What’s included?
This download includes two resources split across three A4 pages (portrait orientation) pdf format. These resources have been designed to use together.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource is a carrot themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 10. Each carrot (resource 1) once assembled displays the correct number bond on the reverse encouraging learners to be autonomous while they work. Resource 2 (split across two pages) provides a space to record and check the number bond pairs.
Resource details
An adult will need to prepare resource 1 prior to use. This resource needs
plain A4 white card to print on (two sheets - page 1 of resource two can be printed onto paper)
scissors
a glue stick
paper scorer
ruler Prior to folding the carrots it is advisable to use a round metal (ball-head) paper scorer and a ruler to draw a scored line (where indicated in the centre of each carrot-pair) to make folding quicker, easier and more accurate.
The large size 40 ‘Avenir’ font makes numbers easy to read.
How to use it
Print the carrot cards resource and page 2 of the ‘record sheet’ resource onto card (paper would be too flimsy for intended use) and follow the instructions included.
Resource 1 - once carrots have been cut out and assembled place on a table top and shuffle, ready for learners to match. Learners match each number bond pair e.g. ‘10’ with ‘0’.
If a learner is unsure which number e.g. ‘9’ should be matched with they can turn the carrot that they are holding over to look for the answer displayed on the back of the carrot (e.g. revealing ‘1’) This encourages learners to be autonomous when working, enabling them to do this activity on their own.
Resource 2 - once learners have matched the number bonds to 10 carrots into pairs they place these onto the carrot outline shapes. Learners then write the number bonds on the horizontal line provided and for each carrot number written they colour/tick this number of tiny carrot outline shapes above for both carrots. This enables learners to check that each pair of carrots (together) makes 10.
A ‘Number bonds to 10 checker’ is included at the base of the second sheet to support learners in checking each number bond pair together makes 10. A blank space is included in the centre of each carrot shape for the numerals 1 - 10 to be written if helpful for learners though blank should be fine for the purpose of counting.

Page 1
The resource explores the pattern of counting in twos, on a number grid to 32 learners first circle the ‘twos numbers’.
Learners are then presented with the two times table in order with boxes in which to write their answers. They can use their findings from the circles drawn on the grid above to complete this, however if this is too tricky initially learners can leave this section and proceed onto the next (last) section (which begins on page 1) - exploring ‘pairs’ of numbers, using ‘headphones’ as a clear visual guide.
Page 2 continues to explore ‘pairs of twos numbers’ using the headphones throughout to make the question being asked clear to learners. There is a box for learners to write their answers in for each question.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the upper right side of page 1 (vertically) and the lower left side of page 2 (horizontally).

What’s included?
This download includes x6 sheets, landscape orientation, in colour to investigate the concept ‘half’ up to 20.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to investigate which numbers (from 1 to 20) can be ‘halved’. There is a introduction to ‘half’ on page one and x20 recap questions at the end.
Resource layout
Page 1
This is an introductory page (not numbered) to explore ‘half’ is demonstrated step by step (horizontally) across the page.
Pages 2 to 5
These pages enable learners to investigate each number from 1 to 20 (in order) to discover whether it can (or cannot!) be split equally into two. Starting at number 1 each box visually shows that number of pencils with two sheets of paper positioned below. Learners draw a line from one pencil to the left sheet of paper and the next pencil to the second (right) sheet of paper, continuing to do this (alternating drawing a line to the left/right sheet of paper each time, one pencil at a time) until there aren’t any more pencils available.
Underneath the image of two 'sheets of paper’, the learners circle either the tiny image of ‘tick’ / ‘cross’ to indicate whether that number can be split in half (or not).
Lastly for every question is a sentence e.g. ’Half of 2 is ___ ‘ for learners to complete. Learners write the missing number on the line to complete the sentence.
Where a number (e.g. 1) cannot be split equally into half and therefore the sentence - ‘Half of 1 is ___ ‘ cannot be completed the learner can instead draw a line or cross in the space, e.g. ‘Half of 1 is ___’ OR ‘Half of 1 is X’.
Learners then move onto investigating the next number.
Page 4
At the end of page 4 there are two larger red/green boxes for learners to write the numbers (on the left/right) which cannot/can be split equally into half.
Page 5
On page 5 there are x20 recap questions in the same order as the investigation (pages 2 to 4) and using the same colour boxes for each question. The colours should help guide learners back to the question they need to check their earlier findings should they need it.
Recommendations
I recommend that learners explore the concept of ‘halving numbers to 20’ practically before recording their learning. Physically using coloured matchsticks or lolly sticks and a sheet of A4 folded/with a line drawn down the centre is a simple way to begin! Small coloured matchsticks could be placed on top of the pencil images each time for a learner with good fine motor control.

