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 addition 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 addition sums with plenty of space to use practical resources (ideally matching their interests) to support them. The large boxes model a clear layout of the addition process to young learners, the different colours for each sum makes it clear to learners which sum they are working on at any one time. 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) addition 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. Addition Sums (one sheet) Rainbow coloured (blank) This pdf includes x4 blank addition sums on one page, each a different colour making it clear to learners which sum they are working on. Addition Sums (two sheets) Rainbow coloured (blank) This page includes TWO pages both featuring x4 blank addition 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. Addition Sums (two sheets) Black and white sums (blank) This pdf includes TWO pages both featuring x4 blank addition sums, x8 sums in total. 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 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 addition 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, writing the total number of spots underneath each box. Top tip When working on addition sums especially if learners are making their own sums - always encourage them to put the larger of the two numbers first to count on from to find the total.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x4 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource is a fun way for learners to practise recognising, naming and counting 2D shapes (up to 12). To be accurate with this activity learners need to be careful and systematic. The 2D shapes featured in this resource are semi circles, circles, triangles equilateral and right angled, squares, rectangles, pentagons and hexagons. Once learners have counted a group they record the total amount of each shape on the record sheet provided. Answers are included as a full colour version making it possible to identify where each different 2D shape is hidden quickly and easily. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for children in the early years, pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. How to use it? Learners identify the x8 different 2D shapes hidden (on page 2) and once they have counted the total number of each shape (maximum number is 12) learners record this total amount on the recording sheet (page 1). Answers are provided on pages 3 and 4 in exactly the same layout for quick, easy reference - encouraging learners to be autonomous in checking their own work (carefully). Suggestion Encourage learners to use a different coloured crayon/felt tip pen when counting each different 2D shape (using page 2). This will make finding and counting each different 2D shape much easier and systematic for learners. Learners don’t need to colour the whole shape - just placing a dot in each as they count will help them to keep track of which shapes they have already counted. This activity could lead onto a simple data handling activity where the total number of each 2D shape counted could be transferred onto a block graph about which your learner/s could be asked questions such as ‘Which group has the most/least shapes?’ ‘How many shapes have 3/4 sides in total?’ etc. Provide ‘answers sheets’ (pages 3 and 4) for groups to share (only once the 2D Shape Eye Spy activity has been completed!) Encourage your learner/s to be autonomous and mark their own work once complete. Important Message ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let us know - we are happy to make changes.

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 pdf sheets to make number fans featuring numerals from 0 to 10. Rainbow Version. Each number is a different colour - in rainbow colour order. What’s it for? This number fan can be used in various ways, including to play games. Learners can have their own number fan to reference while doing number work should they need help in writing numerals. The numbers on the fan can be taken off the ‘ring’ and used to order forwards/backwards or ‘label’ larger groups of objects which have been sorted and counted. They can be used to ‘show’ the answer to maths questions, rather than speaking. 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. How to use this resource 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. Number fans can be used as a personal 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. Number fans can 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. The rainbow colours may help some learners not yet confident with number recognition, who know colours. E.g. if you ask, ‘Can you show me number 3?’ - this could be followed by ‘Can you show me number 3, the orange number? Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) could be ideal where you wish learners to access the contents of the ring e.g. to order the numbers. Alternatively a short loop of wool/string could be tied/untied to achieve the same effect. A standard metal keyring works well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the ring. I recommend that each number is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf.

