A three-page early-counting activity. Children count sets of friendly pictures, draw a line to the matching numeral, and trace the number. Designed to be shared with an adult — there are no written instructions for the child to read.
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 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 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.
