This file will tell you everything you want to know about young children learning mathematics. Starting Out explores the steps involved in learning the counting numbers, the subtleties of more and less and difference, and how pattern-making sets the basis for an understanding of algebra. There are ideas for both child- and adult-initiated maths activities in all the areas in your setting. And it's all linked to the Early Learning Goals and the Curriculum guidance for the foundation stage.

 

This book is at the foundation stage (early years) of the key stage system. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) covers children from birth to age 5 years. A key stage is any of the fixed stages into which the national curriculum is divided, each having its own prescribed course of study. At the end of each stage, pupils are required to complete standard assessment tasks.
