activities and detailed reception maths plans focus on
developing reasoning and problem-solving, which helps
to ensure that your reception children gain mastery of
these early concepts. Alongside EYFS planning for both
whole class and small group activities, there are home
learning challenges, maths challenges for continuous
provision, five minute filler PowerPoints and a detailed
skills progression for each concept. With this range of
