Measuring length using cm (up to 25cm)

(0)
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’.

Hundred Square Jigsaw Puzzle x6 Group Set

(0)
What’s included? A set of x13 sheets, portrait orientation, colour pdf format. x6 colours (x2 sheets per learner) Colours include x2 red, x2 orange, x2 yellow, x2 green, x2 turquoise, x2 blue and one B&W ‘answers’ sheet. 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. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to give learners an opportunity to explore more closely the position and relationship of numbers to 100 within a hundred number square. There is a 100 number square jigsaw puzzle to cut out (x12 pieces in total) and assemble and some ‘missing numbers’ to fill out, following on from completing the jigsaw puzzle. I have included x6 sets in different colours to avoid learners getting their jigsaw pieces muddled up when cutting them out and assembling their jigsaw puzzles. How to use it? Each learner is to be given two sheets in the same colour, e.g. one learner has the two red sheets, another learner has the two orange sheets, etc. Page 1. The first page is a ’board’ for the 100 number square jigsaw puzzle pieces to be positioned and then stuck on to. Once this has been completed learners can fill out the missing numbers at the base of this sheet. There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of the sheet and a space to record the number date (top, right). To complete this activity learners will need: a pair of scissors a glue stick a pencil Page 2. This page clearly displays all twelve ‘jigsaw’ pieces for the 100 number square jigsaw puzzle. Learners are to cut around each shape - dotted lines guide where to cut and assemble these pieces on the large white square at the top, centre of page 1. Last page 13. Answers, clearly displayed. The complete 100 number square is at the top, centre and the missing numbers (completed) at the base of the sheet. This has been designed for learners to access and cross-check themselves once they have completed the activity, encouraging autonomy.

Investigating half (1-20) with recap questions

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x6 sheets, landscape orientation, in colour to investigate the concept ‘half’ up to 20. 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. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to investigate which numbers (from 1 to 20) can be ‘halved’. There is a introduction to ‘half’ on page one and x20 recap questions at the end. Resource layout Page 1 This is an introductory page (not numbered) to explore ‘half’ is demonstrated step by step (horizontally) across the page. Pages 2 to 5 These pages enable learners to investigate each number from 1 to 20 (in order) to discover whether it can (or cannot!) be split equally into two. Starting at number 1 each box visually shows that number of pencils with two sheets of paper positioned below. Learners draw a line from one pencil to the left sheet of paper and the next pencil to the second (right) sheet of paper, continuing to do this (alternating drawing a line to the left/right sheet of paper each time, one pencil at a time) until there aren’t any more pencils available. Underneath the image of two 'sheets of paper’, the learners circle either the tiny image of ‘tick’ / ‘cross’ to indicate whether that number can be split in half (or not). Lastly for every question is a sentence e.g. ’Half of 2 is ___ ‘ for learners to complete. Learners write the missing number on the line to complete the sentence. Where a number (e.g. 1) cannot be split equally into half and therefore the sentence - ‘Half of 1 is ___ ‘ cannot be completed the learner can instead draw a line or cross in the space, e.g. ‘Half of 1 is ___’ OR ‘Half of 1 is X’. Learners then move onto investigating the next number. Page 4 At the end of page 4 there are two larger red/green boxes for learners to write the numbers (on the left/right) which cannot/can be split equally into half. Page 5 On page 5 there are x20 recap questions in the same order as the investigation (pages 2 to 4) and using the same colour boxes for each question. The colours should help guide learners back to the question they need to check their earlier findings should they need it. Recommendations I recommend that learners explore the concept of ‘halving numbers to 20’ practically before recording their learning. Physically using coloured matchsticks or lolly sticks and a sheet of A4 folded/with a line drawn down the centre is a simple way to begin! Small coloured matchsticks could be placed on top of the pencil images each time for a learner with good fine motor control.

