We have been developing our early math skills in Nursery. Basic skills might be taught or practiced in small focus groups but there is also lots of opportunity to develop and practice math skills in continuous provision so the children are always learning lots!
At the moment they are learning to count in order and that the last number they count is how many they have. They have been using one to one correspondence and making sure they touch each item first when they count, they have also been trying to recognise small amounts on sight for example when we roll a dice.
If you want to help at home ensuring children are really confident with counting small amounts first is a really good place to start, playing lots of dice games or dominoes would support this. There are also some online games on the website below: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/3-5-years/counting.
