Indoor Mathematical Approaches
  1. Number
    1. Help children recognise number in their written form through painting by numbers activities. Practitioners can ask questions such as how many of each number/colour is on the child's drawing and what shapes does your picture use to make your animal/house etc. Or through a game of bingo where children need to recognise numbers writen down and match them to the ones they hear being called out. Practitioners can ask questions such as a what little numbers can you see in the big number e.g in 68 a child would say they have a 6 and an 8. You can then ask them if they add those numbers together will it make the number written in front of them etc.
      1. Helping children see that numbers can be represented through different marks can be shown through children doing tally charts of the different pets children have in their class for example so they can be asked
      2. Time
        1. Help children to understand how to use different tenses through one word story telling where one child will use a time phrase e.g. tomorrow, yesterday, today and all the children need to use the correct tenses or the story stops and starts again using a different time phrase but becomes harder for example they can't use the pronoun I anymore or can't use words with the letter "s" in it etc
          1. Helps children to understand the concept of time through games such as the minute game where children need to count 60 seconds in their head and when they think they've reached a minute they put their hand up or stand up etc. The practitioner then tells the children who got exactly one minute and who else was close. Practitioners can write down every child's "score" so they can talk about who got the closest. Who said it too soon/too late etc.
          2. Shape and Measure
            1. A cooking activity allows children to measure out the correct amount of different ingredients they need for their recipe for example 100g of flour. It also teaches them about too much/too few especially if they change the recipe to make more or less e.g. if a cupcake recipe is for 12 and they want 24 they'll need to double up all of the ingredients.
              1. Talk about shape with the children then ask them to collect objects in the setting that have a particular shape in them for example the bottom of a teacup may be a circle, wooden blocks may be rectangles etc
              2. Problem Solving
                1. Through role play children can use a pretend shop to give certain toys in the setting certain prices and then work out how much a child needs to pay for all their items, how much change they need etc
                  1. When preparing and setting out an activity for example a table that is for drawing with stencils children will need to work out how many chairs to set out so that their is enough space for as many children as possible without the space becoming too cramp as well as how many pens and what type to set out for example if they only have black paper then certain writing tools won't show up on it such as regular pens/pencils perhaps as well as how many stencils to put out so that each child can have at least one and if a certain type e.g. a caterpillar is a very popular one then should they put out more than one stencil of it etc.
                  2. Space/Location (Spacial Awareness)
                    1. Whilst making puzzle shape boxes ask the children how many items they can fit into one box, then make the box bigger and try again whilst using different types of objects that are different shapes and sizes to make it more difficult (advanced) for them.
                      1. Playing a game such as Aye Aye Captain where children need to follow instructions in a restricted space whilst walking around without bumping into each other or getting in the way of someone else doing their action for example one instruction is "scrub the decks" where children need to lie on their stomachs and "wash the floor" so children need to make sure they can spread themselves out without being in any of their peers way. Another instruction is the 4 directions on a ship: Port, Starboad, Bow, Stern so when one direction is called they have to approach a certain wall (left, right, front and back) so they much know their lefts and rights and remember what direction to go to.
