This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets which make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Various vehicles to count and numerals/word number names from 1 to 20 to match). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is to practise counting up to 20 items (vehicles) and match the total number with the correct numeral/number name word label. How to use this resource This matching activity set has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each image card and count the number of vehicles before matching the picture to the numeral/number name card to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs learners can order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. Once complete the cards can be threaded back together using the hole (top left of each card). The squares are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (using sticky Velcro would assist with easy opening). Once attached the numeral cards (like number fans) can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. The cards could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. Games This ‘number match’ set could also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the vehicle cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small amount of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Rainbow Dots to count and numerals from 1 to 20 to match). How to use this resource These square cards are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (maybe fastened with velcro for easy opening). The numeral cards (like number fans) can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. However these have been designed to be a counting activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring (shuffled or in order). Learners then count the rainbow dots on each card and find the matching numeral (or vice versa!). Once complete (or ‘as they go’ if working ‘in order’) learners can then order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. These could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes x7 A4, portrait pdf 2D shape sheets featuring x36 matching cards. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resources is to name, count (the sides of) and match 2D shapes to the correct word label. There are x4 ‘answer cards’ included in the set which clearly list the pairs of shapes (pictures and names) on page 4. Learners could use these to help them match the cards or refer to them after they have completed the matching activity, encouraging autonomy. How to use this resource This matching activity has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each 2D shape image and (if they are able) name this. Learners can also count the number of sides of each shape and match the picture to the name label to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs (images and labels together) learners can then order the pairs from the least number of sides to the most (or vice versa!) 2D shapes included are oval, ellipse, semi circle, circle, triangle, equilateral triangle, right-angled triangle, square, rectangle, trapezium, parallelogram, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon. This 2D shape matching set could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help remember the number of sides and/or cross-check the name/spelling of individual shapes if unsure when writing these down. This ‘shape match’ set could also be used for a variety of ways, both inside and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the 2D shape pictures cards or all the name label cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes x7 sheets in portrait orientation to better understand what tens and ones/units are - looking at numbers from 1 to 99. 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. This resource has been designed to be shared with learners at a slower pace where what tens and ones/units are does not yet make sense to them. This resource could be used as a whole class introduction to tens and ones/units - displayed on a white board and completed with the help of learners. This resource could also be used as part of online teaching and learning about tens and ones/units. Resource layout Page 1. Introduces learners to ‘ones’ and how ten ones can be positioned on a row or column to become a ‘ten’. Why we do this is made clear. Learners are introduced to the vocabulary ‘ones’, ‘ten/ten stick/tens stick/tens/tens sticks’, ’row’, ‘column’, ‘vertical’ and 'horizontal’. Page 2. Looks at why when ten ones become a stick of ten and how it is helpful to use a different colour for tens and ones. Page 2 also looks at images of ‘tens sticks’ and ‘ones’ and how these are counted and written as numbers. Page 3. Identifies how a large group of ‘ones’ can become confusing and tricky to count. Page 3 models how to count these ones - counting ten at a time and how these ‘groups of ten’ become ‘tens’ while the remaining ‘ones’ stay as ‘ones’. How this is written as a number is also clearly shown. Learners are introduced to the vocabulary ‘swapping/exchanging’, ‘left over’ and ‘group’. Page 4. Shows learners how they can draw their own ‘stick of ten’ and ‘ones’ and provides an opportunity for learners to practise grouping ten 'ones’ as ‘tens’ and writing this as a number. Page 5. Looks at what each digit in a number represents, e.g. in the number ’36’ the ‘3’ is the number of tens and the ‘6’ is for the ‘ones’. This is also modelled visually and learners are given the opportunity to practise writing the numbers ’27’ and ’45’ as ‘tens’ and ‘ones’ as well as drawing these numbers as ‘tens sticks’ and ‘ones’ squares. Page 6. Looks at numbers with no ‘tens’ (numbers 1 to 9). Learners are given the opportunity to count and write two numbers without a ‘ten’ - 8 and 5. Numbers 10 to 19 are identified as only having one ten and learners have the opportunity to count and write the numbers where 14 and 17 are represented visually. Page 7. Looks at numbers with ‘more than one ten’ in them - from 20 to 99. ‘Hundreds’ are not mentioned in this resource.