Resource Details These resources have been designed to be ‘quick match’ activities - drawing a simple line to connect the pairs of numbers which (together) make 10. Completing this activities relies on learners having some knowledge (of number bonds to ten) to be able to match the number pairs as objects to count (to check which pairs total ten) are not always provided. Where counting support is not provided for those learners who need it - suitable objects (up to 10) could be provided. 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.

Repeating Pattern - 2D Shapes and colour Threading

Repeating Pattern - 2D Shapes and colour Threading

(0)
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 x1 A4, landscape pdf sheet, with ‘square’ shaped (paper/card) 2D shape beads. What’s it for? This resource has been designed for learners to become more familiar with 2D shapes and creating a repeating pattern. Learners will first need to consider which 2D shapes (and colours) to focus on and as the pattern develops think about which 2D shape/colour comes next. Whilst learners work on this activity they will also improve and develop their fine motor skills. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The layout includes x6 rows and x9 columns of square shaped beads each with a different coloured 2D shape. Beads are arranged in rainbow order to help guide and motivate learners in finding the next shape (and colour) in the pattern. This is an ideal activity to keep learners busy and independent. 2D shapes included are semi circles (pink), circles, (red), triangles (orange), diamonds (yellow), squares (green), rectangles (turquoise), stars (blue), pentagons (purple), hexagons (maroon). There are x6 beads of each shape. Dotted guide line showing where to cut and punch a hole are included. The hole to punch is 4mm in size though a smaller hole punch could be used (to increase the fine motor skills challenge!) These 2D shape beads will ‘hang’ from one corner once threaded - as the cover image demonstrates. Learners will need a piece of string/ribbon/pipecleaner to thread their paper/card beads onto. Differentiation For more able learners let them decide which 2D shapes and colours to choose to create a repeating pattern of up to x9 2D shapes/colours. For those who are new to creating repeating patterns/find this tricky we recommend limiting the 2D shapes/colours learners are given, starting with just two and creating an alternate pattern initially. Once learners have been successful with two shapes/colours they can introduce additional shapes/colours to extend them. Suggestions We recommendation that these beads are printed onto card to improve their durability. The square bead design makes the beads easy to prepare, requiring only straight cuts to separate them. We recommend cutting each row into strips of x9 2D shapes, punching holes along each strip then separating each 2D shape by cutting along the dotted lines. This is the most efficient way we have found! Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we are happy to make changes.

This download includes two resources split across three 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 a ‘ten green bottles’ themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 10. Each green bottle (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 bottles 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 bottle pair) to make folding quicker, easier and more accurate. The large size 40 ‘Avenir’ font makes numbers easy to read. How to use it Print the bottle cards resource and page 2 of the ‘record sheet’ resource onto card (paper would be too flimsy for intended use) and follow the instructions included. Resource 1 - once the green bottles have been cut out and assembled place on a table top and shuffle, ready for learners to match. Learners then 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 bottle that they are holding over to look for the answer displayed on the back of the bottle (e.g. revealing ‘1’) Encouraging learners to be autonomous . Resource 2 - once learners have matched the number bonds to 10 bottle into pairs they place these onto the bottle outline shapes. Learners then write the number bonds on the horizontal line provided and for each bottle number written they colour/tick this number of tiny bottles outline shapes above for both bottles. This enables learners to check that each pair 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 bottle shape for the numerals 1 - 10 to be written if helpful for learners though blank should be fine for the purpose of counting. Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you.

Tally marks and tallying, an Introduction (Data Handling)

(0)
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, portrait pdf sheets in black and white and colour. 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. 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 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.

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 subtraction sums - encouraging autonomy.

Top tip When working on subtraction sums especially if learners are making their own sums - always encourage them to put the larger of the two numbers first to then ‘take away’ the ‘smaller’ amount from this to find the total. Learners will need to move the total amount (of objects) counted into the first box (on the left) to the box in the centre to then ‘subtract’ the amount from there. Learners can draw the total number of objects left in the last box (on the right). There is a line underneath each box on which to write the numbers.
