Maths in Nursery

This week in our maths sessions, we have been using our subitising and counting skills, using numerals and amounts to match.

This group of children counted the correct amount of bears into the basket, they used their counting skills to count up 3 bears.

This group of children counted up to 5 bears and matched 5 to the correct numeral.

This group of children counted up to 10 numerals and matched the correct quantity.

And this group of children had a big challenge, counting beyond 10 and matching the amounts to the numerals.
