AUTUMN - Number Subitising Posters/Mats (1-6)
Autumn themed subitising posters which may also be used as mats. Each poster (1-6) displays the numeral on a central tree. Surrounding the tree are sycamore seeds, conkers, a hedgehog with dots and a dice which each subitise the number in different ways. In the top left corner we have also featured an autumn leaf with the number written in word form.

AUTUMN - Hedgehog Subitising (1-3)
This hedgehog subitising (subitizing) game encourages children to spot the hedgehogs with the appropriate number of dots (in different formations). ‘How quickly can we match all of the hedgehogs to the correct piles of cosy leaves?’
You may want to add an element of challenge with a timer, e.g. ‘Can we get all of the hedgehogs to their safe hiding spots before the timer runs out?’ (We would advise beginning without a timer and then only adding this element to progress the game once children are becoming confident. Start with a time which is definitely achievable.)
Choose the appropriate pack for your child(ren): Subitising to 3, 5 or 10. Other 2 packs available here.

AUTUMN MOVEMENT ACTIVITY CHALLENGE CARDS
Have great fun with your children whilst all acting out Autumn sights with this set of 8 Autumn Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! For those children who are exceptionally engaged, these cards explored in sequence could even be set to music as a dance performance! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

SIGNS OF AUTUMN POSTERS
‘Signs of Autumn’ cards. Ideal for use as part of a Autumn display to visually highlight the changes that happen following Summer. Cards can also be used as a great stimulus for communication and language.
When used as part of a display or offered as part of an invitation to play children may initiate communication to you or other children about the cards in a child led fashion. Alternatively, adult led interaction could include closed or open ended questioning. Younger children may point to familiar objects when prompted e.g. ‘Where’s the squirrel?’ and learn new words as you describe to them what is in the picture. As children progress, more ground may be covered such as ‘What colours can you see?’, ‘How many leaves are there in this picture?’, ‘Which is your favourite card?’, ‘Why do you like this picture the best?’, ‘What do you think trees will look like in the Winter?’, ‘Have you seen any of these signs of Autumn?’, ‘Where?’, ‘When?’, ‘Who were you with?’, ‘Shall we go outside and see which of them we can find?’ You may like to use our ‘Autumn Checklists’ as an activity prompt for searching outside.

AUTUMN PICTURE SNAP CARDS
Consolidate children’s knowledge of Autumn sights whilst playing a fun game of ‘snap’ (or a memory game of ‘picking up pairs’ if you only print 2 of each card) with this set of large snap cards. The cards are made with a tab which can be folded before lamination in order to strengthen the final product. This also means that when turned over, the picture on the front can not be seen.

How many acorns does your squirrel need to store away for Winter? Fun number recognition and counting activity combined with a little messy play!

(E.g. scrunched up pieces of tissue paper, crepe paper/card/coloured paper cut to the right shape, or simply draw little hats once the prints are dry.)

Ideal as part of an 'Autumn' topic. These Autumn themed Snap cards (1-10) can be printed, cut out and laminated to consolidate children's recognition of numbers and Autumn themed objects! Also why not use them to create addition and/or subtraction number sentences?...E.g. place the cards on the floor '4 (bats)' + '1 (fox)' = how many objects all together? (Children can use 1:1 correspondence counting to physically count all of the objects.) For a more robust design, try backing them on card. (Word cards available to help with children's subject knowledge).

AUTUMN 'WHAT CAN YOU SEE?' POSTER
Display this poster in your setting to encourage children to look closely and pay attention to details. Whilst children will benefit from looking at this poster independently, you may choose to ask them open and closed questions about what they can see, how many, the colours, if they were there, what they might be able to hear, feel, smell, etc. Adaptable for all ages, including those very young to begin to categorise and label the world around them developing understanding before speech. In addition as challenges, older children may like to create their own maths problems, write their own word cards for the picture or even make up their own stories based on it (oral, drawings or written). Look out for more 'What can you see?' pictures.
