Counting, matching and simple shapes make up a three-year-old's first encounter with maths, and an activity book keeps that encounter hands-on.
Sixty-four pages of exercises move from recognising numbers to early counting and pattern work, with space on the page for a child to trace, circle and colour. The tasks are short by design, which lets an adult sit through one page at a time and stop before the child loses interest in the whole idea.
Why it works at home:
• Sixty-four pages of maths activities in paperback
• Number recognition, counting and shape work covered
• Room on the page for tracing and colouring
• Written for children from three years upwards
A practical starting point for parents at home and for pre-school classrooms, available at Boipoka.
