This resource was created for Post 16 learners with SEND as part of their Entry Level maths / Life Skills work. Learners discussed the importance of checking best before dates on food and choosing food items with the longest date. There are 2 worksheets, one with only 2 items to compare and one with 3 to allow for differentiation.

I made this for a little boy with autism who was working at mid P Levels. This was to develop his basic one to one correspondence of numbers up to 10 and ordering numbers. The activity is suitable for mainstream or any aged learner who is working at a basic maths level. There are 10 A4 sheets in total: 5 have 2 cards on 1 A4 sheet. These sheets have apple trees with a numbered basket (1 - 10). The idea of these was that the child places the matching number of ‘apples’ on the tree. For apples I used red counters or small red pompoms. There is an A4 apple tree with a space to place a number card on - this could be used in 2 ways: Adult (or peer) places up to 10 ‘apples’ on the tree and the child has to find the correct number card or the adult / peer places a number card in the space provided and the child has to place the correct number of ‘apples’ on the tree. The other pages have apple themed number cards to use with the A4 apple tree. They could also be used on their own for ordering, identifying which number comes next or is missing…or print twice and use as a memory game. This activity would be best laminated / velcroed. Its a bit of a random addition but as he could also rote count in 10’s to 100, I included number cards for 10’s numbers to develop his ability to recognise the numbers.

A bundle of 4 resources created for my ASD class to support understanding of basic time. Suitable for KS1 or any aged SEN learner. These activities could be used as part of a narrative / colourful semantics approach to develop understanding of ‘when’ or in maths to support basic time awareness. Months: Table of the months of the year and a selection of 24 symbols. Teacher to choose which symbols are relevant and will be recognised by your particular group of learners. Students stick the symbols onto the correct month (e.g. Halloween next to October). When I did this with my class I also included pictures of the children in the class and learners stuck pictures of their classmates in the birthdays section of the table. I have left this version of the table in, as it might be of use for some, but I’ve also included a copy of the table without the birthday column. Day / Night Sorting: Instructions included. This could be used as a worksheet task or it could be laminated / velcroed and used as a re-useable workstation task. Days of the Week homework: Worksheet to support learning and reinforce understanding about the days of the week. Days of the Week School: Instructions included. Learners stick the days of the week into the correct order, they then stick symbols on to indicate what happens in school on particular days.

Change in pounds (£) and pence §, KS1, KS2, SEND Entry Level / Functional maths. Peg card activity designed for Post 16 Learners with SEND, but also appropriate for KS1 / KS2. Learners need to calculate what change would be due and place a peg on the correct amount. As a laminated peg card activity this is a reuseable resource but it could also be printed and used as a worksheet. There are 3 different activities within this item: Peg cards where child or young person calculates change from £1 (varying difficulty including 10s, 5s and single pence) Peg cards where change is calculated from £10 (whole pound / 50p) Peg cards where the learner has to recognise the coin or note, then calculate change (various amounts up to £10) Each activity contains 12 different cards.

Designed for my SEN / autistic learners who are mixed age but following White Rose Y3 (weeks 1 - 3, though likely to take my learners longer): Comparing statements Related calculations Multiply 2 digit number by 1 digit

Selection of 2D and 3D sheets which I have used as reuseable velcro tasks in my ASD classroom. Also suitable for use as cut and paste worksheets. ‘I can name shapes’ - 2 tasks, one matching shape to shadow, other is a shape labelling task. I laminated the main sheets whole, then cut out the shapes / shape names and added velcro. Learners match the name / shape to the baseboard. I have also left space on the baseboard for a strip of velcro to be added to keep the pieces together and ensure they don’t get lost when not in use. ‘real life shapes’ - picture cards of items which can be used in a range of ways, including sorting. ‘shape sorting - straight_curved’ - Another velcro task, laminate base board and pieces, pupils sort shapes by whether they have a curved edge or not. Also suitable to be used as a worksheet. ‘Shape colour and size’ - 2 x A4 pages. Page one has shapes which differ by colour, page 2 has shapes which differ by size and colour. I used these with SEN pupils in a range of ways, including as an attention and listening activity. E.g. “give me the red circle” (set 1) or “give me the big pink triangle”(set 2) All activities also suitable to be made up for home learning, especially when repetition is helpful for learners with SEN.

Created for mixed age SEN class of children with autism, roughly following Y3 white rose scheme of work. Children begin to explore grouping in 3, repeated addition, bar models, simple word problems (as my children particularly struggle with any form of worded question!) and drawing their own representations.
