Frequently asked questions
Should 4-year-olds be doing worksheets?
Short, fun worksheets (5–10 minutes max) can be a great supplement to play-based learning. The key is keeping them enjoyable — which is why themed worksheets tend to work better than plain ones for young children.
What's the difference between EYFS and Year 1 maths?
EYFS focuses on understanding numbers to 10 through exploration and play. Year 1 builds on this with more formal written methods and working with numbers up to 100.
Are these suitable for nursery as well as Reception?
The simpler EYFS worksheets are suitable for nursery-age children (3–4 years), particularly the number recognition and counting activities.
