Rationale:

Maths learning activities support pupils to develop cognitive skills to:

Explore using all the senses, develop spatial awareness, make connections, problem solve, explore patterns and shapes, develop an understanding of numbers and compare sizes, generalise and apply maths to practical situations.

Aim:

Pupils will have the opportunity to; explore with and develop their senses, problem solve in order to develop flexibility of thinking, develop an understanding that number refers to quantity, develop their working memory in order to remember instructions and carry out tasks, develop their play skills, learn skills to support independence, e.g. sorting clothes, using a phone.

Pupils throughout the day, are given the opportunity to 

• Explore their environment
• Develop confidence in their ability to think things through.
• Solve meaningful and practical problems.

We promote the use of functional and meaningful maths activities throughout the day in a range of experiences and in daily routines.