(0)
What’s included? This pdf download includes sixteen (rainbow themed) ‘number bonds to 5/10/20’ pages, all presented in portrait orientation. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Reception, Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? To practise recalling number bonds to 5/10/20 facts as well as providing the opportunity to identify number ‘patterns’ which are helpful in identifying missing numbers in a sequence. Resource layout The simple lay out of each number bonds sum is an easy to use resource. Numbers can be written on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) in the blank box covering the missing numbers in each number bond. The large size 35/50 ‘Avenir’ font makes the numbers and + sign easy to read and models the addition ‘pattern’ in a clear layout to learners. Resource 1 - in order x2 pages includes number bonds (to 5/10/20) questions to complete in ‘order’, with answers. Page 1 has been designed to be a ‘cut and stick’ missing numbers activity, however missing numbers can be written in the empty boxes instead, either works. The answers are clearly presented in the same layout on page 2. Page 2 could be used as a reference resource for display Resource 2 - in random order x2 pages includes number bonds (to 5/10/20)questions to complete in ‘random order’, with answers.

Data Handling - Favourite Colour Investigation

(0)
What’s included? This download includes two sets of three A4, portrait pdf sheets ( a black and white AND colour version) to investigate which colour is each pupil’s favourite (designed for a class of 30 - up to 32 spaces available). Learners transfer the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart and answering questions about this. 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 are x3 sheets in total for the B&W AND colour set. Page 1 is to be used in landscape orientation (to collect the data using the tally system). Pages 2 and 3 are both to be used in portrait orientation. Page 2 is designed to use the data collected on the tally chart (on page 1) to create a block graph to present this information. Page 3 asks questions related to the data collected and recorded on pages 1 and 2. The ‘colour’ version has been designed to make the meaning even clearer to learners, especially when plotting the bar chart and recording the colour names in answers to the questions on page 3. Spellings for all colours are clearly displayed at the top (of page 3). Page 1 Learners are to ask up to x32 people ‘What is your favourite colour?’ recording each response using the tally system. For learners who are new to/less familiar with 'how to tally’ - tallying is modelled on the right side of page 2. To begin at the top of page 1 is a space to record ‘how many pupils’ are present (in class) that day to question. Once the data has been collected the number of tallies for each colour can be counted. The total of all colour groups can be added together to check if the same number of people identified as being present and available to ask ‘What is your favourite colour?’ matches the number of tally marks actually recorded. An important lesson in careful, accurate data collection. There is a space for two additional colours to be written if needed (in the boxes on the right side of the tally chart). Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart presented on page 2. Learners colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes’ for the number of tallies recorded for each favourite colour. There is space on the bar chart for up to 32 people (for each colour group). There is also a space to record the data collected for up to two additional colours (on the right side of the bar chart) if needed. Page 3 The questions on page 3 link to the information collected/recorded on pages 1 and 2. There is also an opportunity to practise both reading a tally and recording the correct number this shows and recording a number as a tally.

What are tens and ones? An introduction

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x7 sheets in portrait orientation to better understand what tens and ones/units are - looking at numbers from 1 to 99. 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. This resource has been designed to be shared with learners at a slower pace where what tens and ones/units are does not yet make sense to them. This resource could be used as a whole class introduction to tens and ones/units - displayed on a white board and completed with the help of learners. This resource could also be used as part of online teaching and learning about tens and ones/units. Resource layout Page 1. Introduces learners to ‘ones’ and how ten ones can be positioned on a row or column to become a ‘ten’. Why we do this is made clear. Learners are introduced to the vocabulary ‘ones’, ‘ten/ten stick/tens stick/tens/tens sticks’, ’row’, ‘column’, ‘vertical’ and 'horizontal’. Page 2. Looks at why when ten ones become a stick of ten and how it is helpful to use a different colour for tens and ones. Page 2 also looks at images of ‘tens sticks’ and ‘ones’ and how these are counted and written as numbers. Page 3. Identifies how a large group of ‘ones’ can become confusing and tricky to count. Page 3 models how to count these ones - counting ten at a time and how these ‘groups of ten’ become ‘tens’ while the remaining ‘ones’ stay as ‘ones’. How this is written as a number is also clearly shown. Learners are introduced to the vocabulary ‘swapping/exchanging’, ‘left over’ and ‘group’. Page 4. Shows learners how they can draw their own ‘stick of ten’ and ‘ones’ and provides an opportunity for learners to practise grouping ten 'ones’ as ‘tens’ and writing this as a number. Page 5. Looks at what each digit in a number represents, e.g. in the number ’36’ the ‘3’ is the number of tens and the ‘6’ is for the ‘ones’. This is also modelled visually and learners are given the opportunity to practise writing the numbers ’27’ and ’45’ as ‘tens’ and ‘ones’ as well as drawing these numbers as ‘tens sticks’ and ‘ones’ squares. Page 6. Looks at numbers with no ‘tens’ (numbers 1 to 9). Learners are given the opportunity to count and write two numbers without a ‘ten’ - 8 and 5. Numbers 10 to 19 are identified as only having one ten and learners have the opportunity to count and write the numbers where 14 and 17 are represented visually. Page 7. Looks at numbers with ‘more than one ten’ in them - from 20 to 99. ‘Hundreds’ are not mentioned in this resource.

