Stage 1 EAST Maths Bundle

Forming Groups (FG6) + Recognising & Classifying 2D Shapes (2DS7)

Looking for explicit, low-prep maths lessons that align with the EAST framework and actually build deep understanding?

This Stage 1 EAST Maths Bundle includes two complete 2-day units:

✔ FG6 – Forming Equal Groups

✔ 2DS7 – Recognising & Classifying 2D Shapes

Each unit follows the EAST Explicit Teaching model and includes both:

• Detailed PowerPoint slides
• Matching YOU DO worksheets for independent practice

Perfect for supporting mixed-ability Stage 1 learners through:

• concrete modelling
• guided practice
• independent application
• mathematical reasoning
