  1. Maths in Reception

  2. The Maths Curriculum Mathematics is split into 2 further sections; Number Shape, Space and Measures

  3. The Maths Curriculum ELG 11 - Number Children count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.

  4. But what does this mean? Count forwards and backwards in 1s Count objects by saying one number name for each item Recognise numerals Order numerals Begin to count in 2s and 10s Select the correct numeral to represent a number objects Can find 1 more or 1 less than a number Know that the number of objects stays the same no matter how they are arranged Estimate how many objects they can see and check bycounting them Find the total number of items in two groups by counting all of them Find doubles of numbers Find half of a number Share objects between people Solve problems using doubling, sharing, halving, adding, subtracting

  5. The Maths Curriculum ELG 12 – Shape, Space and Measures Children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.

  6. What does this mean? Use mathematical names for ‘solid’ 3D shapes and ‘flat’ 2D shapes Use mathematical terms to describe shapes – flat, curved, edges, corners Describe position – behind, next to, in front, on top, underneath Order two or three items by length or height Order two items by weight or capacity Use familiar objects and common shapes to create patterns and build models Use everyday language related to time Begin to use everyday language related to money Order and sequence familiar events Measure short periods of time in simple ways

  7. How is it taught? Practically With purpose Through exploration

  8. Small World Put the seal at the top of the slide What is next to the tree? We need 7 people over by the water

  9. Role Play Can you set the table with 4 plates, 4 cups, 4 bowls? If one more person came, how many would we need? Labels Numbers displayed Shapes Maths talk

  10. Outside Provision

  11. What do we use? Number lines Hundred squares Counting objects Numicon

  12. Number Fluency

  13. Numbers beyond 20 Point out large numbers in the environment -seat numbers -door numbers -bus routes -raffle tickets -prices in shops -ages -calculators

  14. What can you do at home?

  15. Number Walk up the stairs counting – to make this harder you could count in 10s, 2s or start on different numbers Pair up socks, gloves or shoes and count in 2’s Look at the numbers on the front doors of a street, what is missing? Can you spot the pattern? Ask questions – how many more/less, if I added 2 on what would I get?

  16. Shape Look at different shapes in the environment and describe them Make 2D shapes from lolly pop sticks. Can they make the shapes using their bodies? Shape hunt What straight shapes can you see? It’s got 3 edges. What shape is it?

  17. Measures • Which flower is the shortest/tallest? • Can you make a snake which is longer/shorter than this one? • Which bag do you think will hold the most/least? Why? • Baking is a great way for children to begin to understand weight

  18. Problem Solving Try to make it part of everyday life • I’ve got 3 carrots, I need 3 more. How many will I have altogether? • I had 4 flowers yesterday and now I’ve got 6. How many more flowers have I got now? • If we have 10 sweets and we share them out between 2 people, how many sweets will we both have? • If we have 5 pencils, how many different ways can we put them into 2 pots?
