it is animated so pupils have time to read the vehicle's name before its picture is shown (on your click). Three worksheets with a word tracing task, a picture matching task and an odd-one-out task. Resources are simply presented with no distracting details - suitable for autistic pupils.

A powerpoint and two worksheets for pupils to practise naming six familiar animals. Simple format is free from distracting details - suitable for autistic children. The powerpoint is animated so each picture shows first; you click to reveal the word below the picture, which gives pupils time to name the animal. One worksheet has the animals' names beneath their pictures in dotted writing, for pupils to trace over. The other worksheet is for pupils to match the names in cursive and non-cursive writing. Laminate the first page, cut out and laminate a set of words from the second page (duplicates provided in case you want more than one set). Add Velcro so that pupils can attach the words to the correct places.

A worksheet with five different sets of patterns for pupils to continue, using simple 2D geometric shapes. Simple uncluttered presentation, suitable for children with autism. Sheets can be cut into five strips and presented separately.

A set of cards for pupils to practise counting up to six. Each card has a printed number and corresponding amount of pictures of clothes pegs. Pupils attach the clothes pegs to the card, one to each picture. Clear and simple graphics, suitable for children with autism.

A sheet showing six different length rulers. Print it twice, cut out the ruler pictures from one sheet and ask pupils to lay each picture on the corresponding ruler on the complete sheet. For extra durability, laminate the sheet and the pictures and use Velcro to hold them in place. Clear and uncluttered presentation, suitable for children with autism.

This straightforward task card helps a pupil to understand when a task is complete. Write their name and what the task is on the sheet, then tick a box when each part is completed. This sheet shows 10 boxes to tick, but just cut off the second row if you want 5, or adapt it yourself for any other number. I have used this with tasks such as "Count out the right number of tokens" - I say "three", pupil counts out 3 tokens, then I tick the first box, and so on. Useful with children with autism, who sometimes struggle to understand when a task is complete. Suitable for laminating and use a whiteboard pen.
