Numeracy Yearly Plan – 5th & 6th Class Autism Class
This resource provides a complete year of structured numeracy planning tailored for an autism class at 5th and 6th Class level. Organised month-by-month, the plan links directly to maths strands and strand units, supporting older pupils to engage with maths in a clear, structured, and meaningful way.
The plan is designed to:
Support 5th & 6th Class pupils working across a broad range of numeracy abilities.
Provide theme-based numeracy activities that connect with wider classroom topics.
Cover key areas such as number, operations, fractions, decimals, shape & space, measures, and data.
Include hands-on, visual, and sensory-friendly approaches to make maths learning accessible for all pupils.
Plan for children requiring curriculum access support, including minimally speaking children and AAC users, embedding communication and engagement opportunities within maths activities.
Save teachers valuable time with a ready-to-use framework aligned to the Irish Primary Maths Curriculum, while leaving flexibility for child-led and interest-based exploration.
This yearly numeracy plan ensures maths learning is inclusive, adaptable, and practical, enabling every child to develop core numeracy skills and confidence at their own pace.
