Before you begin.

01

Print on A4

Use the sample pages’ A4 size. Keep each whole page at one consistent scale; check the print preview before printing.

02

Keep it simple

A pencil is enough. Children can shade or colour the outline pictures if they like.

03

Take your time

Try one activity at a time. Give space for counting aloud, drawing and talking through an idea.

04

Use the key

The separate answer page includes answers and guidance for the open-ended pattern activity.

OPTIONAL UPDATES FOR GROWN-UPS
