@helenjwc @Maternellenum @petitegraine255 You could also have a listen to this podcast I recorded with @AndyBurtEEX at early excellence 2 years ago. I no longer work at the school mentioned but I believe they have continued with the work I started there on early maths https://t.co/5wcy9bI8pP

[Kate Gingles @EduKate28]

@Maternellenum @petitegraine255 There are some gorgeous real life examples of these types of games being used in @helenjwc book Playful Mathematics - really recommend it for inspiration!

[Kate Gingles @EduKate28]

@Maternellenum @petitegraine255 So the set up today was for teachers of 4 & 5 year olds to explore. Using this with children I would instruct them first on how they could use items and then introduce some of the resources for further free exploration in the classroom or games in small groups.

[Kate Gingles @EduKate28]

@Maternellenum @petitegraine255 The resources were to support the teaching of counting, subitising and maths games ❤️

@Emma_Turner75 Emma, I'd be really interested to chat to you about your work in this area as I'm about to embark on a project around mixed R/1 and N/R classes and would love to pick your brains. I will DM you

#nursery child excitedly comes in from the garden.

He finds an adult.

Child: “Look what I’ve found, I’ve found a ladybug.”

Adult: “Ooh, how many spots does it have?”

Child: “All of them!”

Joy!
