Today preschool have been learning about Numberblock 10, the final number that we teach in nursery. That can only mean one thing, it is getting close to the time when when our children will be leaving us to start at school! We started our number journey way back in September, learning about number 1 and have been introducing the next number on a regular basis once the children have developed a sound knowledge of the previous number. Learning about numbers is the process of building "number sense"—an intuitive and practical understanding of how quantities work. It involves far more than simply memorizing and reciting names; it is a step-by-step progression of foundational cognitive and practical skills. The process of learning about numbers involves mastering several key stages and concepts: Number words and reciting, number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, cardinality, comparison and magnitude, operations, decomposition and composition, and everyday application. Our children have made excellent progress over the last few months and with the help of the Numberblocks have become maths whizzes! They all love numbers and will often make up their own number problems, comparing the number of girls and boys or asking mathematical questions. "Does two and two make four?" Well done preschool, we are super-proud of what you have achieved!
