Maths Basic Skills

In Reception, maths skills are separated into two areas; Number and Numerical Patterns. We focus on building a solid understanding of number and counting and understanding the composition of each number to 10. This then helps support the other areas of Early Years maths, including number bonds to 5 and 10, odd and even numbers, double facts, numbers that are greater than and less than and subitising numbers to 5.
