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.

What’s included?
This download includes two A4, portrait pdf sheets to make number fans featuring numerals from 0 to 10. Rainbow Version. Each number is a different colour - in rainbow colour order.
What’s it for?
This number fan can be used in various ways, including to play games. 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 also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors.
The rainbow colours may help some learners not yet confident with number recognition, who know colours. E.g. if you ask, ‘Can you show me number 3?’ - this could be followed by ‘Can you show me number 3, the orange number?
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.
I recommend that each number is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf.

x2 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to make what a millilitre is visually clear to learners and to give learners an opportunity to count and identify a small amount of millilitres (up to 42).
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.
How to use it?
Page 1
The first page is an ‘information sheet’ - introducing learners to what a ‘millilitre is, that ml is short for millilitre and what millilitres are used/useful for. One thousand squares have been used to visually demonstrate what one thousand ml would look like and so just how small one millilitre is. This may be useful to make the concept of one (or more) millilitres visually clear to learners.
Page 2
The second page also shows one litre/one thousand millilitres visually - as 1000 blue squares and provides learners with the opportunity to count a limited number of ml and write what amount this would be (if water) as ml.
When completing the second page of this resource learners may need it to be made clear to them that each number of millilitres (orange, yellow, green and blue questions) is always part of the 1000 blue squares pictured on the whole sheet and not just the 100 blue squares that the orange/yellow/green/blue squares are illustrated as part of…
Visual representation
It is important to note that these squares are illustrations of millilitres shown to visually represent water and of course are not exact or equal to actual millilitres. Therefore illustrations in this resource are not to scale.

x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format.
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 be suitable for children in the EYFS.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to give learners an opportunity to practise measuring the length of simple shapes using cm (up to 25cm).
How to use it?
The first page is an ‘information sheet’ - introducing learners to what a ‘centimetre’ is and what it is used for in images and words. Pages 2 to 4 (numbered 1-3) provide practical opportunity for learners to use the images of the rulers provided to carefully measure the length of each object (image) featured. Page number 1 focuses on ‘stationery’, page number 2 on ‘kitchen items’ and page number 3 on ‘tools’. Page 3 uses the vocabulary ‘longer’ and ‘shorter’ and looks at the difference (in cm) between the longest and shortest tool - which may be a new concept for some learners and so may require some support.
Suggestion
I would encourage learners to draw a vertical line from the end of each object to the number on the ruler above (using a pencil and ruler!) to be sure of what the total length for each item is.
Important…
This resource has been designed to provide learners with an opportunity to practice measuring using the images of rulers marked with cm. These rulers are illustrations of rulers and not exact centimetres. It is printed on each sheet that the ‘illustrations in this resource are not to scale’.

x5 pages, landscape orientation, pdf format.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to investigate the concept of ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ and explore vocabulary linked to this concept. The images included (as they are presented) don’t necessarily reflect whether (in the real world) the item is bigger/smaller than another. For example the yellow teacup (page 5) appears ‘bigger’ than the tree (also page 5) whereas in ‘real life’ this is not the case. Learners need to make well thought through choices when selecting pairs of images which are bigger/smaller than each other and be able to explain their reasoning!
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years aged children.
Resource Details
Page 1
Using page 1 through an adult led discussion learners could explore what the concept ‘big ‘ and ‘small’ means.
There are x10 pairs of images featured on page 1 which are big/small when compared in the ‘real world’. Learners could first identify which is the big/small item in each pair.
There are x10 pairs of images, which are big/small (when compared in the ‘real world’). Learners could first identify which is the big/small item in each pair.
is a visual reference sheet which could be used for display purposes but has been designed to be used as a point of discussion about what ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ means
could also be used as a ‘front cover’ to create an ‘activity booklet’ if attached to pages 2, 3 and 6 (once complete) with each learners name clearly displayed on the front of the page (in the space provided)
also works as an ‘answer sheet’ as images featured in the activity are displayed here in pairs for learners to check with
Answers
These are a guide for one way the items could be paired when thinking about these items in the ‘real world’.
BIG/small
world/rocket
tower block/person
elephant/mouse
mountain/mountaineer
tree/bird
factory/house (bungalow)
plate/pea
sheet of A4 paper/push pin
flower/bee
table/teacup
Pages 2 and 3
learners use these pages to record x3 - x6 sets of pairs that are BIG/small when compared with each other in the real world.
learners position BIG items on the right and small items on the left.
Pages 4 and 5
learners pair up the images provided making sure they have clear reasons for pairing the images as they do
learners should be encouraged to think about the size of the items in the ‘real world’ and not the size of the image as pictured on these sheets.
Page 6
provides an opportunity for learners to draw and label their own (real world) BIG and small images

One A4 pdf in landscape orientation
What’s it for?
To practise counting in 5’s from 0 to 100.
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
The resource explores counting in 5’s from 5 to 100 using star fish (which have x5 points) as a clear visual guide. Learners who are ‘new’ to counting in fives can count the ‘points’ of the stars each time which should help support them, making a great introduction to counting in 5’s.

