Part 5 of the Early Years Compass series, by a former UK nursery manager (14 years, SENCO & DSL). Early maths isn’t counting to 100 — it’s depth, and this guide shows your team what depth looks like at every age. Inside the 8-page guide: the two strands and the mastery principle explained simply · a development map from spatial explorer to mathematician across five age bands · subitising, cardinality, composition and part-part-whole — demystified with practical provision · when to look closer — professional prompts for early identification · weak vs. strong observation examples (what children DO with quantity, not what they recite) · a Next Steps bank by age band · what inspectors’ maths questions really assess. Plus 2 printable A4 posters: “Maths at a glance” and “What does it mean to really know 5?” — the mastery poster for your staff room. Part 5 of 7.
