Mastering Number in EYFS and KS1

The NECTM Mastering Number aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future.

In Larch Class each year group follows a programme consisting of four 10 minute sessions each week (outside of the timetabled maths lesson) and is aimed at developing children’s fluency and flexibility with number. New resources are used, including rekenreks, which are necessary to deliver the sessions.
