In this fun maths and colouring activity, children need to solve the maths question in each petal. Does the answer to each petal equal the number in the middle of the flower? Find the odd one out with these addition and subtraction activities. 

The key question when teaching subtraction is “how many are left?”.

Use math word problems to bring maths to life and give meaning to concepts that can otherwise be confusing. Use real life objects (manipulatives) to explore the problems in an active, hands-on and engaging way. Stuffed animals make great manipulatives for learning maths. 

Play dough activities for early years maths helps to combine sensory activities, fine motor skills and number work which is a great way of bringing numbers to life.

Children love stickers. Take advantage of this enthusiasm and have them practise fine motor skills and counting with this easy sticker-number matching game.

Sorting building blocks is a fun way to encourage scientific thinking. Deciding on different ways to categorise items is an important developmental step towards thinking scientifically.
