EYFS
ELG: Number
Children at the expected level of development will:
- Have a deep understanding of number to 10, including the composition of each number; 14
- Subitise (recognise quantities without counting) up to 5;
- Automatically recall (without reference to rhymes, counting or other aids )number bonds up to 5 (including subtraction facts) and some number bonds to 10, including double facts.
ELG: Numerical Patterns
Children at the expected level of development will:
- Verbally count beyond 20, recognising the pattern of the counting system;
- Compare quantities up to 10 in different contexts, recognising when one quantity is greater than, less than or the same as the other quantity;
- Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and odds, double facts and how quantities can be distributed equally.

Teaching and Learning in Maths - 7 Big Ideas in EYFS Mathematics Teaching and learning is based around 7 key elements. It is taught following all the principles of early years education and challenge is provided by going deeper rather than accelerating into new mathematical content. |
The stages of learning are based upon the mastery approach of teaching children mathematical concepts through concrete, pictorial and abstract (CPA) methods.
Concrete – children should have the opportunity to use concrete objects and manipulatives to help them understand what they are doing.
Pictorial – children should then build on this concrete approach by using pictorial representations. These representations can then be used to reason and solve problems.
Abstract – with the foundations firmly laid, children should be able to move to an abstract approach using numbers and key concepts with confidence.
