Aims To explore connections between the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework and the new Year 1 National Curriculum To elicit key skills that children need to develop through experiences of early mathematics – linked with developing conceptual understanding To explore implications on curriculum structures in the Early Years Foundation Stage and Year 1

Linking ‘Numbers and Patterns’ / ELG11 / Year 1 National Curriculum

Key Mathematical Skills Equality OrdinalityCardinality Counting on and back from any number Subitising regular number patterns Maths Language Conservation of number Using apparatus and objects to represent and communicate thinking One-to-one correspondence

Developing Conceptual Understanding: Models and Images

Developing Conceptual Understanding: Practical Maths ‘First to 30’

Implications for Curriculum Structure in Reception Year Daily: focus group time, plus maths in everyday routines Over week: adult focused activities insideoutside On-going: continuous provision sand construction water book corner small world Consideration needed around possible learning objectives. Adult interactions are vital. register rhymes and games counting groups

Focus Group Time Possible forms of differentiation: -Adult support -Use of varied models and images -Use of varied equipment -Use of varied questioning

Developing a Learning Environment Includes physical environment and learning culture: Interactive area Maths display / visual prompts Considered opportunities for use of role-play area Considered opportunities within other ‘play-based’ activities / areas of the classroom Access to resources – promoting independence Outdoor learning Prompts for adults around classroom, e.g. key questions/language to model and use

Assessment: Good Level of Development
