Maths in EYFS

Lesson: Maths

Class: Beesley- EYFS Unit Year: 2023 - 2024

This week the children have been working on developing their counting skills by organising and counting larger sets of a wide range of objects. They have been exploring using their counting skills in a range of different contexts, including counting things that cannot be seen for example counting the number of beats on a drum or using counting to measure time when playing hide-and-seek. The children have been practising counting strategies that involve moving the objects. These included placing the objects in a line and counting along the line, or arranging them in rows and counting along each row. The children have been using the term 'touch counting' to ensure they keep track of which objects they have counted.
