About this resource

This “Addition within 20 – Numicon” resource is a visually rich and hands-on maths tool for Year 1 pupils, supporting the UK National Curriculum objective: “Add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero.” Using Numicon imagery, this activity pack helps children visualise and internalise number bonds and addition facts in an engaging and accessible way. The resource includes a range of differentiated tasks where pupils use Numicon shapes to complete calculations, write number sentences, and interpret visual patterns. Equations such as 3 + 13, 8 + 8, and 14 + 5 are explored through guided practice and scaffolded representations, ideal for developing fluency and reasoning skills. Designed for classroom use, small group work, interventions, or homework, the pack comes with full answer sheets for quick marking or self-assessment. It supports both visual learners and those needing extra support in mastering addition within 20. Perfect for teachers, parents, and tutors looking to enhance numeracy through practical, visual learning.Read more

Matches our White Rose planning almost week for week.

I stopped adapting things from three different sites and now start here. The odd week does not line up exactly, but the small step it covers is always somewhere in the same block.

The editable file is why we renewed.

Being able to change two questions for the child who joined us in January, without rebuilding the whole sheet, is worth the subscription on its own.

Good value, and the answers are actually on it.

Small thing, but half the free sheets online expect you to work the answers out yourself. My TA can run a group on this without a briefing first.
