This set of resource materials is intended to help practitioners working with children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and teachers working with lower Key Stage 1 children, to plan their mathematics provision and help children to secure some of the key mathematical ideas that they will use throughout the rest of their lives. The materials have a strong focus on Number, particularly counting, and the children's developing understanding of the patterns that underpin early work within this aspect of mathematics. In hard copy this publication consists of loose-leaf pages (01011-2009DOM-EN) within a binder (01011-2009FLR-EN).

    I would loved not to have had to print off this document, but order it directly from you. As it is large it is less useful as a download.

    Also some colleagues do not have access to computers in their homes, and with such a weighty document it is difficult during the working day to have the amount of time necessary to read and digest the information. Practitioners working with young children often have less time to sit at a computer.

    Thank you

    Why can't we order individual copies of this publication? I would only like one copy & why can't I order one to my house - not school?

    I'd like my own copy as our Numeracy leader is very possessive of his resources! Much less hassle to have own copy.

    Sorry some people might find a downloadable copy easier - others don't. Any chance you can look into making it available to order dierectly from you?

    Really would be helpful.
    Thank you

    Hi there,

    Just wanted to let you know that this publication can be ordered through DfE Publications. The details for this are at the top of the page. There are some limits on the quantity per school and local authority but the order line will be able to advise you of this when you contact them.

    I hope that helps

    Actually, you can't order from DfE Publications. Just tried and was told 2 binders get sent to each school and that they then have to download the contents! It can't be sent out. So I now have 190 pages to pay for the printing and paper and find the time to do it - not impressed!

      Hi Lisa,

      I'm going to arrange for someone to contact you outside of this discussion and see if we can resolve this for you.

      If it's useful information then the current order limits for this publication are as follows:

      - 2 per Primary School
      - 2 per Middle deemed Primary School
      - 2 per Nursery
      - 10 per Local Authority
      Thank you
