Maths

Within the Early Years Foundation Stage, the children explore two areas of mathematics: 

Number

and

Space, Shape and Measure

 

Early Learning Goal

 

Number

By the end of the year the children to count reliably from one to 20, place numbers 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.

 

Shape, Space and Measure

Children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes using mathematical language to describe them.

 

Spring Term

This term, we are focusing on one more and one less than a number to 10, and playing with numbers, using addition and subtraction to practically solve problems.

How you can support you child's learning at home

Look for numbers on doors on your walk to school.

Count the snack money to give to the teacher.

Make a tower out of lego and count the blocks. Can they add some more or take some away.

Can they find different shapes inside or outside the house e.g. a plate, the window or the door. Can they count the sides and corners?

 

Here are some song to sing at home to practice your counting and shapes!
