Whatâs included?
This download includes two resources split across three A4 pages (portrait orientation) pdf format. These resources have been designed to use together.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for early years and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Whatâs it for?
This resource is a carrot themed âhands onâ 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 âAvenirâ font makes numbers easy to read.
How to use it
Print the carrot cards resource and page 2 of the ârecord sheetâ 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. â10â with â0â.
If a learner is unsure which number e.g. â9â 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 â1â) 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 âNumber bonds to 10 checkerâ 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.

Whatâs included?
x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format.
Whatâs 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.
Whoâs 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 âanswersâ (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.
ImportantâŠ
Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line âthroughâ 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 âanswers 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 âcutting out guidelinesâ 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.

Whatâs included?
This download includes x26 simple, predictable alphabet rhymes for every letter of the alphabet - in colour AND black and white (so x52 sheets in total). Every rhyme has been set out landscape orientation.
Whatâs it for?
These rhymes have been designed for learners to practise reading simple words (images make it clear what the noun-words are!) and practise each phonic sound using a pointer (or pointy finger!) Some rhymes are more âsillyâ than others(!) This is a unique, fun and engaging way to practise reading and phonics that all learners will enjoy. These rhymes also provide a great opportunity to practise using one to one correspondence - an important early reading skill.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Resource Details
The layout of every letter/sound rhyme is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent.
Resource layout
The font used is âSassoon Infant Stdâ - size 50, so a good, âeasy to readâ size.
Each rhyme follows this structure -
Ants on apples a, a, a.
Ants on apples a, a, a.
Ants on apples a, a, a.
Ants on apples!
Letters a, b, c, d, e, f ,g h, i, j, l, m, n, p, s include the word âonâ within the rhyme.
Letters k, o, q, r, t, v, w, x, y, z include the word âandâ within the rhyme.
The letter âuâ is âupside-down umbrellas, u, u, uâ.
How to use this resource
Learners might like to practise reading these on their own, in pairs or small groups or even as a class during a whole carpet session, reading/singing along together.
Suggestions
Recommend printing out the colour versions of these (the colours look so lovely!) and laminating each rhyme to help keep them in good condition.
My classes of early years and year one children were really motivated to use these and very good at practising them quietly to themselves using âwhispery voicesâ (so cute!) I found that all learners really enjoyed using these with a âpointerâ which I had a pot of (pointers!) stored with the rhymes, ready to use. Pointers are available separately (left OR right handed) or together at /teaching-resource/resource-13180190

Whatâs included?
This download includes one resource - two pages featuring x12 âhalfâ problems (using fruit/veg) to complete - each of the x12 questions involves sharing the total amount (from 1 to 12) into two equal groups - âhalvesâ. 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 âhalfâ is.
Resource layout
Learners draw a line from each fruit/veg to each âplateâ pictured below to systematically share out the total number of items (fruit/veg) each time until all have been shared (or not!) Learners may find it helpful to say to themselves âOne for you and one for meâ as each item is being distributed to each plate either physically or as the line is being drawn linking the fruit/veg to each plate, every time. Where the total number is âevenâ (and the fruit/veg can be shared out equally) the learner can write the number of fruit/veg on one plate (the âhalfâ amount) on the line underneath at the end of the question (e.g.) Half of 2 is âŠ4.
For the even numbers (which can successfully be split equally into half!) the learner can âcircleâ the green âtickâ displayed, for the odd numbers (which cannot be shared equally into half!) the learner can âcircleâ the red âcrossâ 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 âOne for you, one for meâ out loud each time) to one of the plates.
Useful forâŠ
Once complete this resource makes a useful reference tool to refer back to as needed to assist young learners during various maths linked activities.
This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse.

Whatâs included?
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!
Whoâs 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 âpaper Smartiesâ to cut up and sort/count (if you donât 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 âpaper/cardboard Smartiesâ 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 âtotalâ 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 âcoloured 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 donât need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to âmostâ, âleastâ, âthe sameâ, âthe difference betweenâ, âoddâ and âevenâ numbers.

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 âpaper/cardboard Skittlesâ.
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 âtotalâ 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 âcolourâ 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. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners donât need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to âmostâ, âleastâ, âthe sameâ, âthe difference betweenâ, âoddâ and âevenâ numbers.
