Reception Maths: Composition of Number: 6 Week Planning & Resource Pack
A complete six-week Reception maths pack designed to develop children’s understanding of composition of number through practical, hands-on experiences.
The sequence moves beyond simply recognising and counting numbers, helping children to explore how numbers are made, how quantities can be compared and changed, and how the same number can be represented in different ways.
Each week includes clear teaching inputs alongside practical opportunities using manipulatives, carefully planned provision ideas and adult prompts to support mathematical talk and reasoning.
Included in the pack:
6 weeks of detailed Monday–Thursday maths planning
Weekly practical maths activities and teaching ideas
A purposeful maths book outcome each week
Continuous provision ideas linked to each week's learning
Adult prompts and key mathematical vocabulary
“What might I notice?” progression to support assessment
Common misconceptions to look out for
Supporting weekly resources and challenge cards
Number representation and matching resources
The six-week sequence explores counting and comparing, parts and wholes, composition, one more and one less, representing number, and consolidation/application, giving children plenty of opportunities to make, manipulate, notice, explain and reason.
Ideal for Reception teachers looking for a clear, manageable maths sequence that keeps learning practical and play-based while building secure mathematical understanding.
