Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy:
This area of children's development covers:
- Building up ideas about how many, how much, how far and how big;
- Building up ideas about patterns, the shape of objects and parts of objects, and the amount of space taken up by objects;
- Starting to understand that numbers help us to answer questions about how many, how much, how far and how big;
- Building up ideas about how to use counting to find out how many; and
- Being introduced to finding the result of adding more or taking away from the amount we already have.
