Bring the festive season into your classroom with It’s a Wrap!, a joyful maths storybook designed to help Reception pupils explore shapes with four sides through a Christmas-themed adventure. As the final week in the Maths Foundations Early Years Autumn sequence, this original Teacher’s Pet tale blends holiday excitement with purposeful mathematical exploration.

This resource is part of a wider 12-week White Rose Maths and EYFS-aligned maths programme that builds foundational understanding through storytelling, child-led play, and hands-on activities. Ideal for developing pupils’ recognition of squares, rectangles and other quadrilaterals, this story offers a language-rich context that supports key learning outcomes in shape and space.

Pair with the accompanying tuff tray, activity plans, PowerPoint, and Teaching Essentials to round off your Autumn term with fun, festive maths learning. Perfect for revisiting counting, comparing, and describing shapes—all wrapped up in a seasonal storyline your class will love.
