This week was Maths Week in Nursery and Reception! All week we have been focussing on developing our maths skills in all areas of the classroom, such as hunting for numbers hidden in the sand, using money in the role play, exploring capacity in the water area and talking about size, height and length as we make models in the construction area.
We have also been working on our own individual maths targets and on Friday we welcomed mums and dads into our class to share our maths learning.
In our adult led activities we have been doing lots of maths investigations to develop our mathematical thinking and problem solving skills. These have included finding the possible totals when rolling two dice, working out how to share some pirate treasure, finding as many different ways as possible to show the number 5 and seeing how many counters we can put into a pot in one minute!
