Children explored capacity through practical, hands-on activities using a range of accessible resources such as containers, water play, and sensory materials. They were supported to compare quantities using key vocabulary such as full, empty, more, and less, developing their understanding through direct experience and repetition. The use of concrete resources and visual support enabled pupils to engage confidently, build mathematical language, and make meaningful comparisons in a structured and supportive learning environment. 

Children developed their understanding of pattern and sequencing through engaging in creating, copying, and continuing simple patterns, supporting their ability to recognise order and predict what comes next. Alongside this, pupils explored shape and spatial awareness through sorting, matching, and manipulating 2D and 3D shapes, building confidence in identifying properties and positions. These multisensory experiences supported communication, attention, and early mathematical thinking in a highly accessible and engaging way. 

Children engaged in activities to develop secure one-to-one correspondence and early number sense. Through carefully structured experiences using objects, manipulatives, and everyday resources, pupils practised matching numbers to quantities and counting accurately. These activities supported the development of quantity awareness, encouraging children to recognise that each object represents one count. The use of concrete resources and repeated modelling helped to build confidence, reinforce understanding, and lay strong foundations for early mathematical learning.
