Developing mathematical concepts in the early years

By
Marianne Knaus

Maths Is All Around You - Second edition is grounded in the newest version of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) V2.0. Inside, each early years maths concept is linked to the EYLF principles, practices and learning outcomes.

The resource has been updated to include the latest thinking and research on early years maths learning and teaching. Concepts covered are pattern, counting, number, early operations, measurement, shape and spatial awareness, matching, sorting, data analysis and chance. It also explores how carefully selected digital technology, as a motivating and active part of play, can foster mathematical thinking.

Widen the narrow view that foundation maths is just numbers and shapes. Instead, be shown how to enrich children's experiences with mathematics by ordering Maths Is All Around You.
