Look our for latest poster in our series on number rhymes 'Little Monkeys'.

Music and rhyme are central to early learning and an essential tool in developing children's understanding of number. Making number rhymes a feature of your daily practice helps to develop and consolidate children's grasp of mathematical concepts, so having a good supply of rhymes to hand is important.

In our four-part poster series, we aim to provide you with a repertoire of rhymes — and resource ideas — featuring:

* ascending numbers

* descending numbers

* big numbers, and

* number patterns.

The latest poster, 'Little Monkeys', follows 'Octopus' and 'Five Little Chicks'. All are beautifully illustrated by Jonny Lambert.
