How this product aligns with the EYLF

Supporting play-based learning and inquiry
The Learn to Count Wall Chart encourages children to engage in play-based learning by providing a visual and interactive resource for exploring numbers. As children match the colourful objects with their corresponding numbers, they are invited to inquire about quantity, patterns, and relationships, promoting a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts through hands-on experience.

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
This wall chart serves as a foundational tool for developing early STEM skills by introducing children to numeracy in a tangible way. As they interact with the chart, children can experiment with counting, comparing quantities, and recognising numerical patterns, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in a playful context.

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
Display the Learn to Count Wall Chart in a designated maths corner to encourage independent exploration of numbers during free play. Use the chart as a reference point during group discussions about counting and number recognition.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to create their own number games using the wall chart, such as matching games or scavenger hunts for objects that correspond to the numbers displayed. Incorporate the chart into storytelling sessions where children can count items related to the story, reinforcing numeracy through narrative.

Provocation Ideas
Invite children to explore the concept of numbers by asking them to find and group objects around the classroom that match the numbers on the chart. Use the wall chart as a starting point for a collaborative art project where children create their own number representations using various materials.
