What is taught in Reception in the summer term?

In the summer term of the White Rose Maths scheme for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), several key mathematical concepts are typically covered. These may include:

1. **Number and Counting**: Further exploration of numbers up to 20 and beyond, including counting, recognising numerals, and understanding the concepts of more than and less than.

2. **Measurement**: Introducing basic concepts of measurement, such as comparing lengths, heights, weights, and capacities using everyday objects.

3. **Shape and Space**: Exploring 2D and 3D shapes, their properties, and how they can be manipulated and combined.

4. **Patterns and Sequences**: Recognising, creating, and extending patterns and sequences using objects, shapes, and numbers.

5. **Problem-solving and Reasoning**: Engaging in mathematical problem-solving activities that encourage critical thinking and reasoning skills, often through practical and hands-on experiences.

6. **Mathematical Language**: Developing mathematical language and vocabulary through discussions, stories, and activities related to everyday experiences and contexts.

7. **Outdoor Learning**: Taking learning outdoors to explore mathematical concepts in the natural environment, such as counting natural objects, measuring distances, and exploring shapes in the surroundings.

The specific content and activities may vary depending on the school’s curriculum, the needs of the children, and the resources available. However, these general areas are typically covered to support children’s mathematical development in the EYFS during the summer term.
