What’s included?
This download includes two A4, portrait pdf sheets to make number fans featuring numerals from 0 to 10. Black and white version.

What’s it for?
These number fans can be used in a variety of ways to practise and reinforce learners recognition of numbers to 10. Learners can have their own number fan to reference while doing number work should they need help in writing numerals. The numbers on the fan can be taken off the ‘ring’ and used to order forwards/backwards or ‘label’ larger groups of objects which have been sorted and counted. They can be used to ‘show’ the answer to maths questions, rather than speaking.

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
Number fans can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. Number fans can be used as a personal reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. Number fans can be used to involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, both inside the classroom and outdoors. Number fans can also be used to play a variety of games, especially when made more accessible by being attached to an easy to open/close rainbow keyring - as pictured (and recommended!).

Suggestion
Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) could be ideal where you wish learners to access the contents of the ring e.g. to order the numbers. Alternatively a short loop of wool/string could be tied/untied to achieve the same effect. A standard metal keyring works well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the ring.

Laminating this resource is recommended.
