Counting
Say one number for each item in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Know that the last number reached when counting a small set of objects tells you how many there are in total ('cardinal principle') Count objects, actions and sounds ELG - Verbally count beyond 20, recognising the pattern of the counting system Counting Collections in the Early Years Counting Collections in the Early Years In this article for practitioners, Cath Gripton and Deliah Pawluch explore the 'counting collections' approach, which encourages children to spend time playing and experimenting with counting. A Tidying Tidying When tidying away toys in this activity, children will use their counting skills to check that all the toys are in the box. Number Book Number Book Creating a 'Book of Four' provides an opportunity for children to collect groups of four objects and consider how the groups of objects are similar. Counting Collections Counting Collections In this activity, children choose collections of items to count and are supported as they find ways to keep track of, and record, their counting.

Select, rotate and manipulate shapes to develop spatial reasoning skills The importance of shape and space in the early years The importance of shape and space in the early years In this article for EY practitioners, Dr Sue Gifford discusses children's early spatial thinking and how this predicts their mathematical understanding and achievement. A Can you build this? Can you build this? Children explore characteristics of shapes and use both everyday and mathematical language to describe them, talk about positions and solve problems				Describe positions on a 2D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant Coordinate Challenge Coordinate Challenge Use the clues about the symmetrical properties of these letters to place them on the grid. Eight hidden squares Eight hidden squares <p>On the graph there are 28 marked points. These points all mark the vertices (corners) of eight hidden squares. Can you find the eight hidden squares?</p>	Identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed More Transformations on a Pegboard More Transformations on a Pegboard Use the interactivity to find all the different right-angled triangles you can make by just moving one corner of the starting triangle. Transformations on a Pegboard Transformations on a Pegboard How would you move the bands on the pegboard to alter these shapes?	Describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants) Ten Hidden Squares Ten Hidden Squares <p>These points all mark the vertices (corners) of ten hidden squares. Can you find the 10 hidden squares?</p> Treasure Hunt Treasure Hunt <p>Can you find a reliable strategy for choosing coordinates that will locate the treasure in the minimum number of guesses?</p>
				Plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon A Cartesian puzzle A Cartesian puzzle <p>Find the missing coordinates which will form these eight quadrilaterals. These coordinates themselves will then form a shape with rotational and line symmetry.</p>		Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes





Pattern
Talk about and identify the patterns around them Extend and create ABAB patterns - stick, leaf, stick, leaf Notice and correct an error in a repeating pattern Continue, copy and create repeating patterns Pattern Making Pattern Making In this activity, there are lots of different patterns for children to make, describe and extend. Collecting Collecting In this task, children make a collection out of some items and then discuss what they notice about their collection, focusing on the shapes and patterns that they can make. Developing Pattern Awareness with Young Children Developing Pattern Awareness with Young Children This article explores the importance of pattern awareness with young children. A		Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences Caterpillars Caterpillars These caterpillars have 16 parts. What different shapes do they make if each part lies in the small squares of a 4 by 4 square? School fair necklaces School fair necklaces How many possible symmetrical necklaces can you find? How do you know you've found them all? Repeating Patterns Repeating Patterns Try continuing these patterns made from triangles. Can you create your own repeating pattern? Three Ball Line Up Three Ball Line Up Use the interactivity to help get a feel for this problem and to find out all the possible ways the balls could land. Break it up! Break it up! <p>In how many different ways can you break up a stick of seven interlocking cubes? Now try with a stick of eight cubes and a stick of six cubes. What do you notice?</p> Cube bricks and daisy chains Cube bricks and daisy chains <p>Daisy and Akram were making number patterns. Daisy was using beads that looked like flowers and Akram was using cube bricks. First they were counting in twos.</p> Triple Cubes Triple Cubes <p>This challenge involves eight three-cube models made from interlocking cubes. Investigate different ways of putting the models together then compare your constructions.</p> Poly Plug Pattern Poly Plug Pattern <p>Create a pattern on the small grid. How could you extend your pattern on the larger grid?</p> Domino Patterns Domino Patterns <p>What patterns can you make with a set of dominoes?</p> Circles, Circles Circles, Circles <p>Here are some arrangements of circles. How many circles would I need to make the next size up for each? Can you create your own arrangement and investigate the number of circles it needs?</p> A City of Towers A City of Towers <p>In this town, houses are built with one room for each person. There are some families of seven people living in the town. In how many different ways can they build their houses?</p> Hundred Square Hundred Square <p>A hundred square has been printed on both sides of a piece of paper. What is on the back of 100? 58? 23? 19?</p>					Patterns and Sequences
