A practical EYFS and KS1 number resource designed to support children with counting, number recognition, reading number words, matching and ordering numbers from 1 to 6.
The resource includes three black-and-white activity worksheets, with each number represented by a simple picture and action, for example 1 Frog Croaking and 6 Kites Flying.
Children can count the objects, colour the pictures, cut them out and place them in the correct numerical order. The picture prompts also encourage children to connect number with quantity, reading and language.
Each worksheet is also provided in a colour version. These can be used as teacher demonstration sheets or cut out and laminated to create reusable flashcards and matching/sorting activities.
Children can make sets, match pictures to numbers or number words and put the cards in sequence.
Number-word cards from One to Six are supplied in both black-and-white and colour. The black-and-white cards can be coloured by children, while the colour versions are ideal for display, demonstrations, games or laminated classroom resources.
A blank template is included for teachers and children to create their own versions of the counting sheets. Children could draw the correct number of objects, add pictures cut from magazines, paste in classroom images or invent their own counting sets.
The resource supports number recognition, one-to-one counting, matching numeral/number word to quantity, sequencing and ordering, early reading, fine-motor skills through colouring and cutting, and mathematical vocabulary. It is suitable for EYFS and KS1.
