What Will My Child Explore?

For young children, maths is something to be explored, not memorised.

Through games, crafts, outdoor adventures and practical play, your child will count, compare, sort, measure, build, investigate and solve problems while developing a deeper understanding of early mathematical concepts. Together, the 30 activities explore the key areas of Reception maths, giving your child varied opportunities to practise and deepen their understanding throughout the year.

Activities include opportunities to explore:

• Counting and recognising numbers
• Addition and subtraction
• Patterns
• Shape, space and measure
• Problem-solving and mathematical reasoning

Rather than focusing on worksheets or memorising facts, every activity encourages children to experiment, explain their thinking and discover different ways to solve problems. The focus is on helping children make sense of maths through play.

More Than Just Maths Activities

This bundle is designed to support you as you help your child explore early maths through play. It doesn't just tell you what to do - it helps you understand why the activities matter.

The included Parent's Guide to Early Maths explains how young children develop mathematical understanding and shares simple ways to encourage mathematical thinking through everyday play.

Every activity includes:

✔ Clear, step-by-step instructions

✔ A simple list of suggested resources

✔ An explanation of the maths being explored

✔ Conversation prompts to encourage mathematical thinking

✔ Practical guidance to support your child

✔ Extension ideas for children ready for an extra challenge

You don't need to be a teacher or a maths expert. With the Parent's Guide and the guidance included throughout, you'll feel confident supporting your child's learning while enjoying meaningful time together.

Why Learn Through Play?

For young children, maths is everywhere. It's found in building towers, spotting patterns, comparing quantities, measuring ingredients, sharing snacks, hunting for shapes and talking about what they notice.

By exploring these everyday experiences, children begin to make sense of maths in ways that feel natural to them. They can see it, touch it, move it, talk about it and begin to understand how mathematical ideas work.

Play gives children the time to investigate, solve problems and build understanding at their own pace, helping them develop the strong mathematical foundations they'll use throughout school.

Created for Real Family Life

Life is busy, so the activities use simple, everyday materials that you probably already have at home, require very little preparation and fit naturally into family routines.

There's no pressure to follow rigid lesson plans or complete activities in a particular order. Simply follow your child's interests and enjoy learning together.

Young children benefit from revisiting mathematical ideas, which is why the activities are designed to be enjoyed again and again throughout the year. Each time they return to an activity, they'll notice new ideas, deepen their understanding and develop greater confidence in their mathematical thinking.

Supporting Reception Maths

The activities are carefully designed to support the key mathematical concepts taught during Reception within the EYFS Statutory Framework for England.

But they do more than simply introduce early maths concepts.

By encouraging children to explore, discuss and make sense of maths, these activities help develop genuine understanding, not just early recall skills. As they play, they'll begin to explain their thinking, solve problems, make connections between ideas and apply their mathematical understanding with growing confidence.
