Lunch time – chatting about numbers

A conversation at lunchtime between a 2 and 3 year old with their childminder involves thinking and discussion around numbers and counting.

Good for looking at:

• Socialising and communication
• Language and speech development
• Mathematical thinking
• Understanding the world
• Effective adult support

Notice

• How are the children learning during this relaxed conversation at lunch time?
• Which areas of development, engagement and characteristics of learning can you observe?
• How does the adult support the children’s learning?
