Numeracy

Mathematical play is an important part in our everyday lives and is in nearly everything we do from reading a bus timetable to changing the TV channel, to weighing out ingredients or to checking our change from the supermarket just to name a few and it is during these early years that children can practise and master these fundamental skills.

our Toddlers Are Learning About Numeracy As they:

  • Counting items using one to one correspondence
  • Looking at shapes
  • Talking about the volume a bucket will hold
  • Learning words about weights and measures
    estimate distances
  • Dividing up and sharing out food
  • Explore empty and full
  • Understand daily patterns of routines
  • Complete knob puzzles to understand space
  • Begin to understand prepositions (in/out)

Our Pre-schoolers Are Learning About Numeracy As They:

  • Recognising shapes in the world
  • Starting to sort by colour, shape, and size
  • Using maths for a purpose
  • Understanding  that numerals stand for amounts
  • Can count to 20
  • Use spatial awareness to put puzzles together
  • Count with the concept of one-to-one correspondence
  • Start to make predictions
  • Use cause and effect
  • Compare and classify by height, size or gender

At Kids Castle you will find a variety of materials and resources that will allow the children to explore, investigate and master many of these mathematical skills as well as a group of educators to guide the learning and introduce mathematical concepts into the children’s world.
