Marvellous Maths in Reception

Marvellous Maths in Reception 

This week in Reception, we learnt about the composition and formation of numbers 1, 2 and 3.  The children completed a variety of activities, such as  counting different objects and matching them to the corresponding numbers. During our carpet inputs we used Ten Town to practice the rhymes used to write each number. The children then practised forming these numbers.

Please see the document below for the rhymes we use to help the children form numbers correctly.
