Set of 12 word and picture flash cards showing the months of the year. Why do you need this? Flashcards help students learn the sequence and order of the months of the year. Teachers can use the flashcards to engage students in activities where they arrange the months in chronological order or identify which month comes before or after a given month. Flashcards serve as visual aids to support students’ understanding of abstract concepts like time and sequence. The visual representation of the months helps reinforce learning and provides a reference point for students during calendar activities. How and when might you use this? Teachers can use these cards for small group lessons, maths centers, and vocabulary reinforcement. They can also be used for display. What is included? 12 word and picture flash cards showing each of the months of the year.

1-10 Number lines to support children in maths. Why do you need this? Number lines offer a structured way for students to practice counting forwards and backwards. By visually following the sequence of numbers on the line, students reinforce their counting skills and learn the concept of one-to-one correspondence. Number lines support problem-solving skills by providing a visual framework for solving mathematical problems. Students can use the number line to model and solve word problems, helping them develop critical thinking and reasoning abilities. How and when might you use this? Number lines can be used to support mathematical learning during counting practice, number recognition, basic addition and subtraction, problem solving and in maths centers or games. What is included? Included in this resource is are 4 different designs of number line: · Playful numbers made to look like monsters · Numbers to trace over and practice writing · Colorful numbers · Black and white numbers

Booklet to practice writing numbers 0-9 and counting. Why do you need this? This booklet provides a structured format for children to practice writing numbers, helping them develop fine motor skills and reinforce number formation by tracing and writing single digits. How and when might you use this? This booklet could be used in a variety of ways: · Hands on math practice · During morning work, children can spend a few minutes at the beginning of the day practicing writing numbers and counting, setting a positive tone for math learning for the day. · Small group work to provide targeted support for those who need additional practice. · Homework · Math interventions for those struggling with writing numbers or counting What is included? Included in this resource is: · Number formation booklet with numbers 0-9. Each page includes numbers to trace over, counting fingers to count and a box to draw the correct number of circles · A worksheet in which each number 0-10 can be traced over.

Matching cards for numbers 1-10. 6 different formats for each number including dice, cubes, counting fingers and numicon. Why do you need this? Matching cards with different representations of numbers provide a multisensory approach to learning. With multiple formats for each number, teachers can differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of students in the classroom. Some students may benefit more from visual representations like dots on dice or images of objects, while others may prefer tactile representations such as counting fingers or manipulatives like numicon. Matching cards help students develop a deeper conceptual understanding of numbers. By exploring numbers in various contexts and representations, students can grasp the abstract concept of number more concretely, leading to better mathematical comprehension. How and when might you use this? This activity can be used in a variety of ways: · Small group instruction · Whole class activities · Early morning work · Assessment activities · Homework or independent practice · Math games What is included? There are 6 cards for each number 1-10. For each number there is a card showing: · A number · The written word for the number · Numicon · Counting fingers · Dice · Cubes

2 sets of number flash cards - one with pictures and one with counting fingers. Why do you need this? Pictures and counting fingers provide concrete representations of numbers, making abstract mathematical concepts more accessible to young learners. By associating numbers with concrete objects or actions, students can better understand the concept of quantity and develop foundational number sense skills. How and when might you use this? Teachers might use these flash cards during the early stages of number recognition and for counting practice. They can also be used in number games. Alternatively they could just be used as part of a math display. What is included? · 1-10 flash cards with objects · 1-10 flash cards with counting fingers

Jigsaws in which children count the pictures and then join the jigsaw piece showing the corresponding number to the bottom. Showing both numerals and numbers in words. Why do you need this? Counting the pictures on the puzzle pieces provides children with valuable counting practice. They learn to accurately count objects and match the counted quantity to the appropriate numeral. The presence of numerals and numbers in words helps children reinforce their ability to recognise numbers in various forms. They learn to associate the numeral symbol with its corresponding written word, enhancing their overall number recognition skills. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of ways: · Math lessons focused on numbers and counting · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Independent work stations This can be used as a one off activity or for continued use I would recommend laminating this resource and using Velcro to move the jigsaw pieces around. What is included? Included are 10 two piece jigsaws with images to count and numbers in words and numerals.

Repeating patterns with colours and shapes for children to finish by cutting and sticking the correct shapes. Why do you need this? This activity helps children develop their pattern recognition skills by identifying and extending simple repeating patterns. Recognising patterns is an important early maths skill that lays the foundation for more complex mathematical concepts later on. Completing repeating patterns requires children to use critical thinking skills as they analyse the sequence of colours and shapes and predict the next element in the pattern. It encourages them to think logically and sequentially. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of ways: · Maths lessons focused on repeating patterns · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Independent work stations This can be used as a one off activity or for continued use I would recommend laminating this resource and using Velcro to move the jigsaw pieces around. What is included? Included are 5 worksheets with 2 and 3 blank boxes to complete the patterns and 5 worksheets with 4 blank boxes to complete the patterns.

Popcorn pots with numbers on them and then popcorn tops with a number to match to make number bonds to 10. Why do you need this? Number bonds are an important foundational concept in mathematics, particularly for understanding addition and subtraction relationships. The worksheet provides opportunities for students to practice decomposing numbers and recognizing the combinations that make up 10. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of ways: · Math lessons focused on number bonds · Numeracy centers · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Independent work stations What is included? Worksheet with 9 popcorn pots and a sheet with corresponding popcorn tops. Also included is a black and white version.
