This series of books will provide practical activities to support the Early Learning Goals (QCA). Six of the books will focus on one of the Areas of Learning and a seventh provides a range of photocopiable sheets. The books will be organised to provide a chapter for each cluster of Early Learning Goals (ie Dispositions and attitudes in PSED) with activities supporting a range of the appropriate Stepping Stones. This book provides a range of activities to cover the Early Learning Goals for Mathematical Development. Divided into chapters, one for each cluster of Early Learning Goals, the activities provide comprehensive coverage of the Stepping Stones and Early Learning Goals. Chapters cover Numbers as labels and for counting, Calculating and Shape, space and measures. Ideas include a rhyme time floor game, creating a counting display and working as a team to construct a giant model. A total of 18 photocopiables provide additional support.

This series of books will provide practical activities to support the Early Learning Goals (QCA). Six of the books will focus on one of the Areas of Learning and a seventh provides a range of photocopiable sheets. The books will be organised to provide a chapter for each cluster of Early Learning Goals (ie Dispositions and attitudes in PSED) with activities supporting a range of the appropriate Stepping Stones. This book provides a range of activities to support the Early Learning Goals for all six Areas of Learning. The photocopiable activities can be used alongside the six other books in the series and many link with original ideas in these books. They provide comprehensive coverage of the Stepping Stones and Early Learning Goals with a range of ideas including sequencing pictures, model making, 'talk about' sheets, games, collages and activity sheets. A total of 96 photocopiables are included with notes on how each idea links with the Early Learning Goals and how to use the sheets.