Tens and units/ones. Cut and match activity

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x8 sheets - x7 in landscape orientation and x1 in portrait orientation to practise counting out tens and ones to match numerals up to 69. 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. What’s it for? Learners count out tens and ones (by cutting out tens/ones images) to match numerals from 2 up to 69. Resource layout Learners write their name at the base of each sheet. Each learner should also be given one tens/ones sheet to cut out what they need. The more sheets learners complete the more tens/ones they will need so spares of this sheet will be need to be available - close to hand. Learners look at the numeral in each box and count out (cut) the correct number of ones and tens to position (stick) in the box. Each sheet is numbered (1 - 7) the more sheets learners complete the larger the numerals on each sheet become. Page 2 has been left blank for you two write in the numbers you wish to target instead. Target numbers you choose Page 2 has blank boxes for an adult to write numerals they would like to target for learners to practise. The size of the boxes on page 2 are quite small and suitable for ‘ones’ numbers (smaller than 10) - a ‘ten stick’ may fit here if placed horizontally but only with up to x7 ones. The numbers on sheet 7 could be covered up if adults wish learners to target specific numbers with tens and ones as there is more space in these boxes. I think x7 ten sticks is the limit for the two boxes on page 7 size-wise. Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

Odd Even number investigation (to 100)

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x2 landscape orientation pdfs to investigate odd and even numbers up 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 layout Page 1 features a hundred number square and simple instructions for learners to circle or colour each number (red for odd numbers and green for even numbers) depending on whether the numbers are odd or even. Learners will need to be familiar with what ‘odd’ and ‘even’ means and if they don’t already know which of these numbers are odd or even they will need to know how to work this out. After completing the 100 number square there is a question (in the blue cloud shape on the left) asking learners ‘What do you notice?’ - this is to encourage learners to identify that once the numbers have been coloured there is a red/green repeating colour pattern. There is a space on the left for learners to record their own answer to this in the blue box provided or learners could articulate their observations to an adult who could write this for them as needed. There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of page 1 (on the left) as well as recording the number date at the top (on the right). Page 2 features two large boxes - red for odd numbers (on the left) and green for even numbers (on the right). At the base of sheet there are x15 (random) numbers (up to 100) for learners to cut out (following the dotted lines) and sort into the red/green boxes above. Learners could use their completed page 1 as a reference to help with completing page 2. There is a clear space at the top of page 2 (on the left) for learners to write their name as well as recording the number date (on the right). What’s needed? Page 1. Learners will need: a red and green pencil/crayon/felt tipped pen a pencil If using pen I would encourage learners to ‘circle’ each number (rather than ‘colouring them in’) to avoid the paper becoming saturated with pen - particularly if learners will then use page 1 as a reference to complete page 2. Circling numbers (instead of ‘colouring them in’) would be the most effective use of time for this activity. Page 2. Learners will need: a pencil scissors a glue stick Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

2D shapes (and properties) name game

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x2 pages, portrait orientation, in pdf format. 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’ resource 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/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!

