Maths

• We encourage the children to talk about numbers and think of their own problems that they would like to solve.

• Maths is integrated throughout the day.• It is VITAL that your children have the opportunities to represent maths in a

way that makes sense to them. This may not make sense to you but it is your child's way of making sense of maths.

• Children can learn mathematical tricks which does not necessarily mean that they understand the concept.

• Discussion and mathematical language is key to their development. • The process is just as valuable as the outcome.
