Young children have lots of important mathematical experiences every day and there are lots of ways to help them begin to develop their mathematical skills.

We explore mathematics through different contexts, including storybooks, puzzles, songs, rhymes, puppet play, and games.

We make the most of moments throughout the day to highlight and use mathematics, for example, in daily routines and play activities.

Children are encouraged compare quantities, find patterns, navigate in space, and deal with problems such as balancing a tall block building or sharing resources fairly with another child.
