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.
