Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy

By means of supported practical activities children become familiar with sorting, matching, ordering, sequencing and counting concepts which form the basis of early mathematics. As they use their developing mathematical understanding to solve practical problems children are assisted to learn and use vocabulary of mathematics identifying objects by shape, position, size, volume and number. Songs, games and picture books help children become aware of number sequences and when they are ready to use simple mathematical operations such as addition and subtraction. Maths resources are readily available for all children both indoors and outside.
