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.
Number work is also included
in the use of songs and rhymes, telling the time, blocks, number cards,
puzzles and board games. |
