North Berwick, Humbie and Sanderson’s Wynd Nurseries participated in a pilot to explore ‘The Maths Pyramid for Babies and Young Children’:
The purpose of the pyramid is to:
- understand the breadth of experience required for young children to develop mathematical thinking
- articulate a clear rational for the activities used to develop mathematical thinking in nurseries
The pilot group then took a closer look at PROBLEM SOLVING using the models below:
The purpose of these models are to:
- understand the stages in problems solving
- understand the breadth of experience required for young children to develop as effective problem solvers
- articulate a clear rational for the activities used to develop problem solving in nurseries
