Year 1 - Deep Sea Digits

An underwater Year 1 place value pack with tens and ones, comparing, ordering, dice games, cut-outs and colouring.

Dive into place value with Ollie the octopus and Sharky! In this pack, Year 1 kids discover that a string of 10 pearls makes one ten, then use it to build, compare and order numbers to 100. Sharky always eats the bigger number, which makes <, > and = easy to remember.

It’s packed with hands-on fun: roll the dice to build numbers, race to the treasure on the board game, cut out cards for snap and ordering games, and finish with a calm colour-by-place-value ocean scene. Every activity is Bronze, Silver or Gold, so kids can start where they feel confident.
