Get Set Mathematics: Counting, Early Years Foundation Stage, Ages 4-5 (Paperback)

Schofield & Sims Get Set Early Years is a comprehensive and engaging early years scheme that aims to bridge the gap between play and formal learning, helping all children to become school-ready by the end of Reception. Comprising twelve activity books and three accompanying teacher's guides, Get Set Early Years covers all the Early Learning Goals (ELGs) for Literacy, Mathematics and Understanding the world. Carefully designed to appeal to young children, each activity book page contains two stimulating activities for children to complete, such as matching, complete the picture, connect the dots, mazes, picture sequencing, colour by sound and odd one out. Additional features include a `Teaching Tip', `Notes for parents and carers' and `Key Vocabulary' and `Extension activity' sections to reinforce classroom learning. Get Set: Counting develops children's early understanding of numbers, providing practice in counting, recognising and writing numbers, and sequencing. This book introduces young learners to numbers through a variety of activities, including count the objects, write the number, complete the picture and follow the sequence activities. A separate accompanying teacher's guide, Get Set Maths Teacher's Guide (ISBN 9780721714356), contains detailed teacher's notes, links to show corresponding pages in the activity book, and supporting photocopiable resources. A selection of free downloads, including a `Handwriting chart' and a `Learning diary', is also available from the Schofield & Sims website.
