Let's Talk Maths Week!

We are having fun with numbers in nursery...

Showing interest in solving problems
Counting objects in a set and matching numbers

Matching numeral and quantity. Checking how many by counting carefully
Exploring the shape of numerals
Saying and using some number names in sequence

Developing one-to-one correspondence
Matching numerals 

Developing knowledge of numerals through play
Showing an interest in numerals and sets of objects

Recognising some numerals in play

Counting out how many fish caught

Beginning to use some number names in play
How many fish did you catch?
Concentrating and developing awareness of numerals as symbols

Developing counting skills

Exploring shape, space and measures...

In our outdoor area...


Making food in our outdoor kitchen

Sorting out Max's socks

Watch this space for even more marvellous maths!


Wow! Look at this number line. Creating our own number lines with some support

Matching by numeral and quantity


Washing the cars outdoors

Developing understanding of vocabulary linked to size and shape

Sharing out equipment and resources, counting part, e.g. Wheels and using positional and directional language in context (underneath, front, back, top, bottom, side)


Sharing and counting at snack time. Giving out plates, cups, talking about shape, size, counting out fruit and developing understanding of change in quantity. How many left...?


Careful counting out!

Lots of our learning in 'Mathematics' takes place during daily routines as well as during adult led activities and through our own self-initiated play. Adults use a lot of mathematical language within many contexts to aid chikdren's developing understanding of vocabulary related to number, size, shape, space, position and capacity.


Five little monkeys sitting in a tree... (One of our favourite songs) 



Four little ducks went swimming one day...


Developing self confidence and self esteem:-)

Workshop for parents and carers - Thursday morning...

  2. Wow! You had a really busy 'Let's Talk Maths Week', Nursery. It looks like there's such a lot of clever counting going on around your classroom. I really like the number lines you've been making, especially. I'll have to pay you all a visit when we go back to school so you can tell me more...

    Hope you're all having a smashing break!
