Reception maths Autumn term resources – EYFS maths scheme

Support early maths understanding in Reception with our EYFS maths Autumn term scheme of work. Aligned with the White Rose progression and mapped to the EYFS framework, these resources cover key number and shape concepts through engaging, age-appropriate activities.

With strong foundations as the focus, each block builds pupils’ core knowledge, vocabulary and early number sense through practical tasks, purposeful talk and hands-on exploration. Each pack includes lesson plans, interactive slides and activities to help pupils explore number, pattern, shape, space and measure.

More about EYFS maths in the Autumn term

The EYFS maths curriculum encourages pupils to explore number, shape, space and measures through practical, engaging experiences. In our Autumn term Reception scheme, each block focuses on a specific area of early mathematical development, with learning organised in small steps and plenty of opportunities to revisit and practise key ideas.

Across the term, pupils will develop skills in:

  • Matching, sorting and comparing quantities
  • Using mathematical language such as more, fewer, biggest and same
  • Recognising and using numbers 1 to 5
  • Creating and continuing patterns
  • Exploring simple 2D shapes, including circles, triangles and four-sided shapes

Every resource is designed to be practical, purposeful and easy to use in Reception settings. Teachers and practitioners can use them flexibly as part of whole-class teaching, small group work or continuous provision.
