“The first few years of a child’s life are especially important for mathematics development. Research shows that early mathematical knowledge predicts later reading ability and general education and social progress(ii). Conversely, children who start behind in mathematics tend to stay behind throughout their whole educational journey(iii).”

Our approach to Early maths is informed by:
Improving Mathematics in the Early Years and Key Stage 1 Guidance Support (EEF)

At Waddington All Saints Academy, mathematics is woven throughout our Reception curriculum to help children develop a deep understanding of number, pattern, shape, measure and problem-solving.
Through a combination ofdirect teaching, daily routines and purposeful play, children are encouraged to explore mathematical concepts in meaningful and engaging ways. Click on the Maths Policy link below to read on our approach to maths.
