This week for Maths Monday, Playroom 2 and 3 explored colour matching and sorting through hands-on play

The children enjoyed grouping objects by colour, matching items together, and talking about what they could see. Through play-based learning, they began to notice similarities and differences while building early maths understanding in a fun and engaging way.

What skills were we developing?

Colour recognition

Sorting and categorising

Early problem-solving

Visual discrimination

Language development (naming colours and describing objects)

Concentration and focus

Fine motor skills

Early mathematical thinking

These activities help build strong foundations for future maths learning — all while having lots of fun!
