Mathematics

This is made up of the following aspects:

Numbers: This is about how children gradually know and use numbers and counting in play, and eventually recognise and use numbers reliably so that they can develop mathematical ideas and solve problems.

It is about how children develop an awareness of the relationship between numbers and amounts, and know that numbers can be combined to be ‘added together’, can be separated by ‘taking away’ and that two or more amounts can be compared.

Shape, Space and Measure: This is about how through talking about shapes and quantities, and by developing appropriate vocabulary, children use their knowledge to develop ideas and to solve mathematical problems.
