What’s included? Two downloads of the same resource - one is the question/activity resource, the other the answers in the same layout for easy reference. x4 portrait, pdf sheets in total. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Page 1 The resource explores the pattern of counting in twos, on a number grid to 32 learners first circle the ‘twos numbers’. Learners are then presented with the two times table in order with boxes in which to write their answers. They can use their findings from the circles drawn on the grid above to complete this, however if this is too tricky initially learners can leave this section and proceed onto the next (last) section (which begins on page 1) - exploring ‘pairs’ of numbers, using ‘headphones’ as a clear visual guide. Page 2 continues to explore ‘pairs of twos numbers’ using the headphones throughout to make the question being asked clear to learners. There is a box for learners to write their answers in for each question. There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the upper right side of page 1 (vertically) and the lower left side of page 2 (horizontally).

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 pages, portrait orientation, pdf format. Two versions of the same word search are included - colour and black and white. 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. Pupils with EAL (English as an additional language) are supported by the images of the 3D shapes. What’s it for? This 2D shape wordsearch includes 2D shape names and related vocabulary with images of the shapes included (page 1). The answers (page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, including their direction and how many words there are to find. Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid. The 2D 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 (forwards not backwards) OR vertically (up as well as down). The direction of the hidden words is made clear at the top of page 1. Once learners have completed the wordsearch they could cross-check their answers independently - promoting autonomy. Words to find are: ellipse circle semi circle heart round triangle edges side square rectangle rhombus vertices pentagon hexagon star regular Extension The 2D shape images are hidden in this word search as well as the 2D shape names. For learners who would like an extra challenge, learners can find (and name) these 2D shapes - ticking the images off as they find them in the boxes below the word search (on page 1). Recommendations We 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 of the hidden words. If words are ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.

This download includes x2 resources as x3 portrait orientation sheets to practise ‘counting in 2’s’ using pairs of socks as a helpful visual guide. What’s it for? Two resources are included, both are to practise counting in 2’s (up to 48/96) and record these numbers in writing. Great for consolidating (and checking) learners knowledge of counting in 2’s. Both resources are the same layout and design. Resource One (one sheet) counts in 2’s up to 48. Resource Two counts in 2’s up to 96 (across two sheets). 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 is a clear space for each learner to write their name on the left of each page (vertically) and a space to record the number date (top right). Resource 1 ‘Counting in 2’s (up to 48)’ This resource is one page, 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 two pages, 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.

What’s included? This download includes x4 pdf pages featuring x20 butterflies (a black/white and a rainbow (coloured) version, both in portrait orientation. What’s it for? This resource can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 20. The easy to read font size and predictable layout clearly models the process of doubling numbers to 20 to learners. 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 This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten butterflies. Each butterfly’s left wing shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order up to 20. Learners can complete the other half of each double by drawing the same number of ‘dots’ e.g. with a felt tip pen onto the space on the right wing. The total number of dots can then be written on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’ The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 20. There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).

