Let’s begin by looking at what is expected by the end of the Reception year – that’s children aged between 4 and 5 years old. This is sometimes called the Foundation Stage. Yes, even our 5 year olds have targets to reach!
I will go through each of the strands in turn, but as you go through them it will become clear that the most important thing of all is to talk with your children and use the vocabulary of simple maths to help them describe the world around them.

Counting and understanding number:

·    Children should be able to say and use number names up to 10. A good example of this would be to join in nursery rhymes or songs such as

The content of this site follows the expectations laid down by the National Curriculum, in particular the Primary Framework for Mathematics. The Primary Framework sets out yearly teaching programmes from Reception through to Year 6. Part of these teaching programmes is a set of key objectives – in other words, key things which teachers should concentrate on during each particular year.

This article will try and guide you, in layman’s terms, through the key objectives for the first year and give examples of the kind of maths that is meant by them. In this way you should be able to have a better understanding of what your child is (probably) being taught in school and what the Primary Framework says that they ought to be able to do.

The Early Years or The Foundation Stage in English Education is considered to be from the age of 3 to 5. (Not to be confused with Foundation GCSE exams at 16!) This covers the years when a child might go to a nursery through to the end of the reception class in a Primary School.

The Government has made funds available for all children to have a free, part time, ‘early years’ education. By 2010 this will be 15 hours a week. The aim is to give all children the very best start to their educational life. This education does not have to be in a school: play groups, nurseries, accredited childminders and children’s centres are just some of the ways this Early Years education can take place. Of course, there is no compulsion to send your child to a nursery, playgroup etc: some of the best education takes place at home!
