Clever Bee Resources

Average Rating4.68
(based on 32 reviews)

After 19 years at the chalk face, I have a very good idea of what works and what doesn't. The resources in my shop have all been designed and used by me throughout my career and have been tested on live children (none of whom were injured in the process) If you'd like to see a resource I haven't yet uploaded, please let me know as I probably have something useful tucked away (but bear with me, as I still work full time and we all know how many hours that means!)

KS1 Numeracy Support Mat

(2)
A handy two-sided support map for younger children which could act as a handy classroom prompt. The mat shows key concepts such as left and right, coins to £1, times tables 2 - 7, compass points (N,S, E, W), a 100 square and number line to 20, common 2D and 3D shapes, doubling and halving, and number names. I used to have a laminated copy for each child, which saved getting out lots of different resources for a quick warm up.
