Maths/Number Day Fun

We retold the story of “A Squash and a Squeeze”, by Julia Donaldson. It is a great story,  it is about an old lady who doesn’t think her house is big enough for her to live in, until the wise old man helps her to understand that it is! The children could see the numbers going up as each character came into the house, and could see the numbers going down as they left! They also enjoyed playing the story independently - which was great to see!
Just playing? I don’t think so! Maths in action!
