Nursery World - Number fun

Combine numeracy with literacy learning by choosing books based on number rhymes and games, and employing props and story sacks Numbers are fun. Children like to explore numbers and like to make connections with numbers in their everyday lives - car licence plates, telephone numbers and door numbers. We need to provide books that will support children's early numeracy development while remaining fun and exciting.

Numbers are fun. Children like to explore numbers and like to make connections with numbers in their everyday lives - car licence plates, telephone numbers and door numbers. We need to provide books that will support children's early numeracy development while remaining fun and exciting.

There are lots of very good books about number available, but there are some really dull, uninspiring one as well. As with all books, when selecting something to support early numeracy, it is important to choose books that reflect our multicultural society. Choose books that are eye-catching and appealing - bright and colourful covers will encourage children to look inside.
