Whatâs included?
This download includes x2 A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise âordering numbers to 10â.
Whatâs it for?
This resource has been designed for learners to practise ordering numbers to 10. Learners either order the numbered eggs from 0 - 10 (and back!) âflatâ on a table top/carpet, or using the âgrass holdersâ learners can position the eggs to âstand upâ, perhaps once they have completed the activity and ordered the numbers.
This activity has been designed for learners to explore independently, to explore and reinforce both recognising numerals to 10 and ordering numbers to 10 (and back!)
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.
How to use this resource
These sheets are intended to be printed onto card to improve durability, instructions are included on each resource. This was designed for an adult to pre-cut all items so that this resource can be presented to learners as an activity to investigate and explore. An adult cuts along dotted lines following these instructions to provide learners with x11 ânumbered eggsâ (page 1) and x10 âgrass egg holdersâ (page 2)
Resource Details
Page 1 includes x11 numbered eggs (0-10) dotted lines, guide where to cut.
Page 2 includes x10 âgrass numbered egg holdersâ for learners (or adults) to display the ânumbered eggsâ in. Rather than having numbered eggs laid flat on the table top, using these holders enable the numbered eggs to âstand upâ, helping the resource to catch your learners interest and engage them. Simple instructions for how to assemble these holders are included at the top of page 2.

Whatâs it for?
This daffodils activity has been designed for learners to practise counting objects (daffodils) and ordering numbers from 0 to 10.
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.
How to use this resource
This resource is intended to be printed onto card to improve durability for an adult to prepare and present to learners as a âtable topâ activity to explore independently.
Learners count the number of daffodil images on each circle card and match these to the corresponding numeral card. Learners can also use these cards to order numbers forwards (0 -10) and back (10 - 0), identifying one more/one less and for simple addition/subtraction sums. Cards from 0 - 10 are included with a few spares incase any get lost/damaged.

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.
Whatâs it for?
This resource introduces learners to the concept of what âhalfâ 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 âhalfâ and where the number of pieces of fruit on the plates is not the same - these numbers can not be split in half.
Whoâs 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 âplateâ 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 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.

Whatâs included?
This download includes two resources as x4 portrait orientation pdf sheets to practise counting in twos - to count different groups of objects.
Whatâs it for?
This resource has been designed for learners to use/practise their knowledge of counting in 2âs (up to 20/40) to count groups of objects more quickly.
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
Page 1 includes x5 groups of different objects to find the total number of by counting in twos. There is a 2âs number track at the top of page 1 to support learners if needed, this could be covered if learners are able to complete the activity without. On the right side of each row is a clear box in which to write the total number for each group of objects.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the lower left side of page 1 and the number date at the top (right side).
Page 2 is the answer sheet in the same design which learners could use to check their answers independently, encouraging autonomy.

This download includes x2 pages, portrait orientation, x1 page, portrait orientation, all in pdf format. x3 sheets in total
What is it?
This is a simple game for two players to reinforce 2D shape names and the number of sides each shape has.
Whoâs it for?
This 2D shape name game has been designed for early years and pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support.
How to use it?
The game includes two boards on page 2 (one for each player) with a space for each player to write their names on the line above. All that is needed is a die (dice) and a pencil/pen (per player) to âtick offâ shapes (once ârolledâ) OR game counters (included) - to place on top of each shape once ârolledâ can be cut out and used. One die is recommended (to âshareâ) to promote turn-taking.
Clear game instructions are included on page 1 which players could be encouraged to read themselves before playing the game.
Whatâs needed?
One die to share or one dice each and a pencil each/game âcountersâ - cut up (included).
Resource layout
The instruction text is size 14 âAvenirâ font. Instructions are included on page 1, the game itself (x2 game boards) are included on page 2.
Recommendations
For younger players having a set of these 2D shapes out while playing this game (to look at, hold and count the sides of) would benefit learners.
This PDF has been designed to print and write-on. It could be laminated and a dry-wipe pen used to enable reuse and improve durability.
Chunky sized dice are much easier for younger learners to use. Foam dice are great as they are really quiet!
A shallow box, e.g. half of an empty cereal box laid flat on its back with front removed (ideally lined with a piece âfeltâ fabric to absorb sound) to roll the die into could be used to avoid dice rolling away (e.g. off a table top). This should avoid any momentum of the game being interrupted while searching for lost dice!