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 x3 A4 pdf sheets in portrait and landscape orientation. The same resource is provided in three sizes - large (for an adult to use at the front of a class/group), medium (x2 per A4 sheet) and small (x4 per A4 sheet). 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? These counters have been designed for learners to use to count to 5 along with the ‘Five Little Ducks’ song. These resources have been designed to used during a group/class singing session although learners may enjoy singing this on their own/with parent/carers if they were able to take this home. This resource could be ideal for smaller groups, giving learners something to hold and ‘do’ to be involved while singing along to this well-known and familiar song. Learners count the number of ducks during the song and fold each duck down one at a time as the song goes along. How to use this resource These ducks have been designed to be printed onto card enabling the ducks to fold down/up (once assembled) as the song is sung. Simple, clear, step-by-step instructions are included on each resource. Important message… Any issues with this resource please 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 resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 lowercase letters of the alphabet. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students who would benefit from investigating the concept of ‘symmetry’. How to use it? The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by cutting out one letter at a time. Learners can either use a safety mirror and/or fold these squares to investigate where the lines of symmetry are. It is best if learners only ‘cut’ once they are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry - a (safety!) mirror would definitely be helpful as a back up to check especially if letters have already been cut up! Resource Details… Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Page 1. At the top are ‘larger’ lowercase letters, each within a dotted box - these dots guide where to cut. Learners can cut out one of these larger letters at a time (to avoid having lots of letters in front of them at once and risk losing some). Along the length of base of the sheet is a set of smaller lowercase letters designed to be cut with two simple snips (vertically up to the red line and then horizontally) to separate these from the sheet one at a time. These are designed to be used to record findings (answers) - on page 2. The larger lowercase letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated. Page 2. Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller lowercase letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical. If learners are unsure there is a space on the left for this also - they can stick letters there and come back to these later, perhaps with support/a mirror to check. Page 3 Clearly shows which lowercase letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation. Page 4 Also clearly shows which lowercase letters are/are not symmetrical, but in more detail - including where the actual lines of symmetry are. For learners who might find the concept of symmetry difficult they can use page 4 (instead of page 1) and use the lines of symmetry included here to explore for themselves where to fold to investigate ‘symmetry’ with support.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This pdf download includes x7 sets of counting in 10’s (circle) cards - x6 colours plus grey. Each sheet includes numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 and one ‘blank’ card in same style (for ‘zero’ or to replaced ‘lost’ card/s). Colours (and order) of the ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ 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. Who’s 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. What’s it for? The circles can be cut out and used to practise/check ‘counting in 10’s’ to 100 using the image of 'ten fingers’ (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 10’s 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 ‘own’ colour the card is kept, if it is not that player’s 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 ‘treasure hunt’ 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 ‘card’ (instead of paper) OR print onto paper, back onto card and laminate to keep for longer.

For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 capital letters of the alphabet! Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students who would benefit from investigating the concept of ‘symmetry’ and ‘symmetrical’ or students needing additional learning support. How to use it? The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by first cutting around each capital letter to investigate one letter at a time. It is best to begin by folding letters and cutting once learners are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry. A (safety!) mirror could be helpful as a back up to check (especially if letters have already been cut up). Resource Details… Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Page 1 At the top are ‘larger’ capital letters, each within a dotted box - these dots guide where to cut. Learners can cut out one of these larger letters at a time (to avoid having lots of letters in front of them at once and risk losing some). Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Along the length of base side of the sheet is a set of smaller capital letters designed to be cut with two simple snips (vertically up to the red line and then horizontally) to separate these from the sheet one at a time. These are designed to be used to record findings (answers) - on page 2. The larger capital letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated. Page 2 Learners will need a pencil to their write their name at the base of page 2 and access to a glue stick to continue their investigation using page 2. Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller capital letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical. Page 3 Clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation. Page 4 Clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, but in more detail - including where the actual lines of symmetry are.

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 resources split across x3 portrait orientation, pdf pages. These resources have been designed to use together. What’s it for? This resource is a carrot themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 10. Learners match pairs of carrots which together make 10 (resource 1). Resource 2 (split across two pages) provides a space to record the number bond pairs once matched. 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. Resource 1 - 'Carrot number bonds to 10’ This is one sheet of ‘carrot cards’ which need to be prepared prior to use - see details below. Print this page onto card. Resource 2 - 'Carrot number bonds to 10 record sheet’ This is two sheets to record the matched number bonds to 10 on. Print page 2 onto card, page 1 is fine as paper. Resource 1 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. How to use 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. ‘10’ with ‘0’. If a learner is unsure which number e.g. ‘9’ 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 ‘1’) 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 numbers 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 ‘Number bonds to 10 checker’ 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.

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 2’s’ from 0 to 50 (and back) using rainbow and two coloured circles/square shaped ‘beads’. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise ‘counting in 2’s 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, following the counting in 2’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 2’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 2’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 (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 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. Who’s 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 ‘tick off’ shapes (once ‘rolled’) OR game counters (included) - to place on top of each shape once ‘rolled’ can be cut out and used. One die is recommended (to ‘share’) to promote turn-taking. Clear game instructions are included on page 1 which players could be encouraged to read themselves before playing the game. What’s needed? One die to share or one dice each and a pencil each/game ‘counters’ - cut up (included). Resource layout The instruction text is size 14 ‘Avenir’ 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 ‘felt’ 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!

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 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!

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.

For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s 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. 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 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 ‘answers’ (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. Important… Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line ‘through’ 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 ‘answers 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 ‘cutting out guidelines’ 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.

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.
