EYFS Maths Assessment Adult Guidance

Shape, Space and Measure: 22-36 Months


When completing the maths assessment check on a child, to help you to find out if the child can do the
different statements, you may like to complete the activity suggestion listed below each ‘I can’ statement.

If you choose to complete the assessment check using the suggestions


below, these are the resources you will need:
• Two hoops
• Four large balls and three small balls and/or four circle 2D shapes
and three square 2D shapes
• 2D shapes

Activity Suggestion for Each ‘I Can’ Statement

I can notice simple shapes and patterns in pictures.


Show the child pictures made from different shapes, for example from a shape book, or use 2D shapes to make a simple
picture, such as a picture of a house. Ask the child what they can tell you about the picture and ask if they can see
any shapes in the picture that they know the names of.

I can categorise objects according to properties, such as shape or size.


Place two hoops in front of the child and in front of the hoops place a selection of objects with different criteria. For
example, you could use four large balls and three small balls or four circle 2D shapes and three square 2D shapes. Ask
the child to sort the objects into the different hoops and discuss with them why and how they have sorted the objects
in the way they chose to.

I can use the language of size.


Choose a large version of on an object and a small version of the same object, such as a large and a small ball. Ask the
child what they can tell you about the two objects, what do they notice is different about them?

I can understand some talk about immediate past and future. For example, ‘before’ or ‘later’.
Ask the child questions that will demonstrate if they have an understanding of language
related to time, such as, “What do you do before you go to bed at night?”

I can anticipate specific time-based events, such as mealtimes or home time.


Ask the child questions that will demonstrate if they are able to anticipate time-based
events. For example, if you always play outside before home time you could ask, “What
happens each day after we have played outside?” During the day, you could also observe
if the child shows an understanding of specific time-based events.
