Maths Learning Experiences
Learning Concept: Number sense is a vital skill for young children to learn.  They learn mathematics through counting, taking away, adding, and counting again		Age Group: 2-3years
Link to EYLF Learning Outcome Learning Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners 4.1 Children develop dispositions for learning such as curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity	Goal   Beginning work with math manipulatives such as counters, Legos, or counting bears will help a child develop number sense.
Rationale: Touching objects with their hands helps them to connect the number they are counting with the amount of objects that they feel and see Correlating objects with counting is a great start to math work in the home or preschool.  This shows an understanding of place value while using manipulatives before written computations are even introduced.
Resources: ·                  Print out sheet with boxes with number aligned vertically ·                  Bears toys with different colours.
How will resources be set up/presented? ·        Floor soft mat ·        One math sheet per child ·        Place printed sheet on this soft mat. ·        Group of 5 children with each sheet and bear sets
Language (Vocabulary and Questions) to provoke and/or promote children’s learning. Asking probing questions can help a child learn during play as well:  “Can you show me 5 bears?”  “How do you know that is 8 bears?”  “Could you count it and show me?” “Tell me about what you’re building.”  “How else can I use counting bears?” Reference: https://hiphomeschoolmoms.com/preschool-math-counting-bears-free-printable/
