Taking and Giving 1, 2, 3 Nursery Maths Lesson Pack
Help nursery pupils practise careful counting and early comparison with this taking and giving 1, 2, 3 nursery maths lesson pack, part of our Spring Term White Rose aligned scheme. Through playful activities like delivering letters, sorting snack items and mixing up magic potions, children explore one-to-one correspondence and counting with purpose.
Each block is designed to be taught over two weeks, averaging three lessons a week to ensure coverage across the year. However, we know every setting is unique – you may choose to teach more one week and less the next. We do recommend teaching the lessons in sequence where possible.
What’s included in this lesson pack?
- 6 fully planned nursery maths lessons with clear teaching notes
- Interactive slides to model and guide learning
- Continuous provision ideas linked to each session
- Vocabulary prompts, stem sentences and key questions
Learning focus
