This comprehensive maths mastery planning for Reception will give your pupils lots of hands-on experience of breaking down and combining numbers to 10 in a range of contexts. Updated for the September 2021 EYFS Statutory Framework and revised Development Matters (non-statutory) curriculum guidance. Children will develop a deeper understanding of numbers to 10 as they explore the composition of these numbers, building a solid understanding of the concepts that underpin addition and subtraction as they get older. Planning is provided for the Spring term of Reception for 3 weeks, including daily inputs, adult-led focus activities each week and wide range of engaging, independent activities that allow children to make choices with their own learning.
