Maths Week Nursery Resource Pack: Dates to Remember

Everything you need for Maths Week in Nursery, in one download! This hands-on pack follows the Maths on the Move theme across five days, and is designed for 3 and 4-year-olds. There are no worksheets: children learn by moving, talking, playing in tuff trays, cutting and using playdough. Each day has its own focus: counting moves, shapes, more or fewer, over, under and through, and patterns. Every activity links to Development Matters (3 and 4-year-olds), with key words to model and support and extension ideas. What's inside 1. Teaching Slides: Picture-led slides for each day of the week, with a warm-up, the activity steps, a “Can you do it?” challenge and a reflect and review slide. Pictures show the real maths, such as groups of bean bags to compare and shape characters to name. 2. Teacher Guide and Week Plan: The whole week at a glance, plus a page for each day with the Development Matters focus, equipment, steps, support and extend ideas and a wet weather alternative. 3. Tuff Tray Ideas: Five tuff tray set-ups, from a number hunt in the sand to a bean bag throw, each with laminate-ready printables on the next page. 4. Movement and Number Cards: Big picture cards for jump, hop, clap, stamp, spin and throw, plus number cards 1 to 5 with dots and a “go!” card. 5. Cutting Skills: Snipping strips and straight, wavy, zigzag and curvy lines, in portrait and landscape versions. 6. Playdough Mats: Mats for making 5 balls, making a circle, a square and a triangle, rolling long and short snakes, and making 3 balls. Hands-on activities, no worksheets and Development Matters links throughout.
