Within the nursery a large variety of resources are available in all areas for the children to develop their understanding of various mathematical concepts. They are discovering that mathematical concepts and numbers are in all aspects of everyday life and we provide opportunities to discover how we can use them in everyday practical situations.

We take small groups of children to the local Spar to purchase snack items, giving them hands on learning to the value and use of coins.

At the end of the summer term we had a mini initiative, where the children made a shop to sell our excess fruit and vegetables to our mummies and daddies. They made signs and decided on costs (1p for a small potato, 2p for a medium one and 3p for a big one). This activity encompassed a great deal of cross curricular learning.
