This resource was created for Post 16 learners with SEND as part of their Entry Level maths / Life Skills work. Learners discussed the importance of checking best before dates on food and choosing food items with the longest date. There are 2 worksheets, one with only 2 items to compare and one with 3 to allow for differentiation.

Change in pounds (£) and pence §, KS1, KS2, SEND Entry Level / Functional maths. Peg card activity designed for Post 16 Learners with SEND, but also appropriate for KS1 / KS2. Learners need to calculate what change would be due and place a peg on the correct amount. As a laminated peg card activity this is a reuseable resource but it could also be printed and used as a worksheet. There are 3 different activities within this item: Peg cards where child or young person calculates change from £1 (varying difficulty including 10s, 5s and single pence) Peg cards where change is calculated from £10 (whole pound / 50p) Peg cards where the learner has to recognise the coin or note, then calculate change (various amounts up to £10) Each activity contains 12 different cards.

A resource I made for a mixed group of ks1 / ks2 children with autism / social communication needs. Aim is to develop greater understanding of feelings and to begin to develop awareness of other's feelings, also turn taking and attention and listening. Resource includes a feelings poster and 18 cards describing situations that have happened to an imaginary child - e.g. 'She has a wobbly tooth'. We discuss the various feelings an how children are feeling today. Cards are placed face down and children take turns to turn cards over. They consider how the person may be feeling. More able groups could be prompted / questioned to consider would everyone feel that way in that situation (some people can't stand having wobbly teeth, others get excited...) further developing theory of mind and understanding that people can feel differently about situations.

Base cards showing a food item and a price up to 20p. Learners need to find the matching card (showing British coins) to attach to the base card. Best laminated and with velcro attached. 14 cards to match (photo only shows 6 of them)

Children read the word and attach clothes peg onto the appropriate picture. To reduce the possibility of guess work, many of the pictures are of items which are similar to the word if read incorrectly, for example ‘feel’ shows pictures for ‘fall’, ‘feel’ and ‘feet’. Three sets of cards are in pack, 15 cards in each set. Cards need trimmed and ideally laminated. I designed these for my learners with autism / ADHD as a more interactive way to practice reading, but they are also suitable for KS1 / SEN.

4 resources I’ve used with my class of children with autism to develop understanding of 1 more / 1 less. Suitable for mainstream children and learners with SEN. I have kept these sheets very simple and visual for my learners. 3 worksheets and set of peg cards which I use as a TEACCH workstation task (box job). Learners identify the correct answer by placing a peg on the card.

Resources made for Science Week with a focus on ‘Staying Alive’. We learnt about the difference between living and non living things, that animals including humans grow from babies into adults, that some animals grow inside their mother while others hatch from an egg, children kept a food journal for later learning about a balanced diet. Before learning about basic needs, children attempted to complete a mind map, adding to this later.

Resources made to support SEN group with autism. We read 'Little Polar Bear' by Hans de Beer. Colour cards are orange 'who' words to support Narrative Intervention. Structured visual (TEACCH) included to support students to write about Lars and Henry's journey. This is coloured red as this covers 'where' words. Will work equally well for children who are not using narrative intervention - in which case the word colours could just be random. Could also benefit children without ASD who struggle with working memory, attention or writing activities. Saved as PDF.
