Mastery in Number

'Mastery in Number' happens throughout the week in Reception. This includes several short carpet sessions followed by group activities, as well as a recorded piece in our maths journals, to show what we have learnt. Children can practise and consolidate their skills through child-led continuous provision activities throughout the week.

You can help your child at home with their maths with simple practical activities throughout the day, that involve counting, recognising numbers or shapes and problem solving. This could include things such as counting steps, recognising numbers or shapes when at home or outside, setting the table with the correct number of items or sharing out toys or food fairly.
