Early years adding

In this task, the book 'Maisy Goes Camping' by Lucy Cousins introduces children to the idea of using the size and number of objects to work out how many will fit in a 'tent'.

In this game, children will use their addition and subtraction skills to keep track of the number of toys hidden inside a box when toys are added in or taken out.

In the pirate pound shop, children can practise their counting skills by choosing ten items to spend their ten pounds on.

By making 'paths' out of different materials and discussing these, children will develop their shape and space language in this activity.
