Number Tracks

Ducklings have been developing their early maths skills by exploring and recognising number patterns. The children focused on identifying numbers using dice patterns, helping them to link quantities with numerals.

To apply this learning, the children worked in pairs to play a simple track game. They took turns rolling a dice, counting the spots and moving their counters along the track. The aim was to reach number 10 first.

This engaging, hands-on activity, supported the EYFS Mathematics area of learning, particularly Number, as children practised counting, recognising quantities, and understanding one-to-one correspondence. It also encouraged turn-taking, cooperation and confidence with numbers through purposeful play.
