Sample text

Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy - older children can often count confidently up to five, and many to ten. Opportunities to use number names in familiar contexts, such as counting the number of brushes or shells, are endless with treasure baskets. Similarly, using mathematical language will come very naturally with themed baskets, such as heavy and light, bigger and smaller, more and less; as well as using language to describe the position of objects such as next to, under, above, beside.

Children will begin to use language to connect their ideas, explain to others what they are doing and what they are going to do. The EYFS states, ‘Children’s mathematical development occurs as they seek patterns, make connections and recognise Case Study Oliver, aged 22 months, was engrossed in exploring large plant pots. He put them on his head, put other objects inside and transported things around the room. He discovered that he could see through the holes in the bottom of the pot and squealed with delight as he saw things differently.

Children can often be observed using different objects as tools or as part of a structure, for example using a cardboard tube to support a pile of objects. They will build and construct using the larger materials such as plant pots, tins, and boxes and can often be observed amending their designs as they build and create. Piling objects on top of each other is a ‘learning tool’ and helps the child develop the ability to have a mental image in order to create a structure and then to actually create it.
