Encourage children to:

• Count the steps we go up and down
• Look at the house numbers or bus numbers while in the street
• Set the table - how many cups etc do we need?
• Match pairs of socks
• Brush long hair or short hair

Other Maths vocab to use is heavy/light, empty/full, long/short, big/small, in front of, behind, in, on, under, next to. For example, when stacking pots and pans after they have been washed up, or stacking the dishwasher, ask questions such as:

• Which is the smallest?
• Which is the biggest?
• Which is the heaviest pan?
• Which is the lightest pan?
• Look at how tall the flowers have grown
• Sing number rhymes
• Cut out numbers in magazines and catalogues, find page numbers books
• Play games such as dominoes, snakes and ladder, skittles and card games such as snap. You can even play I-spy using descriptions e.g. I spy something that has 3 legs
