10 Simple Maths Games for SEN Learners — No Prep PDF Download

If maths worksheets end in tears, frustration, shutdowns, or “I hate maths”, this pack was made for that.

These are simple maths games for children who find maths hard.

Designed for children aged 5 to 11, including children with ADHD, autism, dyscalculia, maths anxiety, or SEND needs, the games are short, practical, and easy to fit into real life. They also work well for older learners who are still building confidence with foundation skills.

No prep. No special equipment. No teaching background needed.

Just simple games using things already in your home or classroom such as dice, playing cards, counters, coins, paper, and pencil.

Inside the pack you will find:

• 10 simple maths games that take around 5 to 10 minutes
• Help with number bonds, addition, subtraction, place value, comparing numbers, and early multiplication
• Adult scripts on every page for what to say when your child gets stuck
• SEN adaptations to make games feel calmer and easier
• Printable number cards (0 to 20) to use across different games
• A “Where to Start” guide so you can quickly choose the best first game
• A simple session log to help you notice progress over time

This pack is for children who:

• Avoid maths
• Get overwhelmed by bigger numbers
• Lose confidence quickly
• Count on fingers for everything
• Need learning to feel calmer and lower pressure

You do not need to get it perfect.

The aim is not perfect maths.

The aim is helping a child feel confident enough to try again tomorrow.
