What’s included?
This download includes one A4, landscape pdf sheet to practise counting objects and ordering numbers to 10.
What is it?
This download includes ten clearly numbered green bottles, to support the well known song/rhyme. This sheet is intended to be printed onto card, cut out (individual bottles) and laminated to improve durability (and usability!)
What’s it for?
These green bottles are intended to be hands on, visual props to support the song/rhyme as well as resources to physically count and order to 10 (and back).
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
This has been designed to be a ‘table top’ activity for learners to explore independently. This resource could also be used on a suitable board/wall by placing blue tac/velcro/sticky magnetic strip on the back of each bottle to display and move, count and order.
Learners can count the number of green bottles and order these while saying/singing the rhyme, independently or as part of a group/class. Two blank spare cards are included incase any bottles become lost/damaged.
This resource has designed for an adult to pre-cut all items and present to learners as an activity ready to investigate and explore.

What’s included?
This download includes two 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 an Easter themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 5. Each egg (page 1) once assembled displays the correct number bond on the reverse encouraging learners to be autonomous while they work. Page 2 provides a space to record and check the number bond pairs
Resource details
An adult will need to prepare this resource prior to use. This resource needs
plain A4 white card to print on (one sheet per set)
scissors
a glue stick
*paper scorer
*ruler *Prior to folding the eggs 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 egg pair) to make folding quicker, easier and more accurate.
The large size 50 ‘Avenir’ font makes the numbers easy to read.
How to use it
Pages 1 and 2 Print both sheet onto card (paper would be too flimsy for intended use) and follow the instructions included.
Page 1 - once Easter eggs have been cut out and assembled, shuffle and place on a table top for learners to match - make sure all eggs have the same colour facing up to begin. Learners then match each number bond pair e.g. ‘5’ with ‘0’.
If a learner is unsure which number e.g. ‘5’ should be matched with they can turn the number ‘5’ egg that they are holding to look for the answer displayed on the back of the egg. This encourages learners to be autonomous when working, enabling them to do this activity on their own.
Page 2 - once learners have matched the number bonds to 5 Easter eggs into pairs they place these onto the egg outline shapes. Learners then write the number bonds onto the egg outlines (on the horizontal line provided) and for each egg number written they colour/tick this number of tiny Easter egg outline shapes above for both eggs. This enables learners to check that each pair of Easter eggs (together) makes 5.
A ‘Number bonds to 5 checker’ is included at the base of the sheet to support learners in checking each number bond pair together makes 5. A blank space is included in the centre of each egg shape for the numerals 1 - 5 to be written if helpful for learners though blank should be fine for the purpose of counting.

What’s included?
This download includes x4 A4, portrait pdf sheets in black and white and colour.
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 has been designed to introduce learners to tallying - how to record tally marks carefully and correctly as well as providing an opportunity to both read and write their own tallies (on page 4). This resource has been created as an introduction to ‘tallying’ prior to working on a data handling activity. Recording accurate tally marks is a key part of data handling and an essential skill to record data correctly. It is important that learners are given an opportunity to practise tallying, ready to use the skill in a real-life activity situation.
Resource Details
The first x3 pages introduce tallying in a step-by-step way, showing learners what a ‘tally’ is, what it is used for and how to write tally marks correctly to record an accurate amount/score. The last, page 4, provides an opportunity for learners to read five tallies and write the total (up to 23) as well as record the correct number of tallies for five numbers (up to 24). Pages 1 to 3 have been designed for an adult to go through with a learner/group of learners in a step-by-step way.
Page 1
Learners are introduced to what ‘tallying’ and a ‘tally mark’ is and how tallies are written. Page one clearly shows how tallies one to four are written and how the fifth tally mark is written differently.
Page 2
Learners are introduced to ‘tallies’ being written as groups of five and introduces learners to how to write tally marks up to 10, providing an opportunity for learners to write their own tally marks to 10.
Page 3
Learners are introduced to how to write tally marks up to 20, providing an opportunity for learners to write their own tally marks to 10 again - this time beginning at a ‘starting dot’ for each tally and tracing over the grey lines to write the tally marks correctly.
Page 4
This has also been designed learners to practise reading and writing tally marks. Learners are to record the total number of tallies (writing the number) and record their own tally marks for each number provided.

Recommendations
If physical support materials are helpful to use as well small objects could be placed in each box such as small coloured matchsticks (if these are not deemed a choking hazard for little learner/s). Once the correct number of matchsticks/objects have been counted out into the boxes and the learner is content with ‘how many are needed to make 5’ the learner is to draw a line connecting the two numbers for each number bond which (together) make 5.

What’s included?
This download includes two sets of three A4, portrait pdf sheets ( a black and white AND colour version) to investigate which colour is each pupil’s favourite (designed for a class of 30 - up to 32 spaces available). Learners transfer the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart and answering questions about this.
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
There are x3 sheets in total for the B&W AND colour set. Page 1 is to be used in landscape orientation (to collect the data using the tally system). Pages 2 and 3 are both to be used in portrait orientation. Page 2 is designed to use the data collected on the tally chart (on page 1) to create a block graph to present this information. Page 3 asks questions related to the data collected and recorded on pages 1 and 2.
The ‘colour’ version has been designed to make the meaning even clearer to learners, especially when plotting the bar chart and recording the colour names in answers to the questions on page 3. Spellings for all colours are clearly displayed at the top (of page 3).
Page 1
Learners are to ask up to x32 people ‘What is your favourite colour?’ recording each response using the tally system. For learners who are new to/less familiar with 'how to tally’ - tallying is modelled on the right side of page 2.
To begin at the top of page 1 is a space to record ‘how many pupils’ are present (in class) that day to question. Once the data has been collected the number of tallies for each colour can be counted. The total of all colour groups can be added together to check if the same number of people identified as being present and available to ask ‘What is your favourite colour?’ matches the number of tally marks actually recorded. An important lesson in careful, accurate data collection.
There is a space for two additional colours to be written if needed (in the boxes on the right side of the tally chart).
Page 2
Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart presented on page 2. Learners colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes’ for the number of tallies recorded for each favourite colour. There is space on the bar chart for up to 32 people (for each colour group). There is also a space to record the data collected for up to two additional colours (on the right side of the bar chart) if needed.
Page 3
The questions on page 3 link to the information collected/recorded on pages 1 and 2. There is also an opportunity to practise both reading a tally and recording the correct number this shows and recording a number as a tally.

What’s included?
This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting objects, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Skittles 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.
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 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 x24 Skittles of one colour so the amount of Skittles given to learners can be any number to fit their ability, however no more than x24 of any one colour group if you intend for learners to use the bar chart (pages 3/5).
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. 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.

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).

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.
