Maths tips - At a glance • Kids learn counting as a pattern of words, just

like a nursery rhyme. • Kids learn the pattern of counting by repeating

the numbers. • To count, kids need to match saying the number

words with the correct number of things. • Kids should be given lots of opportunities to

practise and explore counting groups of things. Children also need to recognise and name numbers.

One of the first experiences kids have with numbers is counting. As kids' counting develops, they begin to relate the words to a number of ‘things’.

Counting with your child at home • Count the number of steps from the front door

to the letterbox. • Count the number of eggs in a carton, and again

after some have been removed. • Count the number of times you and your child

can throw a ball to each other without dropping it.

• Sing songs and nursery rhymes that include numbers such as Five Little Ducks  and Baa Baa Black Sheep.

• Have your child count as far as they are able to go and then encourage them to join you while you continue counting

WE CAN DO IT This term we will have an opportunity to play various outdoor games. We will also be cooking and problem solving with STEM

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) is all about inspiring our next generation of scientist, inventors, engineers and mathematicians. We work together to solve different problems each session. Activities include things like building a tower using newspaper and sticky tape, making a bridge out of paper and cups and making an insect house using straws.
