Our nursery maths blocks are designed for the EYFS, giving teachers and practitioners a clear progression through early number, shape, space and measure. The 24 blocks cover the full year and include hands-on activities, planning and differentiated resources that build firm foundations in number sense, subitising, pattern and spatial reasoning.
Each block can be started at any point in the year, so you can match the progression to each child’s developmental stage. Every block is planned over two weeks, with around three lessons per week, making it easy to fit into your nursery timetable alongside continuous provision. We recommend following the blocks in sequence to ensure full coverage of the EYFS early learning goals.
