Popcorn pots with numbers on them and then popcorn tops with a number to match to make number bonds to 10. Why do you need this? Number bonds are an important foundational concept in mathematics, particularly for understanding addition and subtraction relationships. The worksheet provides opportunities for students to practice decomposing numbers and recognizing the combinations that make up 10. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of ways: · Math lessons focused on number bonds · Numeracy centers · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Independent work stations What is included? Worksheet with 9 popcorn pots and a sheet with corresponding popcorn tops. Also included is a black and white version.

Cut and stick pictures of big and small versions of the same pictures onto sorting boards labelled ‘big’ and ‘small’. Why do you need this? Teachers might use activities where children cut and stick pictures of big and small versions onto sorting boards to help students understand the concept of size and develop their fine motor skills. This hands-on activity engages students in visual discrimination as they compare and contrast the sizes of different objects. It also reinforces vocabulary related to size and encourages critical thinking as students categorise the pictures based on their size. Overall, this activity promotes both cognitive and motor skill development in a fun and interactive way. How and when might you use this? Teachers might use this activity during early childhood or reception education or with older children with special educational needs to introduce or reinforce the concept of size comparison. Can be used in group or independent practice or independent workstations. Can be used as a one off activity or for continued use you may want to laminate the boards and pictures and use Velcro to move the pictures around. What is included? Included are 2 boards, one labelled ‘big’ and one labelled ‘small’ and 14 pictures to cut and stick onto the appropriate board.

1-10 Number lines to support children in maths. Why do you need this? Number lines offer a structured way for students to practice counting forwards and backwards. By visually following the sequence of numbers on the line, students reinforce their counting skills and learn the concept of one-to-one correspondence. Number lines support problem-solving skills by providing a visual framework for solving mathematical problems. Students can use the number line to model and solve word problems, helping them develop critical thinking and reasoning abilities. How and when might you use this? Number lines can be used to support mathematical learning during counting practice, number recognition, basic addition and subtraction, problem solving and in maths centers or games. What is included? Included in this resource is are 4 different designs of number line: · Playful numbers made to look like monsters · Numbers to trace over and practice writing · Colorful numbers · Black and white numbers

3 Worksheets for subtraction within 10 in which children use pictures to solve subtraction calculations by crossing out the correct number of pictures and counting how many are left. Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt Clip Art

Matching cards for numbers 1-10. 6 different formats for each number including dice, cubes, counting fingers and numicon. Why do you need this? Matching cards with different representations of numbers provide a multisensory approach to learning. With multiple formats for each number, teachers can differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of students in the classroom. Some students may benefit more from visual representations like dots on dice or images of objects, while others may prefer tactile representations such as counting fingers or manipulatives like numicon. Matching cards help students develop a deeper conceptual understanding of numbers. By exploring numbers in various contexts and representations, students can grasp the abstract concept of number more concretely, leading to better mathematical comprehension. How and when might you use this? This activity can be used in a variety of ways: · Small group instruction · Whole class activities · Early morning work · Assessment activities · Homework or independent practice · Math games What is included? There are 6 cards for each number 1-10. For each number there is a card showing: · A number · The written word for the number · Numicon · Counting fingers · Dice · Cubes

6 shape sorting boards with different colour and size shapes to match and sort. Why do you need this? These shape sorting boards help in teaching basic geometric concepts such as shape recognition, colour recognition, and size differentiation. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of ways such as: · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Math lessons on basic 2D shapes · Independent work stations For continued use I would recommend laminating this resource and using Velcro to move the jigsaw pieces around. What is included? Included are 6 boards showing the shapes circle, square, triangle, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon, each with 5 shapes to add.

Counting activity in which children need to count the pictures and then find the correct corresponding numeral to place on top. Why do you need this? This activity provides practice in counting objects accurately. By counting the pictures before finding the correct numeral, children develop their counting skills and learn to count in sequence. It reinforces the concept of quantity and helps children understand that numbers represent specific quantities. How and when might you use this? This activity could be used in a variety of way: · Maths lessons focused on number recognition and counting · Small group instruction to provide targeted support · Independent work stations This can be used as a one off activity or for continued use you may want to laminate and use Velcro to move the pictures around. What is included? Included is a worksheet with 11 boxes each showing a different number of pictures and then a sheet of number cards to cut and place on top.

Worksheet with lots of basic 2D shapes; circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. Children can identify and find different shapes, count how many of each shape there are colour each type of shape a different colour.

Basic counting to 10 worksheets. 8 different worksheets to count the pictures and write the number. Why do you need this? Counting objects and writing the corresponding numbers is a fundamental mathematical skill that children need to develop. These worksheets provide structured practice opportunities for students to strengthen their counting skills and reinforce number recognition. Worksheets that require students to count objects and write the corresponding numbers help reinforce the concept of one-to-one correspondence which is foundational for understanding the relationship between numbers and quantities. How and when might you use this? These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways: · During maths lessons as a whole class activity to reinforce counting skills · During small group activities focussed on counting skills · As independent practice to complete individually · As homework assignments · As a warm up activity at the beginning of a maths lesson to review previously learned counting skills What’s included? 8 different counting to 10 worksheets with different items to count on each worksheet: crayons, farm animals, vehicles, dinosaurs, insects, zoo animals, fruit and cubes.

Play dough mats are a great way to practice fine motor skills while learning a variety of other skills. These particular mats can be used to help teach children numbers in words. Although I have suggested play dough for these mats they would also work with various other sensory materials as well simply with whiteboard pens. Clipart images courtesy of Pretty Grafik
