In line with the revised EYFS's specific areas of learning, this book encourages practitioners to reflect on ways in which they can make their provision richer and more exciting when it comes to children's mathematical learning. Chapters are linked to areas of continuous provision including sand, water, dough, role play, music, outdoors and ICT, with a wide range of activities to engage children in mathematical thinking.
For example, the chapter on dough outlines how they can learn through both exploring it and the process of making it, linking activities to measures, materials and changes.
The enormous scope of the outdoors is examined, with activities that enable children to work on a large scale, making maths physical, sensory and even messy.
