Looking for Learning: Maths through Play - Creative ideas for incorporating maths into all child-led play

Looking for Learning: Maths through Play is a full-colour, practical guide to inspire child-led learning that's linked to current policy and the EYFS framework. As each child progresses through their learning journey, Early Years practitioners are expected to identify and understand what learning is taking place in every activity that a child is involved in. Laura England, creator of Little Miss Early Years , uses her wealth of experiences as an Early Years teacher to explore the learning that takes place when a child's play inspires mathematical learning. She explains clearly that Maths doesn't have to be about sitting at tables doing adult-initiated activities but instead can be as simple as introducing measuring tubes to constructive play.This dip-in-and-out book is linked to the Characteristics of Effective Learning and presents case studies, real-life images and practical pointers to explore using play for early mathematical concepts. With tips for setting up the environment to the adult's role in this child-led play, Looking for Learning: Maths through Play is ideal for all Early Years practitioners searching for accessible ideas for incorporating the mathematical learning that takes place during play into their settings.>
