This practical and comprehensive EYFS unit of work for the autumn term focuses on the use of everyday language to talk about size, weight and capacity to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems.
Updated for the September 2021 EYFS Statutory Framework and revised Development Matters (non-statutory) curriculum guidance.
Through hands-on, exploratory play, Early Years children are given rich opportunities to help them recognise the attributes of measure and spatial reasoning. A wide range of activities help them move their language on from ‘bigger’ and ‘smaller’ to more specific vocabulary, e.g. taller, wider, lighter, etc. Opportunities are planned to develop their understanding of measure from direct comparison, to indirect comparison and then beginning to understand the use of units to compare items.
If you are following the Early Maths Mastery long term plan, this is Unit 4 and falls in Weeks 10 and 11 of the Autumn term.
The planned inputs and focus activities should be delivered to mixed ability groups so that all children are exposed to the same rich language and ideas.
Included in this download are:
- A detailed planning document
- A suggested long-term maths mastery plan
- A printed resources file to support the planning
- Key ideas and common misconceptions
- A focus activity for each week
