EYFS:
The early years chidlren were exploring maths through play. Some children were creating towers and counting how many bricks were in their tower they also compared the towers and looked to see who had used the most bricks.  Another child was able to count along and telling me one more/one less than a given number using the numer blocks display. The children love number blocks and this display. 
Other children were making cups of tea for the Tiger and discussing capacity using the language full, empty, half full, nearly full.
