Here at St Mary's, we aim to develop a love and curiosity of numbers and maths for EYFS children. We use very practical activities to inspire and engage the children and often take our work outside. Numbers need to be real and meaningful to young children, so it's important to show them numbers in context. Children need real-life maths experiences and the chance to repeat them often. This is how they remember them . Use mathematical words to support children's mathematical thinking.
