What’s included? This download includes six pages (x6 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for number names from ‘one’ to ‘twenty’ (page 1) and the answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2). The wordsearch letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young readers especially pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Knowing these number names (words) is also an important part of maths in these year groups as questions and information often includes the number name as the written word (e.g. ‘three’) instead of the more easily recognisable numeral (e.g. ‘3’). Resource layout The twenty number name words have been organised into four groups of five, clearly showing all hidden number words in order up to twenty. There are x20 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (up and down - both directions). Directional arrows on the answer sheet (page 2) make it clear exactly where to look if learners get stuck. The version of this word search which includes numerals is ideal for those learners either needing the additional support of having the numeral AND the number name shown together. For learners who would like an extra challenge, the numerals from 1 - 20 are all also hidden within the wordsearch. Once the learner has located each of these they could be circled on the wordsearch and ticked off in the box below. The numerals have been included in a variety of font styles to encourage learners to get used to recognising numerals written differently. On the colour/black and white versions of the word search there is a space in the four boxes (under the wordsearch where the hidden words are displayed) for learners to write the numerals next to the number names themselves. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible - if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused, or the black and white version is a good version for photocopying.

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 download includes one A4, portrait pdf to practise finding ’ten more’ and ’ten less’ than various numbers up to 100. 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).

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 A4, portrait sheets, pdf format. What’s it for? These resources are to practise counting up to x10 items (fruit), writing the total number of each group of fruit then recording ’one more’ OR ‘one less’ for each by either crossing out a piece of fruit (to find one less) or drawing an additional piece of fruit (to find ‘one more’). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for children in the early years, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. How to use this resource? The sheet is organised into five different coloured (fruit) groups, each group has less than 10 objects (fruit) in total. Learners count the number of pieces of fruit in each group in turn then write the total amount of fruit in the box (in the centre). For 'One less fruit’ Once learners have counted and written the total number of pieces of fruit in the centre box, learners can then cross off one of the pieces of fruit for each group to make clear what ‘one less’ is before writing the total in the second box (on the right). For 'One more fruit’ Once learners have counted and written the total number of pieces of fruit in the centre box, learners can then draw ‘one more’ fruit for each group (a small amount of space is available for this) to make clear what ‘one more’ is before writing the total in the second box (on the right). 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 x4 sheets, all portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This activity has been designed for learners to look more closely at a set of common words, which are important and useful to be able to read, write and spell. Learners match words with images by completing two-piece jigsaw puzzles. This set focuses on all ‘number names’ from one to twenty - all words included have a matching image featuring the numeral and correct number of objects (2D shapes). This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently or pupils needing some individual support. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds (and words/numbers) for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words as well as counting practise and time spent recognising numerals to 20. This resource may be suitable for older learners with additional learning needs. How to use it? An adult pre-cuts along the dotted lines and the set of x20 words (and images) can be shuffled and placed face-up on the carpet/a table top for learners to look at and match. This number names set has 2D shapes to count for each number to help learners identify each numeral. Resource Details It is possible to ‘sound out’ most of these words - whether ‘sounding out’ is possible (or not) is indicated by a ‘tick’ or ‘cross’ symbol at the top of the picture and word box. The graphemes in those words which can be sounded out are underlined - making clear how many sounds are in each word. Those words which are tricky and cannot be ‘sounded out’ have a small ‘cross’ symbol at the top of the picture and word box, in addition - these words are underlined with one (single) line. Key At the top-right of each ‘word box’ there is a coloured ‘triangle’. This colour indicates which phonics phase that word fits in with, see details below: pink triangles indicate that the words are from phase 2 purple triangles indicate that the words are from phase 3 turquoise triangles indicate that the words are from phase 5 underlined letters indicates that the letters (together) have one sound red letters indicate the tricky/irregular letters/sounds. This colour-coded ‘key’ is included at the top of each sheet to make this colour-coded system clear. It is possible to ‘work out’ some words which contain some red letters if the focus is placed on the black letters in those words which should be sounds learners know (depending on which phonics-phase they are competent in). The blue box outline colour indicates that these words are all part of the ‘number names’ set.

This download includes x4 landscape orientation pdf sheets. What’s it for? This is a simple game to play to reinforce knowledge of number bonds to 10. This has been designed to build on a learners knowledge and improve the speed of recalling number bond facts. Who’s it for? Designed for Y1 and Y2, suitable for Reception aged children. This is a two player game so ideal for a parent and child or support assistant and individual child needing some extra help in remembering these number bonds. However, once a learner knows what to do this could be played on their own/with a friend. Resource Details This is a simple, easy to play game to reinforce number bonds to 10 knowledge in a fun, easy way, perfect to play at a table/desk…or on the floor! Everything needed to play this simple game is included in the pdf and the instructions are clearly printed on the game. Of course these can be adapted to suit each learner as long as it is fun and they are learning that’s the key thing! There are two options when playing this game. Option one involves covering number cards with ‘cover cards’ and writing the number bond pairs down. Option two involves cutting up and pairing number cards. Both involve some cutting, only option one needs a pencil for each player. Recommendation Printing this resource onto card is strongly recommended. Printing onto paper could mean numbers are visible through the paper risking the game being ‘unfair’ (and who enjoys a game like that?!) To make the game last for years, print onto card, cut up pieces and laminate and store in a zip-lock wallet. If you do this and would like a matching label making for your storage bag - just ask!

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 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.

