Maths in general is an area many early years practitioners lack
confidence in - many having struggled at school themselves. They
need lots of 'bright ideas' for teaching maths, which are not
intimidating and are very 'doable'. This hands-on Little Book
provides a breadth and depth of content that will enthuse both
adults and children to explore fun and exciting everyday situations
and number problems together.
Foundations of Mathematics outlines seven strands of practice which
underpin successful mathematical development inchildren aged 3-7.
Early years mathematics specialists, Carole and Judith, draw on
their experience of working with early years practitioners,
including consultants and advisers, across the UK and
internationally. The book is completely up-to-date and embeds the
Revised Early Years Foundation Stage throughout the book. The book
brims with multi-sensory ideas that will trigger children's
curiosity, measuring using sand mousse, hunting for buried treasure
and building secret dens outdoors. There are: - activities that
involve playing and exploring, - games to make learning active, and
- experiences to develop creative and critical thinking. Alongside
these practical experiences and activities are clear explanations
of the reasoning behind the ideas with clear guidance on the role
of the practitioner and 'Home Challenges' to promote the engagement
of families. The authors provide straightforward advice to support
the development of a mathematically-enriched learning environment
and ideas to help children transfer learning into their own
child-initiated play, to build a genuine and solid foundation for
mathematics.
Identified as one of the three prime areas of learning in the EYFS
2014, communication and language is high on the agenda of head
teachers and leaders in all Early Years and school settings. Speech
and 'talk' are at the centre of this requirement, and children are
required to meet an expected level in order to be identified as
having reached a 'good level of development'. Talk is the precursor
to both reading and writing. Essentially, if children have nothing
to speak about, they have nothing to write about! The best way for
children to enhance their receptive vocabulary (the words they
understand) and their expressive vocabulary (the words they use) is
by being surrounded by adults who talk and listen to them! Adults
should engage children by observing them, tuning into their
passions, getting involved in their play and using their interests
to trigger their curiosity and therefore form a springboard for
learning. This Little Book is packed with lots of low-budget ideas,
activities and experiences that will enhance and enrich children's
learning journeys through talk!
This brand new Little Book focuses on using everyday objects that
appeal to young children in the EYFS, with a clear emphasis on the
use of non-standard measures as well as standard measures in
meaningful contents. Explore opportunities such as estimating how
many 'giant's strides' it is from the door to the climbing frame,
or how many handprints tall each child is, as well as using trundle
wheels, metre rules, sand timers, stop watches, balances and
scales. The activities use simple to obtain and inexpensive
materials, so are suitable for practitioners working on a tight
budget (which many of them are)!
