Maths Planning — Full Academic Year | Nursery

A comprehensive whole-year maths planning resource designed specifically for Nursery classes. Created by an experienced Early Years Lead Teacher and aligned with the EYFS framework, this resource supports you to teach key mathematical skills and knowledge through a clear, progressive sequence of learning — without having to start from scratch.

Rather than a collection of isolated activities, this planning is built around purposeful progression — helping you understand what children are learning, why it matters and how each block of learning builds on the last.

What’s Included?

• A mathematical progression document mapping key skills and knowledge across the year
• Over 100 play planning cards covering the full academic year
• Each planning card includes the learning objective, teacher input or focused task, key questions and prompts, and links to enhanced provision activities
• Flexible timings to support adaptation to your setting and children
• Practical games and activities designed to complement your current approach or scheme

Why Teachers Love It

• Provides a clear, progressive structure for maths teaching across the full Nursery year
• Saves significant planning time without removing professional judgement
• Balances focused teacher input with meaningful, play-based learning
• Flexible enough to work alongside your existing scheme or as a standalone resource
• Keeps maths purposeful, practical and rooted in child development

How Can I Use This Resource?

• Use the progression document to map mathematical learning across the year with confidence
• Dip into individual play planning cards to support weekly and short-term planning
• Use key questions and prompts to deepen children’s mathematical thinking during play
• Link focused teaching inputs to enhanced provision using the built-in activity ideas
• Adapt timings and activities to meet the needs of your cohort throughout the year

💡 This resource is also available inside the Is it Time to Play? Membership, giving members access to all maths planning and play planning cards for every week of the academic year, alongside hundreds of other EYFS and KS1 planning resources — for no additional cost.