What’s included?
This download includes x4 A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘counting in 5’s’ from 0 to 100 (and back) using ‘rainbow’ and ‘two-coloured’ circle/square shaped ‘beads’.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to practise ‘counting in 5’s to 100’ (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 5’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 5’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 5’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 (orange and purple) provide more challenge. This is due to there being lots of numbers in both orange and purple, 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 (orange and purple) provide ‘some’ support.
Resource Details
The layout includes x6 rows and x9 columns of circular/square shaped beads numbered from 0 - 100. Beads are arranged in ‘rainbow’/‘two-colour’ 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.
Square beads or round beads?
The square beads are much easier and quicker to prepare, requiring only straight cuts to separate them, saving time.
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 5’s’ number line reference.

This download includes x2 A4 pages, landscape orientation, pdf format.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed for learners to consolidate their understanding of number bonds to 5, ideal for a quick recap and to check knowledge.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as older students needing additional support with learning.
Resource Details
This resource has been designed to be a quick match activity - drawing a simple line to connect the pairs of number bonds.
Completing the activity relies on learners having some knowledge to match the pairs as counting objects (to check which pairs total five) are not provided in the lower part of this resource.
Page 1
In the upper section learners are to match the number bonds by drawing a line connecting each pair of numbers which make 5. Learners should use the dots provided to begin and end the connecting line between the number bond pairs. These dots can be found as ‘door handle dots’ (on the door of each house) and ‘black dots’ on each ‘moving van’ (positioned above the number).
Learners are supported when completing the upper section of this resource as ‘moving boxes’ are provided which learners can count to check.
In the lower section learners draw a line to match the number on the taxi with the number on the taxi rank sign which (together) make a total of five.
Learners are not supported when completing the lower section of this resource as counting objects (to check which pairs total five) are not provided.
Completing this section relies on learners having knowledge to match the pairs. However, for learners who need this support - objects (e.g. x5 miniature cars/small cubes) could be available.
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.
Resource details
This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Lines can be drawn on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated). Learners could use a ruler to assist with accurate matching.

What’s included?
This download includes x2 A4 pages (landscape orientation) pdf format.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed for learners to consolidate their understanding of number bonds to 5, ideal for a quick recap and to check knowledge.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as older students needing additional support with learning.
Resource Details
This resource has been designed to be a quick match activity - drawing a simple line to connect the pairs of number bonds. The number bonds in this resource have been arranged ‘in order’.
Completing this activity relies on learners having the knowledge to match the pairs as counting objects (to check which total five) are not provided in this resource. For learners who need this - objects (mini campers vans and cars?!) could be provided.
Page 1
In the upper section learners match the numbers on the camper vans by drawing a line connecting each pair of numbers which (together) make 5.
In the lower section learners draw a line to match the car numbers, which (together) make a total of five.

What’s it for?
This resource has been designed for learners to consolidate their understanding of number bonds to 10, ideal for a quick recap and to check knowledge. Support is provided as items (letters to post and the lit up storeys of each tower block building) are displayed to count and check - that each time the total of each pair is 10.

This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as older students needing additional support with learning.
Resource Details
This resource has been designed to be a ‘quick match’ activity - drawing a simple line to connect the pairs of numbers which (together) make 10.
Page 1
In the upper section there is a row of ten tower blocks, each with a (numbered) main door. The number on the main door matches the number of storeys in each tower block that are lit up. In the middle and lower section are two rows of five postal vans, each with letters (to post). The number on each post van is the same as the number of letters. Learners are to match the number on each postal van with the number of a tower block by drawing a line to connect each pair of numbers which make 10.
Learners are supported by the visual supports provided - the lit up number of storeys of each tower block (labelled by the numbered main door of each building) and the number of letters to post, labelled with the number displayed on each postal van. Learners can count these items to check which total (together) make 10.
There is a space at the base of page 1 (left) for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).
Suggestion
Learners could use a ruler to assist with accurate matching.
Although this PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Lines can be then drawn on the sheet (and wiped off) if laminated.

In the middle and lower section are two rows of five postal vans, each with a number of letters to post. Learners are to count the number of letters and write the total in the boxes provided. Learners then match this number with the number of a tower block by drawing a line to connect each pair of numbers which make 10.
Learners are supported by the visual supports provided - the lit up number of storeys of each tower block (labelled by the numbered main door of each building) and the number of letters to post (counted and labelled). By counting the total number of items in each pair (the letters to post and lit up number of storeys in each tower block) learners can be sure they have correctly linked a number bond match of two items which together total 10.

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.
