Suitable for 0-4 years: Early numeracy skills: how to develop them

 About numeracy and maths skills

Numeracy is the ability to recognise and apply maths concepts in all areas of life.

Numeracy skills involve understanding numbers, counting, solving number problems, measuring, estimating, sorting, noticing patterns, adding and subtracting numbers, and so on.

Children and adults need numeracy and maths skills to do everyday things like:

• solve problems – for example, have I got time to walk to school?
• analyse and make sense of information – for example, how many wins does my team need to get to the top of the competition?
• understand patterns – for example, what number would the next house in this street be?
• make choices – for example, which bike is the best value?
