Alongside the teaching of core mathematical concepts, each numeracy session contains fun and purposeful activities, which encourage the children to become confident with numbers, shapes, space and measures. During the sessions, appropriate language is used so that children can build up mathematical vocabulary, complete calculations and begin to record down their mathematical ideas.

Numeracy sessions in Years One and Two build on the early mathematical concepts learned in the Foundation Stage. Each session begins with an oral mental starter, develops to a numeracy concept using extensive mathematical vocabulary and then concludes with a fun, creative plenary.

Numeracy games are an important part of children becoming confident with numbers. Therefore, designated time is allocated each week both in and out of the numeracy sessions for mathematical games to be played and enjoyed.

The Pre-Prep staff understand that children learn and develop at different rates. Therefore, differentiated numeracy activities are planned which encourage all children to succeed at their own pace.

Every year, Pre-Prep runs a Maths Day where the children enjoy working together to explore exciting mathematical challenges.
