A helpful guide to some simple reasoning questions to challenge deeper thinking around numbers. Great for generating simple discussions about numbers.

Three sessions planning for the teaching of number 1. This also includes a child initiated planning to support the teaching of the number 1 covering a wide range of areas in the classroom from writing, reading and craft areas. These three sessions follow my number story ‘Elmer and the Crocodiles’. Download the story and story sequencing cards to support this planning.

A great way to excite children about numbers and embed that knowledge is to teach through story telling. Here you can find my number story featuring the Elmer the Elephant. This story covers the numbers 0,1, 2 and 3 and includes story sequencing cards to make a story map with the children. Look out my planning in my shop using this story. Number of the Week has never been more fun.
