Count and build to 20
Connect each counted object with one number word, then represent the total with a numeral. Practise zero, teen quantities and counting in both directions. Foundation practice to 20 only. It does not complete counting to 100, ordinal numbers, odd/even numbers or all number-word spelling.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
One more, one less
Connect adding or removing one object with moving to the neighbouring number. Include the boundaries at zero and twenty and a missing starting number. Practice stays between 0 and 20. It does not complete the whole number range or teach subtraction below zero.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Compare and order to 20
Compare quantities by counting and matching, then order four numerals. Challenge the idea that a more spread-out group must contain more objects. Foundation comparisons and four-number ordering within 0–20 only. Not a complete “to 100” topic, ordinal sequence work or five-/six-number ordering.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Number bonds and fact families
Build wholes from two parts and connect addition facts to related subtraction facts. Practise missing parts, zero and checking a claim using counters and part-whole diagrams. Selected number-bond and fact-family practice within 20 only; not instant recall, speed practice, calculations above 20 or the whole topic.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Add and subtract stories to 20
Use pictured counters, choose an operation, solve one-step addition and take-away stories, then find a missing number by undoing a change. Selected practice within 20 only. It does not cover comparison difference, measures, two-step problems, speed practice or calculations above 20.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Equal groups and arrays
Build and count equal groups and arrays within 20 using objects, pictures and supported explanations. Introductory multiplication practice only; not times-table recall, formal written methods or complete topic mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Share and group equally
Share small quantities fairly and make equal groups within 20, connecting pictures with division questions. Supported exact division only; no remainders, above-20 calculations, speed claims or whole-topic completion.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Find and make a half
Recognise two equal parts, make a half and share exact quantities or lengths up to 20 into two groups. Shape and quantity foundation practice only; no fraction calculations, equivalence beyond two halves making one whole or complete topic mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Find and make a quarter
Recognise four equal parts, make a quarter and share exact quantities or lengths up to 20 into four groups. Supported equal-part practice only; no remainders, fraction calculations, broader equivalence or whole-topic completion.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Recognise 2D and 3D shapes
Name common pictured 2D and 3D shapes, count visible sides and connect shape models with familiar objects. Partial recognition practice only; drawings do not assess physical construction, every orientation or full spatial reasoning.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Position, direction and turns
Use page-relative position words, follow short grid directions and describe quarter and half turns. Keep the page upright. Partial practice only; not other viewpoints, coordinates, compass points, clock reading or complete spatial mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Compare everyday measures
Compare pictured length, height, thickness, mass, capacity and time using visible like-for-like evidence. Partial everyday comparison practice only; no centimetres, grams, clock reading, money, estimation assessment or whole-topic mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Measure and record with units
Count equal pictured units to measure and record length, height, mass, capacity to a marked line and duration. Partial introductory practice only; no calibrated standard units, clock reading, money or independent practical mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Read and write number words to 20
Connect counted quantities and numerals with number words to twenty through matching, spelling, word finding and small additions. Zero is included as useful practice. Partial activity-backed support: reading, copying and spelling from memory are different evidence, not a claim of independent fluency or whole-topic mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Read, write and represent numbers to 100
Read and write numerals, count in equal steps and groups, use tens and ones, compare labelled quantities and find number-line differences. Partial activity-backed practice; printed representations do not establish fluent practical number use, multiplication-fact recall or whole-topic mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Sequence events, days and months
Practise printed event sequences, immediate before and after relations, day and month order and broad duration words. Partial practice: explained routine differences are valid; calendar order does not prove independent spelling or clock reading.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printMaths
Use calendar and time language
Practise calendar order, relative day words and period meanings with adult feedback. Partial practice; a.m./p.m. and UK meteorological month groupings are labelled site extensions, not proof of clock reading or observed seasonal knowledge.

