How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Working with Numbers to 100 resource encourages children to engage in play-based learning by providing an interactive way to explore numbers and counting. The self-correcting feature allows children to experiment with their answers, fostering curiosity and inquiry as they learn through trial and error in a supportive environment.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This product directly supports the development of early STEM skills by allowing children to practice numerical concepts in a hands-on manner. As they work through the activities, children enhance their problem-solving abilities by identifying and correcting their mistakes, which promotes critical thinking and mathematical understanding.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up a mathematics learning corner where children can use the Working with Numbers to 100 resource alongside other counting materials to reinforce their understanding of numbers. Incorporate the boards into small group activities, allowing children to collaborate and discuss their answers.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to create their own number games using the boards, where they can challenge each other to solve problems and reveal answers. Use the boards during a number scavenger hunt, where children find and write down numbers around the classroom, then check their answers using the self-correcting feature.

Provocation Ideas
Present the boards as part of a mathematics exploration station, inviting children to investigate different ways to represent numbers and engage in peer discussions about their findings. Introduce the boards during a storytelling session where children can illustrate number concepts from the story, reinforcing their understanding through creative expression.