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes x7 sheets in landscape orientation to investigate which numbers are odd and even from 1 to 10. 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. This resource could precede the ‘odd/even numbers investigations’ to 20/ 100 - both of these resources are also available. 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 10) to find this out for themselves. Pages 2 to 6 Learners systematically work their way through the numbers (in order) from 1 to 10. For each number learners cut out and share out the correct number of ‘sharing spots’, alternating between placing (then sticking once happy) a dot on the left tall box then a dot on right tall box (repeated) until the correct total 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 at the base of each sheet (on the left) 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. Suggestion Coloured sticky dots could be used instead of the ‘sharing spots’ if you have these and if easier. Using ‘sticky dots’ instead would save learners needing to cut out and stick down the ‘sharing spots’ provided which may help make this activity simpler.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes x2 landscape orientation pdfs to investigate odd and even numbers up to 100. What’s it for? This resource investigates odd and even numbers up to 100. Learners identify both odd and even numbers on a hundred number square using two different colours which should help them see a clear pattern with the numbers. To consolidate what they have discovered learners then reinforce this knowledge through a cut and stick activity on page 2. 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 features a hundred number square and simple instructions for learners to circle or colour each number (red for odd numbers and green for even numbers) depending on whether the numbers are odd or even. Learners will need to be familiar with what ‘odd’ and ‘even’ means and if they don’t already know which of these numbers are odd or even they will need to know how to work this out. After completing the 100 number square there is a question (in the blue cloud shape on the left) asking learners ‘What do you notice?’ - this is to encourage learners to identify that once the numbers have been coloured there is a red/green repeating colour pattern. There is a space on the left for learners to record their own answer to this in the blue box provided or learners could articulate their observations to an adult who could write this for them as needed. There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of page 1 (on the left) as well as recording the number date at the top (on the right). Page 2 features two large boxes - red for odd numbers (on the left) and green for even numbers (on the right). At the base of sheet there are x15 (random) numbers (up to 100) for learners to cut out (following the dotted lines) and sort into the red/green boxes above. Learners could use their completed page 1 as a reference to help with completing page 2. There is a clear space at the top of page 2 (on the left) for learners to write their name as well as recording the number date (on the right). What’s needed? Page 1 Learners will need, a red and green pencil/crayon/felt tipped pen - a pencil If using pen I would encourage learners to ‘circle’ each number (rather than ‘colouring them in’) to avoid the paper becoming saturated with pen - particularly if learners will then use page 1 as a reference to complete page 2. Circling numbers (instead of ‘colouring them in’) would be the most effective use of time for this activity. Page 2 Learners will need: - a pencil - scissors - a glue stick Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we are happy to make changes.

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. 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. How to use it? 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). Learners will need a pair of scissors, a glue stick and a pencil to complete this activity. 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. Page 3. 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.

This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 30, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Smarties included! What’s it for? This resource has been designed to investigate collecting data in a step by step, meaningful way. There are three steps in this investigation, sorting and counting the data (Smarties), organising and recording the data (onto a bar chart) and the last step - answering questions about the data. Your learners should be data handling experts at the end of this and may be allowed to eat their Smarties as a reward (alternatively paper Smarties are provided!) Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Smarties’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one tube of Smarties - each learner will need a tube each! Learners could be given a real tube with either real or ‘paper/cardboard Smarties’ inside. See attachment included to cut out and give your learners a random selection of paper Smarties instead. I have found tubes of Smarties have an average of x30 Smarties per tube but if you are giving learners paper/cardboard Smarties this really can be any number of course to fit their ability. The maximum number of one colour of Smarties which will fit on to the bar chart is 12. Page 1 Learners are to sort the Smarties in the tube into x8 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and brown). Learners then count the number of Smarties in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each colour group of Smarties. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 Smarties (for each colour group). Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same tube/number of Smarties. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.

Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Skittles’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one random amount (portion) of Skittles - each learner will need their own portion. Learners could be given a real Skittles or ‘paper/cardboard Skittles’. On the bar chart there is space for up to x16 Skittles of one colour so the amount of Skittles given to learners can be any number to fit their ability, however no more than x16 of any one colour group if you intend for learners to use the bar chart (pages 2 or 5). Page 1 Learners are to sort their portion of Skittles into x5 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green and purple). Learners then count the number of Skittles in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘colour’ boxes for each colour group of Skittles. Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same number (portion) of Skittles.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes one resource - two pages featuring x12 ‘half’ problems (using fruit/veg) to complete - each of the x12 questions involves sharing the total amount (from 1 to 12) into two equal groups - ‘halves’. The learner will discover which numbers between 1 and 12 can and cannot be halved and of those numbers which can be halved equally learners will identify how much ‘half’ is. What’s it for? This resource introduces learners to the concept of what ‘half’ is in a practical, systematic way using numbers under 12. Learners draw a line from each piece of fruit to the plate/s below until all pieces of fruit have been allocated to a plate. Where the number of pieces of fruit on the plates is the same that number can be split in ‘half’ and where the number of pieces of fruit on the plates is not the same - these numbers can not be split in half. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children and pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional support with their learning. Resource layout Learners draw a line from each fruit/veg to each ‘plate’ pictured below to systematically share out the total number of items (fruit/veg) each time until all have been shared (or not!) Where the total number is ‘even’ (and the fruit/veg can be shared out equally) the learner can write the number of fruit/veg on one plate (the ‘half’ amount) on the line underneath at the end of the question (e.g.) Half of 2 is …4. For the even numbers (which can successfully be split equally into half!) the learner can ‘circle’ the green ‘tick’ displayed, for the odd numbers (which cannot be shared equally into half!) the learner can ‘circle’ the red ‘cross’ displayed before moving on to the next question. At the end of the second sheet there are x12 matching questions about each individual number to recap on which of the numbers between 1 and 12 can/cannot be split equally into half. The colour of the box around each question correlates to the colour of the question completed above guiding the learner more clearly (visually) back to each question box above to check their finding if needed. Recommendations Small objects can be placed on top of each fruit/veg (I have successfully used small coloured matchsticks with this resource if these are not deemed a choking hazard for little learner/s). Once the correct number of matchsticks/items have been counted out onto each individual fruit/veg (above the plates) these can then be physically moved (again, as the learner says “One for you, one for me” out loud each time) to one of the plates.

What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for children in the EYFS. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to give learners an opportunity to practise measuring the length of simple shapes using cm (up to 25cm). How to use it? The first page is an ‘information sheet’ - introducing learners to what a ‘centimetre’ is and what it is used for in images and words. Pages 2 to 4 (numbered 1-3) provide practical opportunity for learners to use the images of the rulers provided to carefully measure the length of each object (image) featured. Page number 1 focuses on ‘stationery’, page number 2 on ‘kitchen items’ and page number 3 on ‘tools’. Page 3 uses the vocabulary ‘longer’ and ‘shorter’ and looks at the difference (in cm) between the longest and shortest tool - which may be a new concept for some learners and so may require some support. Suggestion I would encourage learners to draw a vertical line from the end of each object to the number on the ruler above (using a pencil and ruler!) to be sure of what the total length for each item is. Important… This resource has been designed to provide learners with an opportunity to practice measuring using the images of rulers marked with cm. These rulers are illustrations of rulers and not exact centimetres. It is printed on each sheet that the ‘illustrations in this resource are not to scale’.

For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the various lines of symmetry within x8 2D shapes. This investigation can be done by cutting/folding (ideally first) then recording these finding by drawing the lines of symmetry (using a ruler) onto the shapes on the sheet. Black and white AND colour versions of both sheets (cut/fold, drawing lines versions) included. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support. This resource may also be suitable for children in EYFS although with younger ages it would probably be a good idea to upscale the sheets to a larger size (on a photocopier/scanner) first. How to use it? The learner can explore lines of symmetry in two ways, either using a pencil and ruler or cutting out the shapes and folding them to investigate the lines of symmetry. Suggestion I would encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry within these 2D shapes by first cutting out the shapes (using the colour/black and white version designed for this - see pages 3 and 4). Once pupils have investigated these by folding they could then use pages 1/2 (colour/black and white) to record their findings with a pencil and ruler. Using safety mirrors along side cutting and folding AND when recording the ‘answers’ (using a pencil and ruler) will really help pupils to become clear and accurate in their mind as to whether they have found the line of symmetry. Important… Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line ‘through’ this centre point in order to be accurate in their findings. Answers are included on a separate page in the same format which learners could use for quick, easy reference. Resource Details lines of symmetry (or recording ‘answers after investigation) using a pencil and ruler in colour (page 3) and black and white (page 4). Pupils will need a pencil and a ruler each. *Investigating lines of symmetry by folding. x8 2D shapes will need cutting out (these could be pre-cut for pupils who find cutting out challenging). Pale grey, dotted ‘cutting out guidelines’ are included. Pupils will need a pencil (to ensure their write their name on their cut-out shapes!) and a pair of scissors each. 2D shapes included are right angled triangle, equilateral triangle, heart, circle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.

