The books are clearly laid out, with one activity per page, attractive illustrations and cross references to popular early years topics. Written by experienced early years practitioners, these books will be an invaluable resource for anyone working with 3-5 year olds. This book contains activities for the prime area of Personal, Social and Emotional Development and the specific areas of Understanding the World and Mathematics. The activities will encourage children to develop self-confidence; to form positive attitudes and relationships; and to learn how to manage their feelings and behaviour within a group. They offer opportunities for children to experience their environment and community; to explore, observe and find out about people, animals and places; to investigate and experiment; and to begin to use technology.They will help children to develop and improve skills in counting, addition and subtraction; in understanding and using numbers; in problem solving; and in describing and comparing shapes, spaces and measures.
