Mathematics- Meaningful opportunities in the Early Years
As an Early Years Educator, it breaks my heart to hear children say "I don't like maths." or "Maths is too hard." The truth is, maths isn't hard in the Early Years- but it can be made difficult for individual children to access, by the adults in their environment. As with all learning, if the foundation is strong and there is a willingness to learn, children are capable of accessing mathematical concepts. Maths is all around us.
