EYFS Activities

We know how crucial building blocks are to children’s later success in mathematics. All these resources link to the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.

Each of them has:

• suggestions of rich contexts for exploring mathematical ideas and developing mathematical skills and concepts
• details of linked mathematics learning goals
• descriptions of the mathematical journey that the learners may take through the task
• suggestions for prompts and questions to elicit mathematical responses from the children.

Each resource starts with an activity that children enjoy and suggests how, as adults, we might work with the children to maximize its mathematical potential.

In addition to the mathematical opportunities we offer, you may like to make your own, rich connections to other learning goals from other areas of learning that these resources can facilitate.