What’s included?
This download includes x8 sheets - x7 in landscape orientation and x1 in portrait orientation to practise counting out tens and ones to match numerals up to 69.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
Learners count out tens and ones (by cutting out tens/ones images) to match numerals from 2 up to 69.
Resource layout
Learners write their name at the base of each sheet. Each learner should also be given one tens/ones sheet to cut out what they need. The more sheets learners complete the more tens/ones they will need so spares of this sheet will be need to be available - close to hand. Learners look at the numeral in each box and count out (cut) the correct number of ones and tens to position (stick) in the box.
Each sheet is numbered (1 - 7) the more sheets learners complete the larger the numerals on each sheet become.
Page 2 has been left blank for you two write in the numbers you wish to target instead.
Target numbers you choose
Page 2 has blank boxes for an adult to write numerals they would like to target for learners to practise. The size of the boxes on page 2 are quite small and suitable for ‘ones’ numbers (smaller than 10) - a ‘ten stick’ may fit here if placed horizontally but only with up to x7 ones.
The numbers on sheet 7 could be covered up if adults wish learners to target specific numbers with tens and ones as there is more space in these boxes. I think x7 ten sticks is the limit for the two boxes on page 7 size-wise.

What’s included?
A set of x13 sheets, portrait orientation, colour pdf format. x6 colours (x2 sheets per learner) Colours include x2 red, x2 orange, x2 yellow, x2 green, x2 turquoise, x2 blue and one B&W ‘answers’ sheet.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to give learners an opportunity to explore more closely the position and relationship of numbers to 100 within a hundred number square. There is a 100 number square jigsaw puzzle to cut out (x12 pieces in total) and assemble and some ‘missing numbers’ to fill out, following on from completing the jigsaw puzzle. I have included x6 sets in different colours to avoid learners getting their jigsaw pieces muddled up when cutting them out and assembling their jigsaw puzzles.
How to use it?
Each learner is to be given two sheets in the same colour, e.g. one learner has the two red sheets, another learner has the two orange sheets, etc.
Page 1. The first page is a ’board’ for the 100 number square jigsaw puzzle pieces to be positioned and then stuck on to. Once this has been completed learners can fill out the missing numbers at the base of this sheet.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of the sheet and a space to record the number date (top, right).
To complete this activity learners will need:
a pair of scissors
a glue stick
a pencil
Page 2. This page clearly displays all twelve ‘jigsaw’ pieces for the 100 number square jigsaw puzzle. Learners are to cut around each shape - dotted lines guide where to cut and assemble these pieces on the large white square at the top, centre of page 1.
Last page 13. Answers, clearly displayed. The complete 100 number square is at the top, centre and the missing numbers (completed) at the base of the sheet. This has been designed for learners to access and cross-check themselves once they have completed the activity, encouraging autonomy.

What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to practise finding and identifying which number is ten more and ten less within a hundred number square.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in year two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Resource Details
The sheet is organised in half. Looking at finding ‘ten more’ at the top of the sheet and finding ‘ten less’ at the lower part of the sheet. There are eight boxes to complete for find both ten more and ten less than each number. Two hundred number squares are provided for learners to use as needed to locate the number that is ten more and ten less.
A helpful arrow reminder in each half of the sheet is displayed reminding learners to either move directly down from a number (to identify the number which is ten more) and to move directly up from a number (to identify the number which is ten less).
There is a clear space to record the number date at the top right of the sheet and for learners to write their name (lower left).

What’s included?
This download includes x7 sheets in landscape orientation to investigate which numbers are odd and even from 1 to 20.
What’s it for?
This resource systematically introduces learners to what ‘odd’ and ‘even’ numbers are through a practical investigation of numbers from 1 to 20.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Resource layout
Page 1 has x7 step by step instructions and a visual example of how to use the resource (as described in the instructions) for adults to reference to help learners get started. There is a simple sentence identifying what ‘odd’ and ‘even’ means, however learners are able to investigate each individual number in turn (from 1 to 20) to find this out for themselves.
This resource could precede the ‘odd/even numbers investigation to 100’ resource which is also available in my TES shop.
Pages 2 to 6 Learners systematically work their way through the numbers (in order) from 1 to 20. For each number learners draw the correct number of dots, alternating between drawing a dot on the left then a dot on right (repeated) until the correct number of dots has been recorded. After doing this learners need to identify whether the amount of the dots on the left and right is ‘different’ or ‘the same’ and it is this which helps learners to identify whether each number is odd or even.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the right side of each sheet and a space to write the number date at the top (right).
Page 7 provides an opportunity for learners to consolidate their knowledge and record which numbers are ‘odd’ (in the red box on the left) and which numbers are even (in the green box on the right). Learners could complete page 7 on their own (from memory) or use their completed pages 2-6 as a reference to help with completing page 7 if needed.
