Part of the National Curriculum Early Years Foundation Stage
Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy is one of the six areas of learning Happy Days Childcare works towards on the Early Years Foundation Stage. The EYFS is the first part of the National Curriculum and is incorporated into all of our activities at Happy Days Childcare ::: find out about creative development here

This area looks at using numbers as labels and for counting. There is an introduction to the concept of simple calculation and building an awareness of shapes, space and measures.

Everyday we involve PSRN. So, for example, at break we would encourage counting out the fruits and discuss what shape the toast is; we chat about how many bricks make up the tallest tower and make guesses as to how many small jugs of water are needed to fill one big bucket.

Counting and recognising the numbers 1-10 is of primary importance. We have focussed activities which help children to develop their own awareness of this.
