Mini Math(s) from Action mats. Develops mathematical language and confidence in early years

A set of 24 mats – featuring 10 numbers, 10 value dots, 4 maths symbols.

Mini Maths is an exciting opportunity for Early Years children to further develop basic mathematical concepts within a physical environment. Building on any learning done in the classroom, Mini maths harnesses the power of active learning while developing pupils’understanding of maths within a new and engaging environment.

Mini Mats focus on movement and development for Early Years children, encouraging them to work on fine and gross motor skills as well as a range of cerebral challenges.

Written by Early Years practitioners, lesson plans have been specifically developed to be delivered in either a classroom or in a larger space such as a hall or gymnasium. Each lesson contains two activities and explores single digit numbers and values.

All plans follow a similar format with groups of up to eight pupils, and a minimum of one adult, to lead the lessons.

Each Lesson follows a theme that sees pupils complete repetitions of actions and find corresponding numerals and values. This format allows for simplicity of setting up and delivering lessons, as well as repetition for students, which is the bedrock of Early Years learning.

Mini Maths also allows for the development of mathematical language and vocabulary, imperative for further learning and development.

Lessons focus on 山口玲子, collaborative learning and problem solving, vital for being able to apply mathematical understanding in future learning.

Active learning is proven to openup parts of cognitive receptibility in young children and Mini maths is the perfect way to embed learning, movement and high engagement to enrich pupils’ development.