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’.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x5 pages, landscape orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to investigate the concept of ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ and explore vocabulary linked to this concept. The images included (as they are presented) don’t necessarily reflect whether (in the real world) the item is bigger/smaller than another. For example the yellow teacup (page 5) appears ‘bigger’ than the tree (also page 5) whereas in ‘real life’ this is not the case. Learners need to make well thought through choices when selecting pairs of images which are bigger/smaller than each other and be able to explain their reasoning! Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years aged children. Resource Details Page 1 Using page 1 through an adult led discussion learners could explore what the concept ‘big ‘ and ‘small’ means. There are x10 pairs of images featured on page 1 which are big/small when compared in the ‘real world’. Learners could first identify which is the big/small item in each pair. There are x10 pairs of images, which are big/small (when compared in the ‘real world’). Learners could first identify which is the big/small item in each pair. is a visual reference sheet which could be used for display purposes but has been designed to be used as a point of discussion about what ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ means could also be used as a ‘front cover’ to create an ‘activity booklet’ if attached to pages 2, 3 and 6 (once complete) with each learners name clearly displayed on the front of the page (in the space provided) also works as an ‘answer sheet’ as images featured in the activity are displayed here in pairs for learners to check with Answers These are a guide for one way the items could be paired when thinking about these items in the ‘real world’.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This Opposites ‘Spot the difference’ activity includes x2 landscape, pdf sheets - the activity (page 1) and answers (page 2). What’s it for? This activity has been designed to encouraged learners to think more about opposites, what these mean and identify where they are shown in the images. Learners also identify the word labels for these and match them with a simple line - using a short ruler may help with accuracy. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students needing additional support with learning. Resource Details Page 1 This resource explores the concept of ‘opposites’ through two pictures showing the same scene with x9 differences (between the pictures) to identify. These differences are all ‘opposites’. Learners draw a circle around the part of the scene where they identify an opposite, they could used a different colour for each pair of opposites. Once learners identify a difference between the picture scenes they find the matching labels below. Learners link the two opposite (word) labels using a straight line connecting these words. Page 2 The layout of this page is exactly the same layout at page 1 with the opposite differences identified in both picture scenes with a circle around the image and lines connecting the word label to make these clear. The opposites included are - on/off, up/down, sit/stand, sunny/rainy, shut/open, dry/wet, above/below, alive/not alive and in front/behind.

What is it? This download includes x6 sheets (portrait orientation) featuring x27 left-hand/finger ‘pointers’ and x27 right-hand/finger ‘pointers’ in rainbow/skin tone colours both as solid colours and outline only. x54 pointers included in total. What’s it for? These are for learners to hold and use to ‘point’ to their learning. These pointers were designed to help develop one-to-one correspondence when reading but could be just as helpful for a variety of activities, such as ordering the alphabet, counting objects etc. These resources are ideal to use alongside our ‘ants on apples’ set of rhymes - also available. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. If you use a ‘pointer’ you can guarantee they would like to use one too! How to make it? Print onto white card, follow dotted lines to cut out each hand/pointer shape, attach a wooden lolly stick to the back with sticky tape and they’re ready to use! We recommend keeping a (rainbow coloured!) set in a little pot in the reading area for learners to help themselves to. Colour choice can be very important and it can be especially motivating to be able to choose/use your favourite colour. You may wish for learners to have their own pointer, maybe matching their skin tone or in their favourite colour. Learners could write their name on the back of their own pointers for safekeeping.

One A4 pdf in landscape orientation What’s it for? To practise counting in 5’s from 0 to 100. 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 Details The resource explores counting in 5’s from 5 to 100 using star fish (which have x5 points) as a clear visual guide. Learners who are ‘new’ to counting in fives can count the ‘points’ of the stars each time which should help support them, making a great introduction to counting in 5’s.

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 x4 A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘counting in 5’s’ from 0 to 100 (and back) using ‘rainbow’ and ‘two-coloured’ circle/square shaped ‘beads’. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise ‘counting in 5’s to 100’ (and back!) while developing fine motor control. Whilst working on this activity learners will improve their number recognition and ability to order numbers, following the counting in 5’s pattern. Learners will compare numbers and consider which numbers come before/next in the pattern. This activity is ideal to consolidate knowledge of counting in 5’s, while keeping learners busy and independent. 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. Differentiation For learners who are less familiar with counting in 5’s the rainbow colour versions of this resource offers ‘more’ support. This is due to the limited amount of numbers in each colour and the rainbow colour pattern - learners can rely more on the pattern of the colours to guide them. The ‘two colour’ versions (orange and purple) provide more challenge. This is due to there being lots of numbers in both orange and purple, meaning learners need to work harder - focusing more on the numbers than the colours to identify ‘which’ number comes next in the number pattern while the two colours (orange and purple) provide ‘some’ support. Resource Details The layout includes x6 rows and x9 columns of circular/square shaped beads numbered from 0 - 100. Beads are arranged in ‘rainbow’/‘two-colour’ order to help guide and motivate learners in finding the next number (and colour) in the pattern. Dotted lines guide where to cut and where to punch holes is clearly indicated. The hole to punch is 5mm in size though a smaller hole punch could be used which would increase the fine motor skills challenge! Learners will each need a piece of string/ribbon/pipecleaner to thread their paper/card beads onto. Square beads or round beads? The square beads are much easier and quicker to prepare, requiring only straight cuts to separate them, saving time. Suggestions We recommend that these beads are printed onto card to improve their durability. Learners who might find ordering these numbers challenging may benefit from having a ‘counting in 5’s’ number line reference.

