Sharing sweets – how many each?

Two four year olds are sharing out some sweets with Mum. She makes it into a game of sweet counting for them.

Good for looking at:

• Mathematical understanding
• Socialising
• Communication
• Effective adult support
• Language development

 

Notice

• What cues can you see that show what the children are interested in? (Look out for non-verbal and body language as well as spoken language)
• How are the children learning?
• Which areas of play, development, engagement and characteristics of learning can you observe?
• In what ways does the adult support the children’s learning?
• How does this everyday activity support the children’s learning?
