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. 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. Important message… ANY issues with this number fan please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback of this number fan resource would be great - thank you!

What’s included? x2 sheets, portrait 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. 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). How to use it? 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 how small just one millilitre is. This may be useful to make the concept of one (or more) millilitres visually clear to learners. 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. Suggestion 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… Important… These squares are illustrations of millilitres shown to visually represent water and of course are not exact or equal to actual millilitres. Illustrations in this resource are not to scale. Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? 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’.

What’s included? x5 pages, landscape orientation in colour to investigate the concepts ‘BIG’ and ‘small’. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years aged children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Page 1 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… As a teacher/adult led discussion learners could explore what the concepts ‘big ‘ and ‘small’ mean. There are x9 pairs of images displayed on page 1, each showing items that are (when compared to each other in the ‘real world’) ‘big’ or ‘small’. Learners could first work together to identify what the big and small item is in each pair. Once the big/small item in each pair has been identified learners could go on to consider mixing up the items in the pictured pairs - e.g. if the ‘elephant’ was compared with the ‘world’ instead of the ‘mouse’ which would be big and which would be small? The images on pages 2 and 3 could be used as a matching activity for learners to think about and explore this further. Pages 2 and 3 are for learners to use to record three sets of pairs of items that are (when compared with each other in the real world) BIG or small. The BIG item in each pair is the be positioned on the right and the small item in each pair is to be positioned on the left. There are three spaces (for three pairs) on page 2 and page 3, learners could complete two pages (2 and 3!) Pages 4 and 5 display the images from page 1 ready to be cut up (dotted lines guide where to cut) and placed in pairs on pages 2 and 3 (or page 6). Learners could pair up the images as featured on page 1 (see this list of big/small pairs above) OR learners could pair the images differently. However the learners pair up the images the idea is to pair one BIG and one small item when thinking about the size of these items in the ‘real world’ and not the size of the image as pictured on these sheets. This may confuse some learners and they will really need to think about these items/images carefully where pairing a big and small image together before securing them with glue on pages 2/3/6. Page 6 provides an opportunity for learners to draw and label their own (real world) BIG and small images.

What’s included? This download includes two A4 pages (landscape orientation) with x10 number bonds to 5 sums (in order) in pdf format. The answers (page 2) are in the same layout for easy comparison. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise knowledge of number bonds to 5. The number bonds have been arranged in order and the vans ARE numbered making this version more supported than my other very similar (more challenging) resource available in my TES shop. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as perhaps some children in year two or students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Page 1 In the upper section the learner is to match the number on each house window with the number on the 'moving house’ van - drawing a line (from the ‘door handle’ dots on the house to the black dot on each moving van above the number) to connect each number bond pair which makes 5. In the lower section the learner is to match the number on the taxi with the number on the taxi rank sign which - together - make a total of five. Page 2 Shows all number bonds matched (the answers) clearly 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) using a ruler to show accurate matching. The numbers are size 16 ‘Avenir’ font, the headings are ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font, size 20. Recommendations If physical support materials are helpful to use as well small objects could be placed in each box such as small coloured matchsticks (if these are not deemed a choking hazard for little learner/s). Once the correct number of matchsticks/objects have been counted out into the boxes and the learner is content with ‘how many are needed to make 5’ the learner is to draw a line connecting the two numbers for each number bond which (together) make 5.

What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. 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’. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 lowercase letters of the alphabet! 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.

What’s included? This download includes two A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘ordering numbers to 10’. These sheets are intended to be printed onto card to improve durability (and usability!) How to use this resource One sheet features x11 ‘numbered eggs’. I have included an ‘egg holder’ (with grass pictured on each base) which are intended to ‘hold’ each numbered egg. This was designed for an adult to pre-cut all items so that this resource can be presented to learners as a crisp, fresh new activity to investigate and explore. 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. This has been designed to be a ‘table top’ activity for learners to explore independently. Resource Details Page 1 includes x11 numbered eggs (0-10) with dotted lines around the outside of each to guide cutting. There are two boxes at the top which can both be cut out and displayed with the activity to guide learners and support adults with what the activity is for and question the learners to keep them on task. Page 2 includes x10 ‘grass numbered egg holders’ for learners (or adults) to display the ‘numbered eggs’ in (rather than having numbered eggs laid flat on the table top, using these holders enable the numbered eggs to ‘stand up’. Simple instructions for how to assemble these holders are included at the top of page 4.

What’s included? This download includes four A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise ‘counting objects and ordering numbers from 0 to 10’. This activity has been designed featuring daffodils’. These sheets are intended to be printed onto card to improve durability (and usability!) How to use this resource This has been designed to be a ‘table top’ activity for learners to explore independently.

What’s included? This download includes one resource - two pages featuring x12 ‘half’ problems (using fruit/veg) to complete - each of the x12 questions involves sharing the total amount (from 1 to 12) into two equal groups - ‘halves’. 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 ‘half’ is. Resource layout Learners draw a line from each fruit/veg to each ‘plate’ pictured below to systematically share out the total number of items (fruit/veg) each time until all have been shared (or not!) Learners may find it helpful to say to themselves “One for you and one for me” as each item is being distributed to each plate either physically or as the line is being drawn linking the fruit/veg to each plate, every time. Where the total number is ‘even’ (and the fruit/veg can be shared out equally) the learner can write the number of fruit/veg on one plate (the ‘half’ amount) on the line underneath at the end of the question (e.g.) Half of 2 is …4. For the even numbers (which can successfully be split equally into half!) the learner can ‘circle’ the green ‘tick’ displayed, for the odd numbers (which cannot be shared equally into half!) the learner can ‘circle’ the red ‘cross’ 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 “One for you, one for me” out loud each time) to one of the plates. Useful for… Once complete this resource makes a useful reference tool to refer back to as needed to assist young learners during various maths linked activities.

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/small counting objects e.g. Duplo bricks - to place on top of each shape once ‘rolled’. One die is recommended (to ‘share’) to promote turn-taking. Players take turns to roll the die. The number on the die indicates the number of sides of the shape e.g. a circle has ‘one’ side therefore if the player rolls a ‘one’ with the die the ‘circle’ can be ‘ticked off’ on the board. Alternatively a counter/‘matching 2D plastic/wooden shape’ could be placed on top of each shape on the board once the shape has been ‘rolled’. The first player to tick off (or cover up!) all 2D shapes on their board is the ‘winner’ ! Clear visual instructions are included on page 1 of this resource which the players could be encouraged to read themselves before playing the game. Brief instructions are also included at the top of page 2 (above the ‘game boards). What’s needed? One die (dice) to share or one each. 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!
