I used this resources to support my greater depth children to record their reasoning and to challenge each others thinking. A great resource to hit the objective ‘Use related multiplication facts to reason’

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.**

Adding and subtracting 10 using a number track. Plain and simple, editable questions and text box at the top to add a Learning intention/WALT/Success criteria and a date. Questions to 20.

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.

Pirate coordinates activity. Children use the coordinates to find 2D shapes. The children loved trying to guees what the shapes were after only mapping a few coordinates. You could do this in groups/pairs or as a single activity. Children use positional language to fill in the missing gaps in the paragraph at the bottom. To extend this activity I cut out 2D shapes (the same as on the grid) and hid them around the school. I added an instruction onto each shape to lead to the next. At the end of the hunt there was a treasure chest full of chocolate coins :)

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.

Children to record different ways of making the number in the star. It could be just addition, subtraction or mixed. You could also edit for multiplication further up school. My children always come up with some great ways and this is a great way to assess the children's recall and mental ability before teaching calculation. Enjoy - If you would like me to edit or change, drop me a comment.

Children use the coordinates to draw shapes and name.

A division activity. Children could solve this physically first using concrete resources then move to using coloured pens/crayons to record within the treasure chests. I fins this way prepares my children for recording to find an answer within a test style situation.

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 :)

A tower which can be laminated and used as a great starter or lesson within KS1/Lower key stage. Children are required to get down the timer by mentally adding or using resources. Resources also comes with some key questions to extend the activity. Could be used to extend higher ability to think in a higher order way by guessing first before carrying out addition. 'How did you know?' type questions. Enjoy!
