What’s included? This download includes x4 pdf pages featuring x20 butterflies (a black/white and a rainbow (coloured) version, both in portrait orientation. What’s it for? This resource can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 20. The easy to read font size and predictable layout clearly models the process of doubling numbers to 20 to learners. 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 This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten butterflies. Each butterfly’s left wing shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order up to 20. Learners can complete the other half of each double by drawing the same number of ‘dots’ e.g. with a felt tip pen onto the space on the right wing. The total number of dots can then be written on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’ The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 20. There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).

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 x3 A4 pdf sheets in portrait and landscape orientation. The same resource is provided in three sizes - large (for an adult to use at the front of a class/group), medium (x2 per A4 sheet) and small (x4 per A4 sheet). 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. What’s it for? These counters have been designed for learners to use to count to 5 along with the ‘Five Little Ducks’ song. These resources have been designed to used during a group/class singing session although learners may enjoy singing this on their own/with parent/carers if they were able to take this home. This resource could be ideal for smaller groups, giving learners something to hold and ‘do’ to be involved while singing along to this well-known and familiar song. Learners count the number of ducks during the song and fold each duck down one at a time as the song goes along. How to use this resource These ducks have been designed to be printed onto card enabling the ducks to fold down/up (once assembled) as the song is sung. Simple, clear, step-by-step instructions are included on each resource. Important message… Any issues with this resource please let us know - we are happy to make changes.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 capital 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’ and ‘symmetrical’ or students needing additional learning support. How to use it? The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by first cutting around each capital letter to investigate one letter at a time. It is best to begin by folding letters and cutting once learners are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry. A (safety!) mirror could 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’ capital 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). Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Along the length of base side of the sheet is a set of smaller capital 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 capital letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated. Page 2 Learners will need a pencil to their write their name at the base of page 2 and access to a glue stick to continue their investigation using page 2. Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller capital letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical. Page 3 Clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation. Page 4 Clearly shows which capital 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.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online 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. Important Message ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let us know - we are happy to make changes.

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 two resources split across x3 portrait orientation, pdf pages. These resources have been designed to use together. What’s it for? This resource is a carrot themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 10. Learners match pairs of carrots which together make 10 (resource 1). Resource 2 (split across two pages) provides a space to record the number bond pairs once matched. 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. Resource 1 - 'Carrot number bonds to 10’ This is one sheet of ‘carrot cards’ which need to be prepared prior to use - see details below. Print this page onto card. Resource 2 - 'Carrot number bonds to 10 record sheet’ This is two sheets to record the matched number bonds to 10 on. Print page 2 onto card, page 1 is fine as paper. Resource 1 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 carrots 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 carrot-pair) to make folding quicker, easier and more accurate. How to use Resource 1 Once carrots have been cut out and assembled place on a table top and shuffle, ready for learners to match. Learners 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 carrot that they are holding over to look for the answer displayed on the back of the carrot (e.g. revealing ‘1’) This encourages learners to be autonomous when working, enabling them to do this activity on their own. Resource 2 Once learners have matched the number bonds to 10 carrots into pairs they place these onto the carrot outline shapes. Learners then write the numbers on the horizontal line provided and for each carrot number written they colour/tick this number of tiny carrot outline shapes above for both carrots. This enables learners to check that each pair of carrots (together) 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 carrot shape for the numerals 1 - 10 to be written if helpful for learners though blank should be fine for the purpose of counting.

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, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘counting in 2’s’ from 0 to 50 (and back) using rainbow and two coloured circles/square shaped ‘beads’. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise ‘counting in 2’s to 50’ (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 2’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 2’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 2’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 (yellow and blue) provide more challenge. This is due to there being lots of numbers in both yellow and blue, 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 (yellow and blue) provide ‘some’ support. Square beads or round beads? Although we feel that the round beads look equally lovely, the square beads are much easier and quicker to prepare, requiring only straight cuts to separate them, saving time. Resource Details The layout includes x6 rows and x9 columns of circular/square shaped beads numbered from 0 - 50. Beads are arranged in rainbow 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. 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 2’s’ number line as a reference.