The ‘two colour’ versions (yellow and blue) provide more challenge. This is due to there being lots of numbers in both yellow and blue, meaning learners need to work harder - focusing more on the numbers than the colours to identify ‘which’ number comes next in the number pattern while the two colours (yellow and blue) provide ‘some’ support. Square beads or round beads? Although we feel that the round beads look equally lovely, the square beads are much easier and quicker to prepare, requiring only straight cuts to separate them, saving time. Resource Details The layout includes x6 rows and x9 columns of circular/square shaped beads numbered from 0 - 50. Beads are arranged in rainbow order to help guide and motivate learners in finding the next number (and colour) in the pattern. Dotted lines guide where to cut and where to punch holes is clearly indicated. The hole to punch is 5mm in size though a smaller hole punch could be used which would increase the fine motor skills challenge. Learners will each need a piece of string/ribbon/pipecleaner to thread their paper/card beads onto. Suggestions We recommend that these beads are printed onto card to improve their durability. Learners who might find ordering these numbers challenging may benefit from having a ‘counting in 2’s’ number line as a reference.

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, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘counting in 1’s’ from 0 to 50 using rainbow coloured circle/square shaped ‘beads’. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise ‘ordering numbers up to 50’ (and back!) while developing fine motor control. Whilst working on this activity learners will improve their number recognition and ability to order numbers. Learners will compare numbers, considering which are bigger/smaller as well as which numbers come before/next. This activity is ideal to keep learners busy and independent. 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.

Learners will each need a piece of string/ribbon/pipecleaner to thread their paper/card beads onto. Suggestions We recommend that these beads are printed onto card to improve their durability whilst learners are busy sorting through the different numbered beads and threading them. Although we feel that the circular beads look equally lovely, the square beads are much easier and quicker to prepare, requiring only straight cuts to separate them. Learners who might find ordering these numbers challenging may benefit from having a number line/number square in front of them to use as a reference. To encourage learners to ‘count back’ from 50 a second set of these beads needs to be used.

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 A4 pages, landscape orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed for learners to consolidate their understanding of number bonds to 5, ideal for a quick recap and to check knowledge. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as older students needing additional support with learning. Resource Details This resource has been designed to be a quick match activity - drawing a simple line to connect the pairs of number bonds. Completing the activity relies on learners having some knowledge to match the pairs as counting objects (to check which pairs total five) are not provided in the lower part of this resource. Page 1 In the upper section learners are to match the number bonds by drawing a line connecting each pair of numbers which make 5. Learners should use the dots provided to begin and end the connecting line between the number bond pairs. These dots can be found as ‘door handle dots’ (on the door of each house) and ‘black dots’ on each ‘moving van’ (positioned above the number). Learners are supported when completing the upper section of this resource as ‘moving boxes’ are provided which learners can count to check. In the lower section learners draw a line to match the number on the taxi with the number on the taxi rank sign which (together) make a total of five. Learners are not supported when completing the lower section of this resource as counting objects (to check which pairs total five) are not provided. Completing this section relies on learners having knowledge to match the pairs. However, for learners who need this support - objects (e.g. x5 miniature cars/small cubes) could be available. Page 2 Answers. This page clearly shows all number bonds matched, displayed in the same layout as page 1 for easy comparison and quick reference. Resource details This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Lines can be drawn on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated). Learners could use a ruler to assist with accurate matching. Important message ANY issues please don’t hesitate to let us know - we are happy to make changes.

Resource Details This resource has been designed to be a ‘quick match’ activity - drawing a simple line to connect the pairs of numbers which (together) make 5. Page 1 On the left learners match the ‘digger number’ (numbers are positioned on the top of each digger) with the matching number of ‘rocks’ (towards the centre line) - drawing a line (from the ‘hole’ dots) to connect each number bond pair which makes 5. On the right the learner is to match the ‘digger number’ (numbers are positioned on the top of each digger) with the number of cones (towards the centre line) which (together) make a total of five. Learners are supported when completing both the left and right section of this resource as ‘rocks’ and ‘traffic cones’ are provided which learners can count to check which total (together) make 5.
