Everything about a Ten Town character relates to their number, so Fiona Five, the Paralympic athlete, eats ﬁve portions of fruit and eg every day, and Nina Nine, the builder, has nine tools in her tool box.

This helps children to develop an understanding of the value of each number and can also be applied to everyday activities. So your child might like to set the table for King One with one knife, one fork and so on, or they could pair up socks, like Tommy Two!

Using Ten Town like this with your child is a great way to consolidate their learning. There are also a number of options to access the online activities at home, including stories, songs and games.

Welcome to ictgames. Here you'll find free to play educational games aimed at children between 5 and 8 years old; written by a UK teacher with 20 years experience. The games are linked to the UK KS 1 and 2 curricula. Here are some help videos to get you started.

&nbsp Number - number and place value

&nbsp Number - addition & subtraction

&nbsp Number - multiplication & division

&nbsp Geometry - properties of shapes

Early Years materials designed to support Reception teachers (those working with 4-5 year olds)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This project aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future.

The short videos below give a flavour of Mastering Number happening with different age groups. The teachers explain how the programme has benefited all pupils in their classes, providing firm foundations for later work in maths.

Who can take part?

Lead participants from Work Group schools will be three teachers - one each from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 - known as Lead Teachers. Some support will also be given to subject leaders and headteachers. Where appropriate, Lead Teachers are expected to support the other teachers in their year group.

This programme and its Work Groups are open to all schools that have not yet engaged with the Mastering Number Programme.

What is involved?

This programme focuses on the key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1. Participating schools will receive central training (online and face-to-face) and a wealth of pupil-facing resources.

The resources available provide teaching materials for four short sessions each week, aimed at developing children's fluency and flexibility with number. Lead Teachers in schools will also contribute to an online community to share practice and engage in critical reflection.

The materials are designed to be used in conjunction with the Numberblocks episodes. They highlight and develop the key mathematical ideas that are embedded in the programmes. Each set of materials comes in the form of a PowerPoint file, and includes the following features:

The Practitioner Notes consist of three elements:

1. The episode description summarises the story and the key things that happen

2. The maths in the episode explains the key mathematical concepts that are featured in the episode

3. Using mathematical language - because it is important that practitioners model precise and correct mathematical language, there are suggestions of key sentences that you might use and have repeated; they provide a language structure to connect each mathematical idea to different contexts. Children will initially use their own language to talk about the mathematics, and will develop correct and precise language if this is modelled by adults.

Talk and Discuss Together provides a set of slides, designed to be used with children after they have watched the episode. They provide a stimulus to talk about what children have noticed, and draw their attention to key aspects of the mathematics. There are often notes for each slide, indicated by a blue dot in the bottom right-hand corner. The notes give ideas for supporting mathematical talk and engaging children in practical activity; some slides have animation to illustrate mathematical concepts.

Enabling Environments gives suggestions for extending the mathematics into the wider Early Years environment where children engage in meaningful activity and explore mathematical concepts.

Learning Together in Year 1 extends the mathematics into Y1. The slides are designed to be used within the context of whole class teaching for mastery.

An overview of each series, their storylines, the mathematics addressed, and links to the episodes on iPlayer, is available as a downloadable PDF. Please be aware that episodes may not always be available on iPlayer:

The Count On Races game, played by an adult and a child, helps children learn to count on mentally. A coin or a dice with 1 or 2 on each face is used. Children say the next number when counting on. For example, when starting from 7, for a jump of 2 we say '8,9'.

The Cube Model (4-6) and Cube Model Advanced (4-6) tasks, children recreate the models. This task develops visual-spatial skills and helps children to recognise two parts within the whole.

The Reasoning in Addition Puzzles get children thinking deeply about the value of different shapes. This Mathsbot link allows you to generate new reasoning in addition puzzles.

Visual Representations

This article explains the importance of children's finger discrimination skills and this article gives different ways in which fingers can be used. Here are some Finger Discrimination tasks by Youcubed.

These Base-5 and Base-10 Number Tracks are coloured to help children to see quantities within a number track.

This Online Base-5 Abacus by Math Rack represents quantities 10-100 using a base-5 colouring.

The Coloured 100-Squares help to identify patterns in the 100-square and can support children as they count in 2s and 5s.

The Teens & Tens Cards help children to discern between teen and tens numbers. The Place Value Sorting Task show different representations of teen numbers and challenge children to spot misconceptions.

Progression in Pattern

The Progression in Pattern guidance shows how children's understanding of repeating patterns can be built. The Grids for Repeating Patterns can be used as children look to create circular patterns with a fixed number of spaces.