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 x2 pages, portrait orientation, x1 page, portrait orientation, all in pdf format. x3 sheets in total 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 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 (included) - to place on top of each shape once ‘rolled’ can be cut out and used. One die is recommended (to ‘share’) to promote turn-taking. Clear game instructions are included on page 1 which players could be encouraged to read themselves before playing the game. What’s needed? One die to share or one dice each and a pencil each/game ‘counters’ - cut up (included). 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! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes x4 landscape orientation pdf sheets. What’s it for? This is a simple game to play to reinforce knowledge of number bonds to 10. This has been designed to build on a learners knowledge and improve the speed of recalling number bond facts. Who’s it for? Designed for Y1 and Y2, suitable for Reception aged children. This is a two player game so ideal for a parent and child or support assistant and individual child needing some extra help in remembering these number bonds. However, once a learner knows what to do this could be played on their own/with a friend. Resource Details This is a simple, easy to play game to reinforce number bonds to 10 knowledge in a fun, easy way, perfect to play at a table/desk…or on the floor! Everything needed to play this simple game is included in the pdf and the instructions are clearly printed on the game. Of course these can be adapted to suit each learner as long as it is fun and they are learning that’s the key thing! There are two options when playing this game. Option one involves covering number cards with ‘cover cards’ and writing the number bond pairs down. Option two involves cutting up and pairing number cards. Both involve some cutting, only option one needs a pencil for each player. Recommendation Printing this resource onto card is strongly recommended. Printing onto paper could mean numbers are visible through the paper risking the game being ‘unfair’ (and who enjoys a game like that?!) To make the game last for years, print onto card, cut up pieces and laminate and store in a zip-lock wallet. If you do this and would like a matching label making for your storage bag - just ask!

Register your interest now and be first in line for significant early bird discounts at https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes five A4, portrait pdf sheets to investigate ‘2D shapes and their properties’, presented as a ‘workbook’ for learners to complete through investigation. A sixth sheet has also been included as a set of tangible 2D shapes for learners to hold and investigate while completing this investigation. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children (to complete with support/as a group), pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The six 2D shapes investigated in this workbook are a circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. Page 1 is the ‘workbook’ cover and includes a clear space for learners to write their name. There is related 2D shape information included on the cover for learners to read as well as a visual list of what learners will need to complete the workbook - to encourage autonomy. Pages 2 and 3 include six sets of questions (one set for each shape) all in the same layout. Learners are to complete this information so that the information becomes a set of clear, (accurate!) facts about each shape. Where learners do not know the information (to complete these questions) they can investigate each shape using the clear picture provided and count e.g. the number of sides of each shape and ‘circle’ the corners/vertices to complete the information. Additionally I have included a set of these 2D shapes to print out (onto card) and hold and use during this investigation. To complete these pages there are ‘2D shape names’ to cut out on page 4 (along the right hand side) which learners should be made aware of (dotted lines indicate where to cut). An adult could pre-cut these x6 shape names for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting frustrating/demotivating. Pages 4 and 5 include the same information (as pages 1 and 2) completed in the same layout for learners to check their findings. There are also some ‘quick match’ questions at the very end of page 5 to recap what they have learnt. Page 6 a seperate set of these 2D shapes to print out onto card and (ideally) laminate to hold and use while completing this investigation.