Whatâs included?
This download includes x2 landscape orientation pdfs to investigate odd and even numbers up to 100.
Whatâs 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.
Whoâs 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 âoddâ and âevenâ means and if they donât 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 âWhat do you notice?â - 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).
Whatâs 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 âcircleâ each number (rather than âcolouring them inâ) 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 âcolouring them inâ) would be the most effective use of time for this activity.
Page 2
Learners will need: - a pencil - scissors - a glue stick

Whatâs included?
This download includes x7 sheets in landscape orientation to investigate which numbers are odd and even from 1 to 10.
Whatâs it for?
This resource systematically introduces learners to what âoddâ and âevenâ numbers are through a practical investigation of numbers from 1 to 20.
This resource could precede the âodd/even numbers investigationsâ to 20/ 100 - both of these resources are also available.
Whoâs 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 âoddâ and âevenâ 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 âsharing spotsâ, 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 âdifferentâ or âthe sameâ 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 âoddâ (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 âsharing spotsâ if you have these and if easier. Using âsticky dotsâ instead would save learners needing to cut out and stick down the âsharing spotsâ provided which may help make this activity simpler.

Whatâs included?
This pdf download includes x7 sets of counting in 10âs (circle) cards - x6 colours plus grey. Each sheet includes numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 and one âblankâ card in same style (for âzeroâ or to replaced âlostâ card/s).
Colours (and order) of the âCounting in 10âs cardsâ are red (page 1), yellow (page 2), green (page 3), blue (page 4), purple (page 5) pink (page 6) and grey (page 7). All sheets are portrait orientation.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception.
Whatâs it for?
The circles can be cut out and used to practise/check âcounting in 10âsâ to 100 using the image of 'ten fingersâ (on hands!) as a clear visual guide. These have been designed to be simple and ideal to use in various ways to practise and reinforce counting in 10âs to 100. Suggestions include:
Game
Each learner needs one set of coloured cards each. To play game circle cards can be sorted into colours and shuffled. Cards to be placed face-down in a grid (in random order). Players take turns to turn over one card at a time. If a player reveals their âownâ colour the card is kept, if it is not that playerâs colour the card is returned to where it was taken from in the grid. The winner is the first player to collect all x10 cards (in their colour set) and position these cards in the correct order from 10 to 100.
Treasure hunt
These cards could be used for a coloured âtreasure huntâ where one set of cards are hidden within a specified area for learners to find, then order (once all colours in set have been found).
Various other games could be invented using these cards.
Circle sheets are best printed on card (or printed on paper and backed onto card) to ensure the images/numbers are not visible through the paper when reversed during game.
Recommendations
This PDF has been designed to print, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Print off as many sets as needed. Quality/durability will be best when printed onto âcardâ (instead of paper) OR print onto paper, back onto card and laminate to keep for longer.

Page 1
This page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can write the correct 10âs number. There is a reference above (showing all 10âs numbers in order to 100) - to support less able learners/learners ânewâ to âcounting in 10âsâ. The numbers 10, 50 and 100 have already been typed in the boxes, leaving x7 number gaps for the learner to complete. With three completed numbers and a reference guide clearly displayed above this is the least challenging activity sheet of the pair.
Page 2
This page is the same design (x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can write the correct 10âs number).

Whatâs it for?
This resource includes x3 pages, each featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting up to 100 in 10âs. This is a cut and stick activity. A âwriting numbersâ 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.
Whoâs 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 âcut and stickâ activity for learners who may find âwritingâ 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 âdotsâ are included to guide learners where to cut âoutâ (rather than cut âupâ !) 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 10âs number. The numbers â30â and â100â 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 10âs number. This blank version can be printed and the adult can write some more of the 10âs 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 âcut outâ (at the base of the sheet) are intentionally âmixed upâ.
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.

This resource can be used in various ways.
The cards could be placed as a pack in a learners/adults hands to be shown one at a time, placed on a table top, for example if working with an individual/group. Learners predict (say) what the next number will be before each card is shown.
The cards could be shuffled and ordered, laid out in a line/as a set from 2 to 30 (and back).
Two sets could be printed and used for a pair of learners/an adult with a learner to play âpairsâ - the winner is the first to collect a full set (ordered correctly!)

