Stories and rhymes put maths into context and demonstrate concepts in ways meaningful to children. They make maths more relevant, fun and accessible to children, sparking their imagination while developing their mathematical thinking.

Developing Early Maths through Story is the new guide to help practitioners feel more confident about teaching early mathematics.

Ideal for use with 3-5 years old, the book will encourage young learners to exercise mathematical concepts, both outdoors and indoors, and show practitioners how to help their children and develop their skills creatively.

The book contains 14 chapters, on numbers 0 to 13, each including:

* A brief outline of a traditional story

* EYFS Learning objectives

* Resources needed

* Suggestions for younger children and babies

* Scope for outdoor activities and for using natural materials

* Further activities, games and extension questions

* Suggestions for using ICT

* Assessment opportunities.

Ideal for parents and carers who want to explore or extend the learning of maths at home with their children in a very accessible and enjoyable way.
