Mathematics
Developing a strong grounding in number is essential so that all children develop the necessary building blocks to excel mathematically.
Children should be able to count confidently, develop a deep understanding of numbers to 10, the relationship between them and patterns within those numbers. They should be encouraged to compare quantities, use positional language and describe a sequence of events using words such as "first', 'then...'
In addition it is important that children develop their spatial reasoning skills across all areas of shape, space and measures.