Resource Details
*Counting in 2âs Rabbit Cards
Page 1 includes x15 cards each featuring one rabbit (with two ears!) and a âtwoâs numberâ underneath. Cards on page one are from 2 - 30. Page 2 includes an additional 24 and 28 card - to be used to play the âCarrot gameâ. These Counting in 2âs Rabbit Cards can also be used on their own to practise ordering numbers (counting in twos).
Carrot Game Boards (Counting in 2âs)
For four players though one learner could use these on their own to practise matching and counting in 2âs (also using the âCounting in 2âs Rabbit Cardsâ)
Carrot Game - Instructions
Needed to play gameâŠ
One board (A-D) per player (x4 boards in total)
One set of âCounting in 2âs Rabbit Cardsâ (AND one extra â24â card)
To prepare - cut up, shuffle and place 'Counting in 2âs Rabbit Cardsâ face down in a grid.
How to playâŠ
Players take turns to select one card from the grid. If selected card fits into either the âupperâ or âlowerâ sequence (above/below âgrassâ 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 playerâs board the card is returned and it is the next players turn. WINNER matches all (x4) 2âs cards correctly first! Game and card instructions are included at the top of each âCarrot game boardâ and âCounting in 2âs Rabbit cardsâ resource to cut out and keep.

Whatâs included?
This download includes x1 sheet in portrait orientation to practise counting and matching tens and ones/units images with numeral labels for numbers up to 32.
Whatâs it for?
This resource is to practise counting tens and ones images (to 32) and match these with the correct number label by writing OR cutting and sticking.
Whoâs 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 give learners the opportunity to count tens and ones images (to 32) and match these with the correct numeral label by cutting and sticking (ten numbers) and writing the numerals for two - the last images on the left/right.
Resource layout
Learners write their name at the side (right), then cut out ten numeral labels at the base of the sheet (following along dotted lines) and label the images correctly - according to how many tens/ones are featured. The last two labels need to be written - a pencil indicates which two boxes to write in. Pale grey boxes indicate where to âstickâ the numeral label answers.

Whatâs included?
This download includes x8 sheets - x7 in landscape orientation and x1 in portrait orientation to practise counting out tens and ones to match numerals up to 69.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Whatâs it for?
Learners count out tens and ones (by cutting out tens/ones images) to match numerals from 2 up to 69.
Resource layout
Learners write their name at the base of each sheet. Each learner should also be given one tens/ones sheet to cut out what they need. The more sheets learners complete the more tens/ones they will need so spares of this sheet will be need to be available - close to hand. Learners look at the numeral in each box and count out (cut) the correct number of ones and tens to position (stick) in the box.
Each sheet is numbered (1 - 7) the more sheets learners complete the larger the numerals on each sheet become.
Page 2 has been left blank for you two write in the numbers you wish to target instead.
Target numbers you choose
Page 2 has blank boxes for an adult to write numerals they would like to target for learners to practise. The size of the boxes on page 2 are quite small and suitable for âonesâ numbers (smaller than 10) - a âten stickâ may fit here if placed horizontally but only with up to x7 ones.
The numbers on sheet 7 could be covered up if adults wish learners to target specific numbers with tens and ones as there is more space in these boxes. I think x7 ten sticks is the limit for the two boxes on page 7 size-wise.

Whatâs 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.
Whoâs 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 âonesâ and how ten ones can be positioned on a row or column to become a âtenâ. Why we do this is made clear. Learners are introduced to the vocabulary âonesâ, âten/ten stick/tens stick/tens/tens sticksâ, ârowâ, âcolumnâ, âverticalâ and 'horizontalâ.
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 âtens sticksâ and âonesâ and how these are counted and written as numbers.
Page 3. Identifies how a large group of âonesâ can become confusing and tricky to count. Page 3 models how to count these ones - counting ten at a time and how these âgroups of tenâ become âtensâ while the remaining âonesâ stay as âonesâ. How this is written as a number is also clearly shown. Learners are introduced to the vocabulary âswapping/exchangingâ, âleft overâ and âgroupâ.
Page 4. Shows learners how they can draw their own âstick of tenâ and âonesâ and provides an opportunity for learners to practise grouping ten 'onesâ as âtensâ and writing this as a number.
Page 5. Looks at what each digit in a number represents, e.g. in the number â36â the â3â is the number of tens and the â6â is for the âonesâ. This is also modelled visually and learners are given the opportunity to practise writing the numbers â27â and â45â as âtensâ and âonesâ as well as drawing these numbers as âtens sticksâ and âonesâ squares.
Page 6. Looks at numbers with no âtensâ (numbers 1 to 9). Learners are given the opportunity to count and write two numbers without a âtenâ - 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 âmore than one tenâ in them - from 20 to 99. âHundredsâ are not mentioned in this resource.
