L9 – WWW – Reception Numerals

Help your EYFS pupils make vital number connections with this interactive Maths Resource Pack, focusing on linking numerals to cardinal number values. Designed for Reception learners, this pack develops the essential skill of matching written numerals to quantities of objects, building firm foundations for number recognition and counting. With engaging starters such as “Who found this number? Can you show me 7 fingers?” pupils practise recognising numerals and representing them in different ways. Teaching slides guide children through counting activities like “What number is this? Can you count out 6 bears?” ensuring they connect the symbol to the actual number of items. Independent activities encourage children to explore numbers in practical, hands-on ways, including pegging numbers on a washing line, filling numbered baskets with the right amount of objects, parking cars in the correct space, and building towers to match numeral cards. A plenary recap allows pupils to show numbers on their fingers, consolidating learning in an active and memorable way.
