At Halbeath Nursery we provide all children with a numeracy rich environment giving children lots of opportunities to play with maths concepts in their everyday play.  Children participate in tabletop games, practising their turn taking and listening skills.  Activities such as play dough, clay, powder paints are available for children to explore, investigate and recreate their ideas.  At snack and lunch times, the concepts of shape, size, quantity, and length are discussed and encouraged by all staff.  Whether cutting sandwiches, pouring milk or water, and counting the number of people at the table before setting the table.  Opportunities such as building blocks, puzzles, patterns, shape recognition, rhymes and music activities encourages children to notice patterns in their surroundings as they familiarise them with counting and problem solving.
