Maths
Throughout the year the children work from the Development Matters. They are aiming to achieve the Early Learning Goals by the end of the Summer Term.
Children in Reception will be learning to:
Number
- Count objects, actions and sounds.
- Subitise.
- Link the number symbol (numeral) with it's cardinal number value.
- Count beyond 10.
- Compare numbers.
- Understand the one more than / one less than relationship between consecutive numbers.
- Explore the composition of numbers to 10.
- Automatically recall number bonds for numbers 0-5 and some to 10.
Numerical Patterns
- Select, rotate and manipulate shapes to develop spatial reasoning skills.
- Compose and decompose shapes so that children recognise a shape can have other shapes within it, just as numbers can.
- Continue, copy and create repeating patterns.
- Compare length, weight and capacity.
Early Learning Goals:
Number
- Have a deep understanding of numbers to 10, including the composition of each number.
- Subitise (recognise quantities without counting ) up to 5.
- Automatically recall (without reference to rhymes, counting or other aids) number bonds up to 5 (including subtraction facts) and some number bonds to 10, including double facts.
Numerical Patterns
- Verbally count beyond 20, recognising the pattern of the counting system.
- Compare quantities up to 10 in different contexts, recognising when one quantity is greater than, less than or the same as the other quantity.
- Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and odds, double facts and how quantities can be distributed equally.