For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the various lines of symmetry within x8 2D shapes. This investigation can be done by cutting/folding (ideally first) then recording these finding by drawing the lines of symmetry (using a ruler) onto the shapes on the sheet. Black and white AND colour versions of both sheets (cut/fold, drawing lines versions) included. 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 also be suitable for children in EYFS although with younger ages it would probably be a good idea to upscale the sheets to a larger size (on a photocopier/scanner) first. How to use it? The learner can explore lines of symmetry in two ways, either using a pencil and ruler or cutting out the shapes and folding them to investigate the lines of symmetry. Suggestion I would encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry within these 2D shapes by first cutting out the shapes (using the colour/black and white version designed for this - see pages 3 and 4). Once pupils have investigated these by folding they could then use pages 1/2 (colour/black and white) to record their findings with a pencil and ruler. Using safety mirrors along side cutting and folding AND when recording the ‘answers’ (using a pencil and ruler) will really help pupils to become clear and accurate in their mind as to whether they have found the line of symmetry. Important… Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line ‘through’ this centre point in order to be accurate in their findings. Answers are included on a separate page in the same format which learners could use for quick, easy reference. Resource Details lines of symmetry (or recording ‘answers after investigation) using a pencil and ruler in colour (page 3) and black and white (page 4). Pupils will need a pencil and a ruler each. *Investigating lines of symmetry by folding. x8 2D shapes will need cutting out (these could be pre-cut for pupils who find cutting out challenging). Pale grey, dotted ‘cutting out guidelines’ are included. Pupils will need a pencil (to ensure their write their name on their cut-out shapes!) and a pair of scissors each. 2D shapes included are right angled triangle, equilateral triangle, heart, circle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.

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’.

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 two resources (counting cards and game boards) to use together to play a simple game. x2 sheets are portrait orientation (rabbit cards) and x4 sheets are landscape orientation (carrot game boards). Together there are x6 pdf sheets. What’s it for? This resource uses a rabbit/bunny theme as learners can count (the pairs of ears) to help them as needed. This resource has been designed for learners to apply their knowledge of counting in 2’s (0 - 30) to playing a game. Four boards are included, each with x4 missing 2’s numbers. The first player to correctly fill their 2’s missing number gaps wins. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as early years children or older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details *Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards Page 1 includes x15 cards each featuring one rabbit (with two ears!) and a ‘two’s number’ underneath. Cards on page one are from 2 - 30. Page 2 includes an additional 24 and 28 card - to be used to play the ‘Carrot game’. These Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards can also be used on their own to practise ordering numbers (counting in twos). Carrot Game Boards (Counting in 2’s) For four players though one learner could use these on their own to practise matching and counting in 2’s (also using the ‘Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards’) Carrot Game - Instructions Needed to play game… One board (A-D) per player (x4 boards in total) One set of ‘Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards’ (AND one extra ’24’ card) To prepare - cut up, shuffle and place 'Counting in 2’s Rabbit Cards’ face down in a grid. How to play… Players take turns to select one card from the grid. If selected card fits into either the ‘upper’ or ‘lower’ sequence (above/below ‘grass’ on board) player keeps and positions this card on their board. The player then has another turn. If that card does not fit either sequence on the player’s board the card is returned and it is the next players turn. WINNER matches all (x4) 2’s cards correctly first! Game and card instructions are included at the top of each ‘Carrot game board’ and ‘Counting in 2’s Rabbit cards’ resource to cut out and keep.

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 x7 A4, portrait pdf 2D shape sheets featuring x36 matching cards. 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. What’s it for? This resources is to name, count (the sides of) and match 2D shapes to the correct word label. There are x4 ‘answer cards’ included in the set which clearly list the pairs of shapes (pictures and names) on page 4. Learners could use these to help them match the cards or refer to them after they have completed the matching activity, encouraging autonomy. How to use this resource This matching activity has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each 2D shape image and (if they are able) name this. Learners can also count the number of sides of each shape and match the picture to the name label to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs (images and labels together) learners can then order the pairs from the least number of sides to the most (or vice versa!) 2D shapes included are oval, ellipse, semi circle, circle, triangle, equilateral triangle, right-angled triangle, square, rectangle, trapezium, parallelogram, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon. This 2D shape matching set could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help remember the number of sides and/or cross-check the name/spelling of individual shapes if unsure when writing these down. This ‘shape match’ set could also be used for a variety of ways, both inside and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the 2D shape pictures cards or all the name label cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small piece of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