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 ‘ten green bottles’ themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 10. Each green bottle (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 bottles 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 bottle 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 bottle 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 the green bottles have been cut out and assembled place on a table top and shuffle, ready for learners to match. Learners then 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 bottle that they are holding over to look for the answer displayed on the back of the bottle (e.g. revealing ‘1’) Encouraging learners to be autonomous . Resource 2 - once learners have matched the number bonds to 10 bottle into pairs they place these onto the bottle outline shapes. Learners then write the number bonds on the horizontal line provided and for each bottle number written they colour/tick this number of tiny bottles outline shapes above for both bottles. This enables learners to check that each pair 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 bottle shape for the numerals 1 - 10 to be written if helpful for learners though blank should be fine for the purpose of counting. Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This pdf download includes x3 pages designed in landscape orientation featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting in 10’s up to 100. This resource has been designed in black and white for easy, clear printing. What’s it for? This resource includes x3 pages, each featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting up to 100 in 10’s. This is a cut and stick activity. A ‘writing numbers’ version is also available if your learner does not like cutting/sticking! Learners can be given more or less support with this cut/stick activity depending on which sheet they are given. The last page (3) includes the answers - set out in the same design for quick easy reference. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as older pupils needing additional support with their learning. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception. This has been designed as a ‘cut and stick’ activity for learners who may find ‘writing’ numbers challenging or those who love to cut and stick! The numbers to cut out are positioned at the base of the sheets - these could be pre-cut by an adult to speed up the activity or to support learners who find cutting challenging/de-motivating. Cutting ‘dots’ are included to guide learners where to cut ‘out’ (rather than cut ‘up’ !) the numbers! Resource layout Page 1 The first page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can cut and stick the correct 10’s number. The numbers ’30’ and ‘100’ have already been typed in the boxes, leaving x8 number gaps for the learner to complete. With two completed numbers to help this is the least challenging sheet in this set. Page 2 This page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where learners are to stick the correct 10’s number. This blank version can be printed and the adult can write some more of the 10’s numbers in, leaving some gaps for the learner to complete the boxes. If given to a learner as it is (without any numbers written on) this page (page 2) is the more challenging sheet in this set, particularly as the numbers to ‘cut out’ (at the base of the sheet) are intentionally ‘mixed up’. Page 3 The last, page 3 is the answers page - ALL numbers completed - making the answers clear to learners. This makes page 3 a helpful reference sheet which learners could use to check their answers themselves - encouraging autonomy. Page 3 could be used as a reference resource for display. There is a space on each sheet for learners to record the number date (top, right) and write their name.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This game is made up of three resources. A set of x6 different coloured ‘Washing Line Game Boards’ (x6 sheets), a set of x5 ‘Counting in 2’s socks’ sheets (x5 sheets) to cut up and use as cards and a matching set of counting in 2’s (sock!) number lines and set of x7 number lines (x1 sheet), providing clear visual support for learners (who need this) while playing this game. x12 pdf sheets, all landscape orientation, are included in total. What’s it for? This download includes a game (for up to x6 players) to practise counting in 2’s up to 50 using pairs of socks as a helpful visual guide. This game has been designed to encourage learners to think about ordering two’s numbers separately from the predictable counting pattern. Learners will still need to use their knowledge of counting in 2’s to help them but through playing this game their ability to recall shorter sequences of 2’s numbers should improve. A visual reference sock number line to assist learners is included to be used as needed. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. To play this game resource 1 and 2 are both needed. Resource 1 Washing Line Game Boards x6 washing line boards (sheets) in x6 different colours are included - red/yellow/green/blue/purple/pink. Simple instructions (as well as what is needed to play the game) are included at the top of every ‘Washing Line Game Board’. Resource 2 Counting in 2’s ‘Sock number cards’ x5 sheets featuring pairs of socks numbered from 2 up to 50. Printing these sock cards onto card (instead of paper) will prevent the numbers being visible through the paper when placed face down to play the game (helping to increase fairness and eliminate cheating!) Resource 3 Counting in 2’s number lines to 50 (with socks) x1 sheet which includes x7 number lines. There is one black and white (neutral) version and one colour to match each of the ‘Washing Line Game Board’ so each player can have their own number line to assist them during the game (if needed). Game tips encourage learners to remember where players return their 2’s number cards to the grid will increase their chances of winning! to also increase winning chances encourage players not to choose to keep/collect the same number cards sequence that other players are collecting. use a ‘Counting in 2’s socks number line’ as a reference if needed to give learners more support or use without to give learners more challenge There are not enough of every sock number card for everyone to successfully choose and use the same sock number cards for their sequences

