Get Ready For Mathematics – An Early Numeracy Activity Book

The Get Ready For Mathematics- An Early Numeracy Activity Book is the perfect resource to develop your child’s numeracy skills before entering formal schooling at home or in the classroom. It includes thirteen different types of early numeracy activities. Children use whiteboard markers, playdough, tweezers, pom poms and dice to develop their early numeracy skills. The pages are flexible enough that other loose parts materials could be used.

Set up is easy just print and put activities into plastic sleeves and into a binder. I recommend using good quality plastic sleeves to enable the whiteboard marker to come off with ease.

We all use mathematics to navigate our everyday decisions successfully. Children begin to experience and explore mathematical concepts from birth. With support, they participate in mathematical thinking and use mathematical concepts to organise, record and communicate ideas about the world around them.

Understanding and using mathematical concepts, and being numerate, helps children know and describe the world around them and make meaning of these encounters. It is, therefore, an essential skill for successful daily life.

Building children’s confidence in understanding and using mathematics to explore and know the world will benefit everyone. Children benefit from many opportunities to generate and discuss ideas, make plans, exercise skills, engage in sustained shared thinking, generate solutions to problems, reflect and give reasons for their choices. Children who are confident and involved learners have positive dispositions toward learning, and experience challenge and success in their learning.
