Mathematics
This involves providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems; and to describe shapes, spaces, and measures.
We have lots of fun equipment to use in Early Years. Here are some photos of us using some of the different types for our Maths lessons.

Repeating Patterns
Pattern is fundamental to mathematics. A key idea is that a mathematical pattern is usually not just an arrangement, but involves a rule or mathematical relationship. Exploring pattern develops a sense of regularity and order, which children need to understand and recognise mathematical rules, solve mathematical problems and make generalisations.
