National Maths Week Scotland brought a range of activities in Nursery to focus on learning in this area of the curriculum. We were delighted that some children brought in examples of numbers and shapes that they had found with their families. The children also talked about shapes as they printed in the art area and produced a great effort when faced with the challenge of making the biggest tower they could in the construction area. Counting the number of bricks in their towers was tricky but the children pointed carefully to help them count and were able to use the language of measure to talk about their construction, for example, using words like ‘bigger’, smaller’, ‘taller’ etc.
