Mathematics

Aspects of mathematics includes: Number and Numerical Patterns

During regular adult-led mathematics sessions, children work in small groups and as a whole class.  Practical sessions provide opportunities for active learning.  Provision for enhanced learning is accessible during child-initiated sessions. 

Adult led activities, practical sessions and continuous provision enable children to develop skills to begin to:

  • Have a deep understanding of number to 10, including the composition of each number.
  • Subitise (recognise quantities without counting) up to 5.
  • Automatically recall (without reference to rhymes, counting or other aids) number bonds up to 5 (including subtraction facts) and some number bonds to 10, including double facts.
  • Verbally count beyond 20, recognise the pattern of the counting system.
  • Compare quantities up to 10 in different contexts, recognising when one quantity is greater than, less than or the same as the other quantity.
  • Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and odds, double facts and how quantities can be distributed equally.