Odd Even number investigation (to 20)

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x7 sheets in landscape orientation to investigate which numbers are odd and even from 1 to 20. 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 layout Page 1 has x7 step by step instructions and a visual example of how to use the resource (as described in the instructions) for adults to reference to help learners get started. There is a simple sentence identifying what ‘odd’ and ‘even’ means, however learners are able to investigate each individual number in turn (from 1 to 20) to find this out for themselves. This resource could precede the ‘odd/even numbers investigation to 100’ resource which is also available in my TES shop. Pages 2 to 6 Learners systematically work their way through the numbers (in order) from 1 to 20. For each number learners draw the correct number of dots, alternating between drawing a dot on the left then a dot on right (repeated) until the correct number of dots has been recorded. After doing this learners need to identify whether the amount of the dots on the left and right is ‘different’ or ‘the same’ and it is this which helps learners to identify whether each number is odd or even. There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the right side of each sheet and a space to write the number date at the top (right). Page 7 provides an opportunity for learners to consolidate their knowledge and record which numbers are ‘odd’ (in the red box on the left) and which numbers are even (in the green box on the right). Learners could complete page 7 on their own (from memory) or use their completed pages 2-6 as a reference to help with completing page 7 if needed.

This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. This resource could precede the ‘odd/even numbers investigations’ to 20/ 100 - both of these resources are also available in my TES shop. Resource layout Page 1 has x7 step by step instructions and a visual example of how to use this resource for adults to reference to help learners get started. There are (colour coded) ‘sharing spots’ included for each number for learners to use to investigate whether each individual number in turn is odd or even from 1 to 10. Pages 2 to 6 Learners systematically work their way through the numbers (in order) from 1 to 10. For each number learners cut out and share out the correct number of ‘sharing spots’, alternating between placing (then sticking once happy) a dot on the left tall box then a dot on right tall box (repeated) until the correct total number of dots has been recorded. After doing this learners need to identify whether the amount of the dots on the left and right is ‘different’ or ‘the same’ and it is this which helps learners to identify whether each number is odd or even. There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of each sheet (on the left) and a space to write the number date at the top (right). Page 7 provides an opportunity for learners to consolidate their knowledge and record which numbers are ‘odd’ (in the red box on the left) and which numbers are even (in the green box on the right). Learners could complete page 7 on their own (from memory) or use their completed pages 2-6 as a reference to help with completing page 7 if needed. AlternativeSuggestion Coloured sticky dots could be used instead of the ‘sharing spots’ if you have these and if easier. Using ‘sticky dots’ instead would save learners needing to cut out and stick down the ‘sharing spots’ provided which may help make this activity simpler.

Counting in 10's to 100 Cut/stick activity

Counting in 10's to 100 Cut/stick activity

(0)
What’s included? This pdf download includes x3 pages designed in landscape orientation featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting in 10’s up to 100. This resource has been designed in black and white for easy, clear printing. 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. This has been designed as a ‘cut and stick’ activity for learners who may find ‘writing’ numbers challenging or those who love to cut and stick! The numbers to cut out are positioned at the base of the sheets - these could be pre-cut by an adult to speed up the activity or to support learners who find cutting challenging/de-motivating. Cutting ‘dots’ are included to guide the children in where to cut ‘out’ (rather than cut ‘up’ !) the numbers! Resource layout Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the numbers easy to read and the simple layout makes the process of counting in 10’s visually clear to young learners. The headings are in the same font - size 20 and the instructions are size 16. Page 1 The first page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where the learner can cut and stick the correct 10’s number. The numbers ’30’ and ‘100’ have already been typed in the boxes, leaving x8 number gaps for the learner to complete. With two completed numbers to help this is the least challenging sheet in this set. Page 2 This page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank box under each image where learners are to stick the correct 10’s number. This blank version can be printed and the adult can write some more of the 10’s numbers in, leaving some gaps for the learner to complete the boxes. If given to a learner as it is (without any numbers written on) this page (page 2) is the more challenging sheet in this set, particularly as the numbers to ‘cut out’ (at the base of the sheet) are intentionally ‘mixed up’. Page 3 The last, page 3 is the answers page - ALL numbers completed - making the answers clear to learners. This makes page 3 a helpful reference sheet which learners could use to check their answers themselves - encouraging autonomy. Page 3 could be used as a reference resource for display. There is a space on each sheet for learners to record the number date (top, right) and write their name. Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback of this resource would be wonderful - thank you!

Counting in 10’s to 100 Circle cards x7 colours

(0)
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. See ‘recommendations’ below… 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.

Exploring concepts BIG small

(0)
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.
