Mathematics: early level experiences and outcomes

14 Es&Os, usually taught in nursery and P1. Choose "Plan this" to open a lesson plan linked to that experience and outcome.

Patterns and relationships

  • MTH 0-13a

    I have spotted and explored patterns in my own and the wider environment and can copy and continue these and create my own patterns.

Properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects

  • MTH 0-16a

    I enjoy investigating objects and shapes and can sort, describe and be creative with them.

    Plan this

Angle, symmetry and transformation

  • MTH 0-17a

    In movement, games, and using technology I can use simple directions and describe positions.

    Plan this
  • MTH 0-19a

    I have had fun creating a range of symmetrical pictures and patterns using a range of media.

Estimation and rounding

  • MNU 0-01aAcross learning

    I am developing a sense of size and amount by observing, exploring, using and communicating with others about things in the world around me.

    Plan this

Number and number processes including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and negative numbers

  • MNU 0-02aAcross learning

    I have explored numbers, understanding that they represent quantities, and I can use them to count, create sequences and describe order.

    Plan this
  • MNU 0-03aAcross learning

    I use practical materials and can ‘count on and back’ to help me to understand addition and subtraction, recording my ideas and solutions in different ways.

    Plan this

Fractions, decimal fractions and percentages including ratio and proportion

  • MNU 0-07aAcross learning

    I can share out a group of items by making smaller groups and can split a whole object into smaller parts.

    Plan this

Money

  • MNU 0-09aAcross learning

    I am developing my awareness of how money is used and can recognise and use a range of coins.

    Plan this

Time

  • MNU 0-10aAcross learning

    I am aware of how routines and events in my world link with times and seasons, and have explored ways to record and display these using clocks, calendars and other methods.

    Plan this

Measurement

  • MNU 0-11aAcross learning

    I have experimented with everyday items as units of measure to investigate and compare sizes and amounts in my environment, sharing my findings with others.

    Plan this

Data and analysis

  • MNU 0-20aAcross learning

    I can collect objects and ask questions to gather information, organising and displaying my findings in different ways.

    Plan this
  • MNU 0-20bAcross learning

    I can match objects, and sort using my own and others’ criteria, sharing my ideas with others.

    Plan this
  • MNU 0-20cAcross learning

    I can use the signs and charts around me for information, helping me plan and make choices and decisions in my daily life.

Other areas at early level

Questions teachers ask

What are the mathematics experiences and outcomes at early level?
There are 14, usually taught in nursery and P1. They are listed on this page with their codes, grouped by curriculum organiser.
How do I plan a nursery and P1 mathematics lesson for an Es&O?
Choose "Plan this" next to the experience and outcome. Heapso opens a lesson plan set to P1 Mathematics with that code linked. You can change anything before Pip writes.

Plan your next mathematics unit

Heapso opens a unit plan set to Mathematics, early level. Add the Es&Os you're teaching and Pip cites only those.
