Save hours of preparation with this comprehensive seven-week Reception maths unit exploring numbers 0–10.

This substantial resource includes detailed weekly planning, daily teaching inputs, adult-led focus activities, continuous provision enhancements, printable resources, ready-to-use PowerPoints, key questions, common misconceptions, assessment opportunities and clear progression - all aligned to the EYFS Statutory Framework for England and Development Matters.

Created by an experienced primary leader and curriculum designer, these carefully researched plans provide far more than a sequence of number activities. Children revisit numbers in varied contexts and representations, developing secure counting, subitising, cardinality, numeral recognition and flexible mathematical thinking through a mastery approach.

Each week combines focused adult teaching with purposeful opportunities to explore and apply learning through play. Practical Keep Up suggestions support children who need additional help, while Going Deeper challenges and mastery-style questions responsively extend children who are ready to reason and make connections.

• A detailed 21-page planning document
• Seven weeks of progressive teaching for numbers 0–10
• Planned daily whole-class inputs

The guidance helps teachers and teaching assistants understand not only what children are learning but also what to notice, which misconceptions may arise and how to respond with well-timed questions and prompts.

Designed primarily for Reception, many activities can also be adapted for nursery children, mixed-age EYFS classes or pupils who need additional opportunities to secure early number understanding.