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 seven A4, portrait pdf sheets which make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Various vehicles to count and numerals/word number names from 1 to 20 to match). 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. What’s it for? This resource is to practise counting up to 20 items (vehicles) and match the total number with the correct numeral/number name word label. How to use this resource This matching activity set has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each image card and count the number of vehicles before matching the picture to the numeral/number name card to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs learners can order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. Once complete the cards can be threaded back together using the hole (top left of each card). The squares are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (using sticky Velcro would assist with easy opening). Once attached the numeral cards (like 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. The cards could also be used as a 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. Games This ‘number match’ set could 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 (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the vehicle cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small amount of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Rainbow Dots to count and numerals from 1 to 20 to match). How to use this resource These square cards are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (maybe fastened with velcro for easy opening). The numeral cards (like 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. However these have been designed to be a counting activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring (shuffled or in order). Learners then count the rainbow dots on each card and find the matching numeral (or vice versa!). Once complete (or ‘as they go’ if working ‘in order’) learners can then order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. These could also be used as a 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.

Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the Rainbow Dot cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. 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. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic (as seen on the main resource image). Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small piece of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

What’s included? This download includes x9 pdf pages, each featuring x10 robots (x3 black and white versions, x3 black and white with rainbow coloured dots versions and x3 rainbow (coloured) versions). All are in portrait orientation. What’s it for? These resources can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 10. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten robots with ten recap questions at the end. Each robot’s chest clearly shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order/random order up to 10. Learners complete the other half (of each double) by drawing ‘dots’ e.g. with a thick felt pen onto the space on the right side of each robot’s chest. Learners then write the total number of dots on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’ The robots and questions are both in order and random order - you choose which to use depending on what best suits the needs of your learner/s. The x10 recap questions at the end enable learners to consolidate their ‘doubles knowledge’. In two of the colour version sheets the ‘outline colour’ of each ‘question box’ matches the robot colour - providing a visual link for the learner to check back to each corresponding robot, if needed, before committing to writing answers in the question boxes at the end. There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).

This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 30, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Smarties included! What’s it for? This resource has been designed to investigate collecting data in a step by step, meaningful way. There are three steps in this investigation, sorting and counting the data (Smarties), organising and recording the data (onto a bar chart) and the last step - answering questions about the data. Your learners should be data handling experts at the end of this and may be allowed to eat their Smarties as a reward (alternatively paper Smarties are provided!) 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 There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Smarties’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one tube of Smarties - each learner will need a tube each! Learners could be given a real tube with either real or ‘paper/cardboard Smarties’ inside. See attachment included to cut out and give your learners a random selection of paper Smarties instead. I have found tubes of Smarties have an average of x30 Smarties per tube but if you are giving learners paper/cardboard Smarties this really can be any number of course to fit their ability. The maximum number of one colour of Smarties which will fit on to the bar chart is 12. Page 1 Learners are to sort the Smarties in the tube into x8 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and brown). Learners then count the number of Smarties in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each colour group of Smarties. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 Smarties (for each colour group). Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same tube/number of Smarties. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.

Paper Skittles included! What’s it for? This resource has been designed to investigate collecting data in a step by step, meaningful way. There are three steps in this investigation, sorting and counting the data (Skittles), organising and recording the data (onto a bar chart) and the last step - answering questions about the data.

Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Skittles’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one random amount (portion) of Skittles - each learner will need their own portion. Learners could be given a real Skittles or ‘paper/cardboard Skittles’. On the bar chart there is space for up to x16 Skittles of one colour so the amount of Skittles given to learners can be any number to fit their ability, however no more than x16 of any one colour group if you intend for learners to use the bar chart (pages 2 or 5). Page 1 Learners are to sort their portion of Skittles into x5 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green and purple). Learners then count the number of Skittles in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘colour’ boxes for each colour group of Skittles. Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same number (portion) of Skittles.
