Exploring First Patterns Nursery Maths Lesson Pack
Support early pattern awareness with this exploring first patterns nursery maths lesson pack, part of our White Rose aligned Spring Term maths scheme for EYFS. Pupils begin to notice, copy and continue simple repeating patterns through movement, songs, natural materials and small-world play.
Each block is designed to be taught over two weeks, averaging three lessons per week to ensure broad coverage across the year. That said, we know every setting works differently – feel free to adapt as needed. We do recommend following the lessons in sequence.
