Numeracy Throughout Nursery

What’s the time Mr Wolf?

The children used the felt numbers outdoors in a variety of numeracy play opportunities.

Children enjoyed playing What’s the time Mr Wolf?  With guidance from an adult they were able to take the correct number of steps.

“2 o’clock”!!    “1, 2, 3”!!

After an adult had written numbers up to 10 on the outdoor chalkboard a child then decided to replicate this by writing these numbers independently.

Some of the children selected the felt numbers and began matching them to the numbers printed on the number snake outdoors, saying the numbers as they added them.

“2, 2, 5”.    “3, 8, 5”.

Children have been using games on the interactive whiteboard, taking turns and practicing waiting their turn.

   

“Where’s the orange circle”.  “We need 3 spots”.    “I need to get 4 spots”.    “That’s the number 6”.

Focusing on counting the Kapla blocks

“Add on another one on, that will make 39 now”.
