A short, picture-led slide lesson an adult shares with a child. It shows numbers as quantities (dots), on fingers, and on a ten frame, building the “deep understanding of number” the EYFS Number ELG describes. Talk about each slide together rather than rushing.
A short, eight-question picture quiz on counting and comparing quantities to 10. Pitched for ages 3–5, so an adult reads each question aloud. Keeps to small numbers and clear pictures.
A 14-card deck. Cards 0–10 show the numeral on the front and the same amount as a dot pattern on the back, linking symbol to quantity. Three more cards introduce the comparing words (more, fewer, same) and one introduces doubles.
The Number Explorer Book is a five-mission Reception (EYFS) maths activity book mapped to the DfE Early Learning Goals for Number and Numerical Patterns. Children count and recognise numbers to 10, subitise small amounts, compare groups to spot more, fewer and equal, explore how numbers within 10 split into two parts, and follow simple patterns and everyday position and direction language. Every question is auto-marked on screen, or the whole book can be printed with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
A short guide for parents and carers showing how powerful everyday moments are for early maths: counting stairs, laying the table, rolling dice, sharing snacks. Maps each idea to what it builds, in plain language.
A practitioner companion mapping this pack to the EYFS Mathematics Early Learning Goals, with enabling-environment and continuous-provision ideas, the key vocabulary to model, and observation prompts to support the end-of-Reception EYFS Profile judgement.
The starter test for Addition & Subtraction. Twelve questions covering basic recall: reading + and = symbols, single-step adding and subtracting numbers to 20, and number bonds to 10. Every wrong answer shows an explanation so the child learns from each one. Takes about 5 minutes.
Aim for 70% before moving to the Main test. If a child scores below 50%, return to the worksheet and games first.
The schoolbook-depth Main test. Eighteen questions across the full breadth of the KS1 addition and subtraction programme of study: reading number sentences, fact families, number bonds to 10 and 20, two-digit calculations, missing-number problems (e.g. 8 + □ = 14), commutativity, and one-step word problems.
Designed to mirror what children meet in school-issued workbooks. Pass mark is 70%. Detailed explanations on every question — wrong answers teach.
The stretch test for confident children. Fifteen questions that push beyond schoolbook level: two-step word problems, bridging through 10 (e.g. 8 + 5 = 8 + 2 + 3), finding missing numbers in the middle of a sentence, applying addition and subtraction across measures (money, mass, length), and reasoning about what makes a calculation easier.
Pass mark is 60% — this test is harder than the Main test on purpose. Don’t worry about lower scores; this is where deep understanding shows.
An original, exam-style GCSE Maths Foundation non-calculator practice paper (Paper 1 style, mapped to AQA 8300). Branded front cover with candidate details, exam instructions, well-spaced questions with working space, and a back page. Comes with a pupil guide; the marking copy and adult guidance are available to parent and teacher accounts.