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes two resources (counting cards and game boards) to use together to play a simple game. x2 sheets are portrait orientation (rabbit cards) and x4 sheets are landscape orientation (carrot game boards). Together there are x6 pdf sheets. What’s it for? This resource uses a rabbit/bunny theme as learners can count (the pairs of ears) to help them as needed. This resource has been designed for learners to apply their knowledge of counting in 2’s (0 - 30) to playing a game. Four boards are included, each with x4 missing 2’s numbers. The first player to correctly fill their 2’s missing number gaps wins. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as early years children or older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details *Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards Page 1 includes x15 cards each featuring one rabbit (with two ears!) and a ‘two’s number’ underneath. Cards on page one are from 2 - 30. Page 2 includes an additional 24 and 28 card - to be used to play the ‘Carrot game’. These Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards can also be used on their own to practise ordering numbers (counting in twos). Carrot Game Boards (Counting in 2’s) For four players though one learner could use these on their own to practise matching and counting in 2’s (also using the ‘Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards’) Carrot Game - Instructions Needed to play game… One board (A-D) per player (x4 boards in total) One set of ‘Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards’ (AND one extra ’24’ card) To prepare - cut up, shuffle and place 'Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards’ face down in a grid. How to play… Players take turns to select one card from the grid. If selected card fits into either the ‘upper’ or ‘lower’ sequence (above/below ‘grass’ on board) player keeps and positions this card on their board. The player then has another turn. If that card does not fit either sequence on the player’s board the card is returned and it is the next players turn. WINNER matches all (x4) 2’s cards correctly first! Game and card instructions are included at the top of each ‘Carrot game board’ and ‘Counting in 2’s Rabbit cards’ resource to cut out and keep.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x3 sets of blank subtraction sums, x1 black and white and x2 rainbow themed, x5 pages in total. All portrait orientation, in PDF format. What’s it for? These blank sums enable learners to practise simple subtraction sums with plenty of space to use practical resources (ideally matching their interests) to support them. Numbers can be written on the sheets ‘for’ learners or they could have access to a dice/number cards to write their own sums. Who’s it for? These (blank) subtraction sums have been designed for pupils in years one and two or older students needing additional support with their learning. Resource details There is a line underneath each box on which to write the numbers. Subtraction Sums (one sheet) Rainbow coloured (blank) This pdf includes x4 blank subtraction sums on one page, each a different colour making it clear to learners which sum they are working on. Subtraction Sums (two sheets) Rainbow coloured (blank) This page includes TWO pages both featuring x4 blank subtraction sums, x8 sums in total. Two (numbered) sheets provide more sums and so more challenge for your learner/s. Each sum is a different colour making it clear to learners which sum they are working on. Subtraction Sums (two sheets) Black and white sums (blank) This pdf includes TWO pages both featuring x4 blank subtraction sums, x8 sums in total. Two (numbered) sheets provide more sums and so more challenge for your learner/s. Even though this resource is black and white each sum is a different shade of grey/black which alternates to help make it clear to learners which sum they are working on. Recommendations Small objects can be placed in each box as long as these are not deemed a choking hazard for your little learner/s). Suggestions of small objects to count include: small coloured matchsticks buttons pom poms coloured dot/spot stickers small ‘themed’ stickers especially if matched to your learner’s interests Learners could have access to number cards and/or roll dice to make their own subtraction sums - encouraging autonomy. Learners could then draw the number of spots or use ‘dot stickers’ to record the numbers chosen (on a card) or rolled (using dice) in the boxes. Top tip When working on subtraction sums especially if learners are making their own sums - always encourage them to put the larger of the two numbers first to then ‘take away’ the ‘smaller’ amount from this to find the total. Learners will need to move the total amount (of objects) counted into the first box (on the left) to the box in the centre to then ‘subtract’ the amount from there. Learners can draw the total number of objects left in the last box (on the right). There is a line underneath each box on which to write the numbers.
