Early Years

The first few years of a child’s life are especially important for mathematics development. In EYFS, we aim to provide children with firm foundations in a way that is stimulating, engaging and appropriate for their age.

There are six key areas of early mathematics learning, which provide a platform for everything children will encounter as they progress through their maths learning at primary school, and beyond.
