MATHS
We have been exploring and understanding number 1. Wherever possible, ensure that your child is counting real life objects. They can start by counting identical objects before moving onto counting objects that have slight differences e.g different colours, different sizes, but make sure that the objects are of the same type. Encourage your child to put objects in a line when counting so they have a clear start and end point.
