Mathematics

Take every opportunity to practise counting with your child, e.g. counting stairs, apples in the fruit bowl, sweets and cars you see going past.
Recognise numbers in the environment – the number 2 bus, the house number you live at, your child’s age.
Encourage your child to sort and group things by colour, shape or size, e.g. socks, clothes, buttons etc.
Let your child help you to set the table and count out the correct number of knives, forks and spoons needed.
Look at and talk about the colour and shape of things.
Talk about the size of things e.g. long, short, tall, longer, shorter, taller. Pass me the biggest box, the longest pencil…
Sing number songs like ‘Five Little Ducks’ and ‘Ten Green Bottles’. Can they recite the numbers to ten in order, forwards and backwards?
Discuss the position of things e.g. under, over, above, below, in front, behind, next to, between.
Make a pretend shop and let your child use real coins to ‘buy’ items.
Let your child help with the cooking. This could involve sharing, talking about heavy and light and measuring ingredients.
