Nursery - Maths - Using Size And Number Language

During maths this week we have been working on number language and understanding size. The children played a game together, hiding golden coins under different sized cups. The only clue they could give to their friends, to help find the coins, was the size of the cup they were hidden under. The children worked really hard to identify the big, medium and small cups. Once the coins were found, the children were encouraged to count their coins, some children did this independently!
