Potion making recipes using non standard and standard units of measure. Create large buckets of water mixed with paint and glitter and have fun creating potions. Labels for 'ingredients' (water and paint) included.

Children to find the missing numbers. Could be a mental and oral activity or a main teach using a number line/cubes/numicon within Year 1 or for an intervention.

Minecraft inspired sheet to inspire children to record their own number sentence using a key. Sheet could be extended by removing the + and = and children being expected to record the whole number sentence themselves. Numbers on the key could also be made bigger. 'read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs  represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20  add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero  solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = – 9.' National Curriculum. Enjoy.

I split my class into mixed ability groups and ask them to answer the subtraction questions using resources of their own choosing. The questions go from LAP-AAP-AAP+-HAP. Children love working together to work out as many as possible!

Used at the end of year 1 as a different way to show multiplication and division using a triangle to support. Children use the triangle to find 2 multiplication and 2 division sentences using the same digits from the triangle. For my higher ability children I cut out the different families and mixed them so they had to really concentrate on what they were doing.

Y1 Fraction Dominoes - whole, half and quarter A way to get your children to see whole, half and quarter in a variety of ways :) I found this resource useful as my class were getting used to the half, quarter and whole of a 'pizza' that we see everywhere. Enjoy :)

A great way to encourage some greater depth thinking within position and direction. A few activities to encourage the use of key words. For higher ability children the key words could be removed. For Lower ability children their answers could be scribed for them and made practical using apparatus/resources.**

This sheet is based on questions provided within the cornerstones maths assessments for Y1. It also addresses the year 1 maths objectives: 'read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs  represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20  add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero  solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = – 9.' I have also left a box at the top for you to add your learning intention/MSC/Checklist/Objective etc. Enjoy.

Frozen inspired sheet to inspire children to record their own number sentence using a key. Sheet could be extended by removing the + and = and children being expected to record the whole number sentence themselves. Numbers on the key could also be made bigger or children could add together more items. 'read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs  represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20  add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero  solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = – 9.' National Curriculum. Enjoy.

Addition using subitising. Powerpoint and associated activities. Activity could be edited so the children have to record their own number sentence and show using the 10 frame or children could be given a sum and have to show this using the 10 frame. This could be used within the Early Years below 10 and in KS1 to 20. Add comments if this is useful to you and I will create similar resources :)
