NCETM Mastering Number
In school this year Reception and Key Stage 1 are following the NCETM Mastering Number programme. The Reception programme promotes a 'hands on' approach to maths, using various types of equipment that the children can manipulate, in order to be able 'to see' the maths they are exploring. This programme also promotes the idea of 'digging deeper' into mathematical concepts and promoting number sense.
The NCETM Mastering Number programme uses some 'Number Blocks' videos to explain ideas and mathematical thinking. This link will take you to various 'Number Blocks' videos on YouTube.
Click on the document below to see a selection of books we recommend for Reception age children. The list includes books that we have enjoyed sharing with children and books that we know children of this age enjoy!
If you do not have any of these books at home you will most likely be able to find it being read aloud online.
