Curriculum

The EYFS is made up of six areas of learning and development. All areas of learning and development are connected to one another and are equally important. All areas of learning and development are underpinned by the principles of the EYFS.

The areas of Learning and Development are:

Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy

This is made up of the following aspects:

Numbers as Labels and for Counting: This is about how children gradually know and use numbers, and counting in play, and eventually recognise and use numbers reliably, to develop mathematical ideas and to solve problems.

Calculating: This is about how children develop an awareness of the relationship between numbers and amounts, and know that numbers can be combined to be 'added together', can be separated by 'taking away' and that two or more amounts can be compared.

Shape, Space and Measures: This is about how through talking about shapes and quantities, and developing appropriate vocabulary, children use their knowledge to develop ideas and to solve mathematical problems.
