The resources have been grouped together to try and help when you are looking for something specific.
If, when you see or use any of them, you are inspired to create something similar for a certain purpose, please do let the numeracy team know.
If your pupils generate resource ideas, loop games for example, again, we'd love to hear from you. Pupils' work will be acknowledged: they will see their names and schools appear on this site with their resources.
