Focus on Numeracy

Activities to encourage learning about numbers 

• Use dice that have numbers and dots to help your child recognise numbers and amounts. Ask your child, "How many dots are on the dice?"  

• Play board games together that use dice and counting.  

• Read and share stories. Talk about counting, amounts, and the numbers you see in a book, including the page numbers.  

• Ask your child to find numbers when going on a walk. Ask your child, "What numbers can you see?" Talk about house numbers, car number plates and street signs.  

• Talk about the numbers on everyday items such as clocks and phones. Help your child to recall helpful numbers.
