Maths - Match, Sort and Compare

This week we have been having lots of fun with our maths learning as we began our ‘Match, Sort and Compare’ unit. The children have been exploring how to match identical objects, sort objects into groups, and compare different groups. We have used lots of practical resources and learning through play, encouraging the children to look closely, talk about what they notice, and explain their thinking. We have been exploring different ways to sort objects, including by colour, size, shape and type, and using mathematical language such as same, different, more and fewer. It has been lovely to see the children developing their confidence and beginning to explain why objects belong together.