Say it, write it, check it
Turn an idea into a simple written sentence, edit basic punctuation and spacing, then sequence and retell a short original story. Partial Year 1 practice: simple statements, spaces, sentence capitals, a person’s name, full stops and one short narrative. It does not teach all spelling, handwriting, conjunctions, question/exclamation marks, place/day capitals or the pronoun I.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Build plurals with -s and -es
Sort singular and plural nouns, build regular -s/-es plurals and use them in supplied sentences. Fixed-word practice only: no irregular plurals, spelling changes such as babies, independent original writing or whole-topic completion.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Build words with un- and endings
Build un- meanings and words with -ing, -ed, -er and -est while keeping the root unchanged. The final short-vowel-doubling task is explicitly a TheLearnDen site extension, not the statutory unchanged-root rule. Supported fixed-word practice, not independent spelling fluency or whole-topic completion.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Read common exception words
Read taught common exception words, match exact spelling and meaning, and record adult-observed reading of forty-five DfE Appendix examples. Partial programme-aware support, not a universal word list or proof of independent decoding.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Spell common exception words and days
Practise taught common exception words and the seven days with spoken-target choices, writing, context clues and adult dictation. Partial programme-aware practice: choosing, copying and spelling from memory are distinct evidence, not whole-topic mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Build, sequence and check sentences
Practise supplied word order, spaces, joining with and, short narrative sequence, oral composition and rereading. Partial practice: copying, supported composition and independent writing remain distinct evidence; subordination is not claimed.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Capitals, punctuation and dictation
Practise capital letters, vowel and consonant terms, sentence end marks and adult-led dictation. Partial practice with adult feedback, not general writing attainment; dictation records transcription rather than independent composition.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Use clues, infer and predict
Practise finding stated details, explaining inferences from two visible or written clues and making supported predictions. Guided partial practice distinguishes retrieval, inference and prediction; it does not establish independent decoding or general comprehension.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Book talk, words and titles
Discuss an original poem, word meanings, book titles and central events, then record reading with an adult-selected phonics-matched book. Partial practice: these pages do not supply or certify a decodable text or establish fluent reading.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Build words with ing, ed, er and est
Build selected unchanged-root ing and ed verb forms and er and est adjective forms. A clearly labelled site extension explores four short-vowel doubling examples. Partial practice does not establish general spelling, tense or comparison mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Read and build contractions
Read and build common contractions, connect full forms to omitted letters and practise apostrophes in a bounded word set. Partial practice does not establish general reading or meaning mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Read words in syllable chunks
Practise spoken syllables and useful word chunks, with adult-observed whole-word reading. Partial practice keeps spoken syllables separate from visual spelling chunks and does not replace a phonics programme.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Letter names and alphabet order
Practise letter names, upper and lower case, letter groups and bounded alphabetical order. Record names and sounds separately; this partial checkpoint does not establish phonics or fluent reading mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Keep every sound in consonant clusters
Notice separate adjacent consonant sounds, segment and blend words, and record adult dictation. Printed tile work and spelling from memory remain distinct evidence. Partial practice does not establish spelling mastery across unfamiliar words.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Choose spellings from word context
Use meaningful sentences to choose reviewed alternative spellings in named words. Patterns remain word- and pronunciation-bound rather than universal rules. Partial practice does not establish independent spelling mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Consonant digraphs and word endings
Notice and complete reviewed consonant digraphs and word endings, including ng/nk contrasts. Matching and supported completion remain different from independent spelling; this is partial practice for selected skills.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Vowel digraphs and igh
Distinguish letters and sounds, notice reviewed vowel digraphs and igh, and record adult-heard reading. Named-word examples do not establish every pronunciation or complete-topic mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Split digraphs and ie
Practise reviewed split-digraph words and ie in meaningful sentences, with separate adult dictation. Supplied patterns are scaffolds, not proof of independent recognition or spelling mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Long ai, ee and igh
Notice ai, ee and igh in reviewed words, complete supplied frames and record adult dictation. Supported completion and spelling from memory remain separate; this is partial practice, not complete-topic mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Long oa and oo
Practise reviewed oa and long-oo words, meaningful sentence completions and adult-heard long/short oo contrasts. Pronunciation remains word- and accent-bound rather than a universal spelling rule.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Read and spell air, ar, ear and er
Read, notice and complete named air, ar, ear and er examples, with separate adult dictation. These bounded words do not establish every pronunciation, independent decoding or spelling transfer.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Read and spell oi, oo, or and ow
Practise reviewed oi, short-oo, or and ow words with adult dictation and pronunciation guidance. Short-oo examples stay separate from the long-oo pack; coverage remains partial.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Hear rhyme and sound positions
Practise spoken rhyme, initial and final phonemes, sound counts and vowel letters with adult support. Printed choices support the tasks; hearing and letter evidence remain distinct, with accent-aware guidance and partial coverage.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Blend and read simple words
Recall programme-taught letter sounds, blend supplied sound buttons and read reviewed words for an adult. Supported selection is separate from independent reading, and oral evidence requires an adult to hear the first attempt.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Segment sounds for spelling
Segment spoken words, record taught sound spellings and practise hidden adult dictation. Supported spelling, oral segmentation and spelling from memory remain separate; this is bounded partial practice rather than mastery.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printEnglish
Decode new and constructed words
Practise decoding with reviewed constructed strings and adult-selected programme-taught words. All printed constructed choices have reviewed provenance; shuffled strategy ordering is distinct from adult-heard reading and word/accent-bound pronunciation practice.

Look, sort and test materials
Distinguish an object from its material, record observed properties, group real samples and use a small absorption test to explain a material choice. A small selection of materials and properties, not the full Year 1 materials curriculum. No material-origin or seasonal activity is claimed. Bending depends on the sample and shape. The water task explores absorption; it does not prove waterproofness.

My body and five senses
Label external body parts, match the five Year 1 senses and make safe observations using evidence. Partial practice, not internal anatomy, diagnosis or mastery; people have other senses and experience sensory input differently.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printScience
Plants and trees: parts and clues
Label plant and tree structures, compare visible features and observe deciduous/evergreen patterns. Partial practice, not habitat, food-plant or seed-growth coverage; plant-part functions are a visibly labelled Year 3 site extension.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printScience
Objects, materials and where they come from
Distinguish objects from materials, follow simplified source chains, compare made and naturally occurring examples, and explain a material choice. Partial activity-backed practice; appearance alone cannot identify coatings or composites, and source chains do not prove a complete manufacturing history.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printScience
Compare material properties and choose a use
Compare the printed samples by texture, flexibility and light transmission, then choose a material for a stated use. Partial activity-backed practice with safe adult-led observations; no universal material-property, product-safety or whole-topic mastery claim.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printScience
Animal groups, coverings and body parts
Group named animals, compare coverings and body parts, sort examples using one stated rule, and record safe observations. Partial activity-backed practice; not exhaustive classification, diet or life-cycle coverage, and no animal handling is needed.
Answers included7 pagesFree to printScience
Seasons, weather and changing daylight
Sequence seasons, read example weather and daylight data, choose clothing from stated weather, and plan safe observations. Partial activity-backed practice; examples are not local forecasts or universal seasonal rules, and do not explain Earth–Sun causes. Never look directly at the Sun.
