Maths in Reception and Year 1

In Reception and Year 1, children have daily maths lessons using White Rose Maths. We keep learning as practical and hands-on as possible, using objects, games and real-life examples to help children understand new ideas.

Children also take part in Mastering Number sessions, which help them build confidence with numbers and develop quick recall of important number facts.

We focus on key skills such as:

• counting and recognising numbers
• comparing amounts
• understanding how numbers are made
• addition and subtraction
• shape, pattern, position and direction
•  

We also aim to use Maths.co.uk each week, giving children the chance to practise their maths in a different way while also developing their confidence using a computer.
