Mastery Weekly interactive Mathematics Powerpoints – Reception, counting, number recognition, double

I created these because I had no resources and they turned out to be amazing! They proved so successful with the children and the two other Reception teachers; I continued to produce them for the rest of the year. Worksheets, matching games etc. are included.

I use each presentation at least 3 if not 4 times a week prior to Maths session. The children are chosen to come to the whiteboard for most of the PowerPoint pages e.g. to pop the bubbles whilst counting down from 10, which they love (better listening skills on the carpet).

The PowerPoints start from scratch. Unfortunately, the difference between the highest achiever and lowest at Reception can be enormous and my philosophy is ‘no one left behind’. They change pace quickly and certain aspects such as the ‘doubling bunny’ rely on repetition and learning ‘the action’ (children physically perform it) so that they can say the answers before tackling the maths later on in the year.

Each lesson begins with:

1. Shape discussion (click the shape to make it dance),
2. Counting upwards (from the number of the week),
3. Counting from 10 to zero (clicking on the images so that they disappear one by one).

Different concepts are then added each time.

I have created these PowerPoints to satisfy:
• Maths mastery,
• Little Big Maths,
• The Welsh foundation phase curriculum (it also satisfies the English eyfs curriculum),
• Individual profiles (Reception),
• It introduces the part part whole aspect of Singapore Maths and also the bar method,
• It also utilises ideas from the White Rose Maths.

Week one is free so that you can see how this works in your class. The rest are in half termly packs.
