Early maths is taught through games, songs, and exploration. In Nursery we concentrate on the language of maths through child initiated play, simple challenges, questioning and stories. In addition, we deliver a daily maths session to consolidate and extend learning concepts.

In Reception, we build on the children’s early experiences through a mastery approach to maths, which encourages children to use manipulative resources, like cubes and counters, to solve a range of problems. We ensure that children are fluent with counting, ordering, adding and subtracting, doubling, halving and sharing. Children explore 2D and 3D shapes, measuring equipment and start to use the language for a range of mathematical concepts like time and money. We also challenge children to use their reasoning and problem-solving skills.
