A Knowledge Organiser to give children, parents and teachers the key facts that need to be learned and retained. This ‘mat’ would be referred to throughout the topic. Children would be required to use vocabulary within their writing and in speech to show understanding. Key dates should be recalled.

A great activity to secure knowledge and understanding of bonds. Mainly aimed at year 1 but could be used for SEN or beginning of year 2 as an assessment tool.

A printable teacher planner which includes -lesson planner -notes page -medium term -daily outline -class list page -timetable print the sheets you’d like and how many to build your own planner

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 :)

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.

Children to find missing numbers in a number sentences using a numberline. Could be used for Year 1/2 or for an intervention - See my other resources for accompanying sheets :)

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.

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 :)

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.

Addition questions - differentiated. Children to find the answers to the sums, then find the matching letter card. Letter cards can be spread around the classroom for children to find. Letter cards reveal a planets name when all questions are answered and the letters are found. :)

Children to gather properties of 2D shapes within a table. Can children answer the higher order thinking questions in a sentence? or could they answer them and an adult record. All great evidence within a maths book. Aimed at Year 1 or shape intervention.

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!

Planningng with objectives (statutory and non statutory) with label a plant activity sheet.

A simple dice game. Children to roll a dice and read the corresponding fraction. The child then chooses a shape to colour. The first child to colour 4 shapes correctly in a row wins!

A matching activity. Print and laminate, cut out the animals and match them with the correct parent/baby. Alternatively could be printed and children required to glue them into the correct places. A full word list added so children can label and name the animals too :)

A great way to secure fact family knowledge and understanding.Can children manipulate the numbers given to them. Could they reason and explain how they know? Eg. ‘The biggest number must be at the front to be shared. The 2 smallest numbers multiply to make the biggest number.’

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.

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!

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’

Fantastic resource with lots of uses. Children should be familiar with the counties of the UK and where they lie in relation to each other.
