The Red Rose Mastery Maths Reception programme is designed to build firm foundations in mathematical understanding for children in their Reception year. The revision of the EYFS statutory framework and educational programme for maths has meant that effective teaching of mathematics has evolved significantly. The guidance supports a mastery approach which rejects the idea that a large proportion of people ‘just can’t do maths’ (NCETM 2016) and instead focuses on the idea that all pupils can achieve depth in their understanding. In line with the mastery approach, this programme will also integrate opportunities to develop the characteristics of effective learning which are so important in developing a confident and independent learner.

Red Rose Mastery Maths Reception is a comprehensive curriculum that will support development not only of number, but also of shape, space, measure, statistics and pattern. The programme will provide teachers with comprehensive planning documentation to support their teaching – both short adult led learning and enhancements to support further learning in continuous provision. All learning opportunities will be in line with effective EYFS pedagogies.

This is a standalone resource which will form a firm foundation for whichever scheme schools are using across Years 1 to 6.

This programme aligns with Ofsted’s research for the Inspection Framework, which suggests that “Teachers’ professional development needs to be built on and into subject content and often develops both content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. Ideally, it should be curriculum aligned, be of substantial duration, and actively involve the teachers in learning and reflection.” Ofsted (2019)
