Maths

Maths in the Early Years is used to develop the children’s confidence and ability with number and to develop a strong foundation of number. It is essential so that all children develop the necessary building blocks to progress in maths. Children learn to count confidently, develop a deep understanding of the numbers to 10, the relationships between them and the patterns within those numbers. The children have access to a range of opportunities to apply their understanding such as using counters, such as small pebbles and tens frames for organising counting. Children also develop a great understanding of the correct mathematical vocabulary needed. Children also develop their skills across other areas of mathematics including shape, space and measures. Children develop positive attitudes and interests towards maths and learn to ‘have a go’
