Math Toolkit Everyday Essentials for Number Grades 1-2

Stop searching the internet every time you need a number line, ten frame, place value mat or math visual! This Grade 1–2 Maths Essentials Toolkit puts your everyday number sense, place value, addition and subtraction resources together in one easy-to-print pack, so the maths tools you reach for again and again are always at your fingertips.

---

This toolkit has been designed to make everyday maths teaching easier. Instead of searching online, creating your own templates or collecting resources from different places, you’ll have a ready-made bank of practical maths tools all in one place.

Better still, the resources have a consistent, seamless look, helping students become familiar with the visuals and tools they use during math lessons.

Simply print, organise and keep them ready for whole-class teaching, small groups, math rotations, intervention or hands-on learning.

Most resources are provided in both colour and black and white, with multiple versions of many templates so you can choose what best suits your students and teaching needs. We’ve even organised the resources into folders, making it quick and easy to find exactly what you need.

What is included:

• Addition and subtraction mats
• Digit cards
• Hundreds charts
• Maths symbols
• Number lines
• Place value charts
• 5, 10 and 20 frames
• Number representation activities
• Bonus two-digit match cards

Many of the templates include different versions and options to give you greater flexibility in the classroom.

How to use it in the classroom:

• Keep frequently used tools printed and ready for everyday math lessons
• Add resources to your math tubs or student toolkits
• Use the mats and visuals during explicit teaching and teacher modelling
• Support students during small-group instruction and intervention
• Add hands-on tools to math rotations and centres
• Use number lines, frames and place value charts as visual scaffolds
• Choose the version that best matches your students’ learning needs

The beauty of this toolkit is having one go-to collection rather than a mix of visuals gathered from different places. Your students see familiar, consistent resources, while you spend less time searching, downloading and creating.

Benefits for students:

• Builds confidence with essential number concepts
• Provides visual and concrete support for mathematical thinking
• Encourages hands-on exploration of number sense
• Supports understanding of place value, addition and subtraction
• Gives students familiar tools they can learn to use independently
• Helps make abstract math concepts more visible and accessible

Think of this as your maths teaching toolbox – packed with the essentials you need to make number learning more visual, hands-on and accessible. Print it, organise it and have your favourite math tools ready whenever you need them. No more resource rabbit holes required!
