Review

  • This is an excellent book, full of practical ideas to help develop children’s understanding of number. The images used show how you can use everyday resources to help develop children’s understanding of number without needing to spend lots of money on new resources, and the small snippets of research help you to understand why the activities suggested can help children to understand number. It is written in an easy-to-read style and can be dipped into and out of, a great tool to help support planning for maths in the EYFS. It even covers trickier concepts such as introducing addition and subtraction, and gives you advice on how to make this meaningful for children to understand.
