Mathematics and Numeracy

The following page provides information on the coverage of skills taught within mathematics and numeracy for the Autumn term. These are: 

 

Place Value
  • Counting forwards and backwards to 10 and moving on to if ready 20.
  •  One to one correspondence to 10
  •  Counting items in a set.
  • Match items to its number e.g. dot cards
  • Make marks attributing meaning to them and/or write numerals in a variety of media up to 10.
  • Count along a number track 1-10
Shape

• Begin to recognise circles, triangles, rectangles including squares.
• Use appropriate language to describe simple 2D shapes
• Match shapes and names
• Investigate properties of shapes through play
• Describe position of shapes e.g. in, on , under, over, beside, between, infront of,
around, through, and behind.

  • recognise and name common 2-D shapes [for example, rectangles (including squares), circles and triangles]
  • recognise and name common 3-D shapes [for example, cuboids (including cubes),pyramids and spheres]
  • I have explored two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes and
  • sort and classify shapes using an appropriate method
Patterns and Sequences
  • Compare sizes e.g. longer/shorter, heavier/lighter, bigger/smaller.
  • Explore simple patterns (AB)
  • Copy and continue simple patterns (AB)
  • Create simple patterns (AB)
Addition and Subtraction

Number bonds to 5 and 10.

• Making pairs of numbers from 5 to 10 (Teacher modelling the abstract)
• Introduce subtractions linked to pairs of numbers and begin to understand the
connection.
• Describe what happens when a total changes
• Compare quantities
• Make sets of different objects linked with role play and stories – add and take
away items.
• Understand the concept of = and not =

Pupils are challenged every week to improve their fluency in integral number skills such as multiplication and addition facts. Here is an example of the Reception Challenge. Pupils are encouraged to use the habit 'Get it Right!' to improve their scores and time. Here is an example below:
