Finn (3 years old) has been obsessed with numbers for over a year now. We decided to have a go writing the numbers 1 to 7.
Resources
- Whiteboard
- Whiteboard pen
- Magnetic numbers
Method
Finn talked me through his process for writing the numbers.
The next step would be to learn the written number words. Ioan (5 years old) invented a game to familiarise himself with the number words.
DfES Early Learning Goals (2017)
Physical development
ELG 04 – Moving and handling:
Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. They handle equipment and tools effectively, including pencils for writing.
Mathematics
ELG 11 – Numbers:
Children count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.