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

What’s included? This download includes two resources (x8 sheets) to practise ‘counting in 2’s’ up to 100 AND 200, using pairs of socks as a helpful visual guide. 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 Resource 1 Counting in 2’s up to 100 The layout of pages 1 - 2 includes x4 rows and x6 columns of boxes each with pairs of socks from 0 to 100 (counting in 2’s). Page 3 includes x5 sets of recap questions - pairs of socks hanging on a washing line. Each set of recap questions is a different colour. Each row includes one random ‘helping number’ to help keep learners on track as they count in 2’s. The ‘helping numbers’ included are 6, 22, 28, 44, 50, 70, 76, 92. There is a clear space for each learner to write their name on the left of every page (left, vertically pages 1 and 2, horizontally on page 3). There is also a space to record the number date (top right, pages 1 and 2 / top, left and vertically page 3). Resource 2 Counting in 2’s up to 200 The layout of pages 1 - 4 includes x4 rows and x6 columns of boxes each with pairs of socks from 0 to 100 (counting in 2’s).

Resource 1 ‘Counting in 2’s (up to 48)’ This resource is organised as x4 columns and x6 rows. There is a ‘0’ outside of the grid - learners begin by writing ‘2’. The largest number to write is ’48’. Each row includes one random ‘helping number’ to help keep learners on track as they count. The ‘helping numbers’ included are 6, 10, 20, 32, 36 and 42. Resource 2 ‘Counting in 2’s (up to 96)’ This resource is organised as x4 columns and x6 rows, repeated across both pages. There is a ‘0’ outside of the grid - learners begin by writing ‘2’. The last number to write is ’94’. Each row includes one random ‘helping number’ to help keep learners on track as they count in 2’s. The ‘helping numbers’ included are 6, 10, 20, 32, 36 and 42, 50, 60, 66, 78, 84 and 96.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! Register your interest now and be first in line for significant early bird discounts at https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes five A4, portrait pdf sheets to investigate ‘2D shapes and their properties’, presented as a ‘workbook’ for learners to complete through investigation. A sixth sheet has also been included as a set of tangible 2D shapes for learners to hold and investigate while completing this investigation. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children (to complete with support/as a group), pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The six 2D shapes investigated in this workbook are a circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. Page 1 is the ‘workbook’ cover and includes a clear space for learners to write their name. There is related 2D shape information included on the cover for learners to read as well as a visual list of what learners will need to complete the workbook - to encourage autonomy. Pages 2 and 3 include six sets of questions (one set for each shape) all in the same layout. Learners are to complete this information so that the information becomes a set of clear, (accurate!) facts about each shape. Where learners do not know the information (to complete these questions) they can investigate each shape using the clear picture provided and count e.g. the number of sides of each shape and ‘circle’ the corners/vertices to complete the information. Additionally I have included a set of these 2D shapes to print out (onto card) and hold and use during this investigation. To complete these pages there are ‘2D shape names’ to cut out on page 4 (along the right hand side) which learners should be made aware of (dotted lines indicate where to cut). An adult could pre-cut these x6 shape names for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting frustrating/demotivating. Pages 4 and 5 include the same information (as pages 1 and 2) completed in the same layout for learners to check their findings. There are also some ‘quick match’ questions at the very end of page 5 to recap what they have learnt. Page 6 a seperate set of these 2D shapes to print out onto card and (ideally) laminate to hold and use while completing this investigation.

This download includes four A4, (x2 landscape/x2 portrait orientation) pdf sheets to play the ‘2D Shapes Robot Game’. Two larger game boards are included. 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 help learners recognise and name 2D shapes as well as thinking about their properties e.g. the number of sides and corners/vertices. Resource Details The 2D shapes focused on in this game are investigated in this activity are semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. To play this game learners will need; a pencil, scissors, a glue stick Page 1 includes clear step by step game instructions. Page 2 includes two ‘game boards’ and a set of small 2D shapes for each player (dotted lines guide where to cut). Players will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game. An adult could pre-cut the small 2D shapes for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.

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 three A4, portrait pdf sheets to label seven ‘2D shapes and their properties’ on the Robot’s control panel. What’s it for? This resource is to recognise/read and match words/vocabulary to 2D shape images to reinforce/develop further understanding of 2D shapes and their properties. 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 The seven 2D shapes investigated in this activity are a semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. Learners will need a pencil (to write their name on page 1), scissors and a glue stick to complete this activity. Page 1 features the Robot’s ‘control panel’ which has been enlarged from page 2 to provide a large size and clear space for learners to label the different properties of each shape. The dotted lines on page 1 indicate where learners should position the different labels. Learners do not cut out any part of page 1! Page 2 includes four sets of labels (there are exactly the correct amount of labels provided to complete each 2D shape featured. These labels are the names of the shapes, the number of sides each shape has, the number of vertices each shape has, whether the shapes have ‘curved’ sides (only two do - the circle and semi circle). The green ticks can be stuck next to these two shapes. All labels have dotted lines indicate where to cut. Page 3 includes the same 2D shapes on the robot’s control panel to cut out and hold (to investigate). It would be most helpful for learners to have access to a set of these while completing this activity especially for learners who do not know the information (to complete the labels). An adult could pre-cut the labels for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for 3D shapes and related words (page 1) and the answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2) in colour. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners, especially pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? Knowing these 3D shape names (and related words) is an important part of maths throughout school and in the wider world. This word search makes the spellings clear and introduces/reinforces shape related vocabulary. Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The 3D shape names (and related words) have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden ‘shape words’ below the word search. There are x16 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (backwards not forwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally. Words to find are base, face, edge, flat, curved, round, sphere, cone, cube, cuboid, prism, cylinder, pyramid, straight, vertex, hemisphere. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words, enabling all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible in order to find all hidden words. If words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Useful for… I find word searches like this are ideal for ‘quiet times’ during the day. Word searches are also ideal as an introduction to a topic, follow on activity for early finishers, a fun approach to a topic themed and as an engaging homework task - supporting reading, spelling and maths.
