258 - Maths Is More Than Numbers

Are you missing maths opportunities in your setting because you're only looking for numbers and counting?

Early maths is happening everywhere, from a baby fitting objects into containers, to a toddler comparing sizes, to a preschooler building a tower or working out how many pieces they need. The challenge is recognising those everyday moments and knowing how to use them to develop children's mathematical thinking and language.

In this episode of Get Inspection Ready, we look beyond number lines and counting to explore what a mathematically rich early years environment really looks like.

Within this episode, you will...

🎧 Recognise the maths that is already happening throughout your daily routines and provision.

🎧 Understand how to develop children's mathematical thinking through meaningful, everyday experiences.

🎧 Identify ways practitioners can use mathematical language and interactions to extend learning without turning everything into a test.
