Reception maths for Spring 1 — sorted.

Six weeks of carefully sequenced, practical Reception maths planning, with the teaching guidance, editable presentations, printable resources and assessment materials in one place.

Reception Maths SORTED is designed to help teachers spend less time preparing maths lessons and more time supporting children's mathematical understanding through discussion, practical exploration and purposeful play.

What will children learn?

Spring 1 builds on the mathematical foundations established in the autumn term, helping children develop confidence with number, comparison, measurement and spatial reasoning.

The six-week sequence covers:

• Week 1 — ANCHOR IT: Secure understanding of five, explore zero and investigate the parts that make five.

• Week 2 — TEST IT: Compare mass and capacity through practical investigations, using appropriate mathematical language.

• Week 3 — MAKE SIX: Explore six as five and one more, including pairs and equal groups.

• Week 4 — MAKE SEVEN: Build and represent seven, compare neighbouring numbers and investigate three pairs with one left over.

• Week 5 — MAKE EIGHT: Explore eight through different arrangements, four pairs, two groups of four and number composition.

• Week 6 — CONNECT IT: Apply mathematical understanding through problem-solving, length, height, positional language and repeating patterns.

Throughout the half-term, children also revisit counting, subitising, numeral recognition and earlier number relationships.

What's included?

Each of the six weekly packs contains:

• A detailed five-day teacher guide with mathematical explanations, teaching questions and practical activities.

• An editable PowerPoint to support whole-class and small-group teaching.

• Printable maths resources for practical activities and investigations.

• Observation and assessment materials to help identify children's understanding and possible next steps.

• Guidance for adapting activities, supporting children who need more practice and extending mathematical thinking.

The activities follow a consistent TEACH → DO → PLAY → NOTICE → NEXT approach, combining direct teaching with hands-on exploration and opportunities to apply learning through provision.

Designed for Reception teachers

The programme draws on the EYFS statutory framework, Development Matters and principles of early mathematical mastery. It encourages children to explain their thinking, recognise relationships and explore numbers in different ways, rather than simply memorising answers.

Suitable for Reception classes in England and settings following the EYFS.
