12 weeks of Maths planning for the Autumn Term in Reception. The plans are based on White Rose and Numberblocks approaches and are fully editable, featuring assessment points from Development Matters and continuous provision opportunities. We focus mainly on number recognition to 10 in the Autumn term, as well as comparing length and introducing 2D shapes. The planning features 60 separate Maths sessions, and as such can easily be continued into the Spring term for settings that prefer a different pace or who may choose to repeat sessions for further consolidation. Resources that I use alongside this planning are also available for purchase in my store. Spring Term planning is now available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/white-rose-numberblocks-maths-planning-spring-term-eyfs-12196549

A Powerpoint presentation that comprises ten different scenes - each with the numbers 1-10 hidden within them. This has proved really successful within my Early Years setting to develop and secure numeral recognition. We often use it as a Maths Starter activity and it has engaged pupils very well. Some scenes are more challenging than others, though it consistently surprises me how much better children are at spotting the numbers than adults! There are lots of different ways of using this resource to ensure appropriate pitch and challenge: We write the numbers 1-10 on our class board and tick them off as we find them in the pictures. Ensuring that we search for the numbers in order has really helped to secure number sense. We ask children to describe where the numbers are, supporting them to use positional language and to develop their speaking and listening skills, e.g. “The number 10 is next to/on top of/underneath the table”. Children can write the numbers on their own whiteboards and work on the activity individually - this way they also get practice of writing the numerals. We provide a checklist for children to tick them off themselves as we search for the numbers together as a whole class, supporting children to ‘match’ the numbers as we develop early number sense. We have often found that children are inspired to go and create their own ‘number hunt’ pictures independently after our Maths sessions, which then provides lots of evidence for our Learning Journeys and ensures that learning is embedded. A 1-20 Number Hunt activity is also available for purchase in my store.

A4 posters for the numbers 1-10. Each poster features the numeral, corresponding fingers and a clear visual array to represent the number.

A selection of resources to use alongside EYFS Maths Planning (White Rose/Numberblocks approaches). Features: *Number flashcards to 10 *Numicon flashcards to 10 *Picture cards with objects to 10 *Template for Numberblocks 1-3 *Ladybird templates *2D Shape Hunt template *Bar Chart templates - favourite sport/animal/blank The planning we use alongside this (Autumn Term) is also available for purchase in my store: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/eyfs-maths-planning-white-rose-numberblocks-based-12-weeks-12185707

A selection of 8 different worksheets, designed to consolidate children’s understanding of partitioning and adding numbers, using the part-whole models as recommended by White Rose Maths. 4 worksheets focus on splitting the wholes into parts; 4 worksheets focus on adding parts to find the whole. The worksheets use numerals, Numicon shapes, dot patterns and cubes to support children to use a range of resources. Supports adding and partitioning numbers to 10.

‘Number of the Week’ posters 1-10. Each poster is on its own A4 page and features a representation of the number in three different ways - on fingers, as Numicon number shapes and as objects - as well as 1 more and 1 less than that number displayed in the same way. There is also a blank poster for children to complete themselves in continuous provision or as a home learning task. Ideal for use alongside White Rose or Maths Mastery approaches to planning, who suggest learning one number a week to secure and consolidate number sense.

A selection of 10 different high quality photographs representing the season of Spring. We laminate these, cut them up and challenge children to complete the puzzles as an independent activity. It’s a great way of assessing number recognition and ordering and sequencing numerals to 10, with use of maths for a purpose.

A full Powerpoint presentation all about the number 1, delivered in rhyme. Children have the opportunity to: Recognise the numeral in different real-life contexts. Understand the ‘one-ness’ of one - what does it mean? Interact with the resource, e.g. Put 1 flower in 1 pot. Designed to engage young learners through story and rhyme, supporting them to become secure in the basics of mathematics. Consistent with Maths Mastery and White Rose schemes of learning.

Five separate Powerpoint presentations for the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, delivered in rhyme. Children have the opportunity to: Recognise the numerals in different real-life contexts. Understand the ‘one-ness’ of one; the ‘two-ness’ of two - what do they mean? Interact with the resources, e.g. Put 5 socks on the washing line. Designed to engage young learners through story and rhyme, supporting them to become secure in the basics of mathematics. Consistent with Maths Mastery and White Rose schemes of learning.

A selection of Maths resources for use alongside my Summer Term Maths Planning. Includes: Numeral cards to 20 Representation posters for the numbers 10-20 Number tracks to 10 Number tracks to 20 Blank number line templates to 20 Repeating Patterns for comparison Animal pictures for repeating patterns 2D shapes for halving game Part-whole templates (small/large) Ladybird templates for doubling ‘Doubling machine’ poster ‘5 Little Speckled Frogs’ resources Summer Term planning (12 weeks) is also available for purchase in my store.
