Colourful maths.

Recently the girls have been working busily to collect and organize some of the different materials which make up our treasure box. We discuss similarities and differences between the different items and work to categorize the materials by colour. Following on from this we enjoy counting how many items represent each colour and explore concepts such as ‘more’ and ‘less’. The girls also enjoy having a go at writing down the names of the different colours and the number of items which belong to each group.
