How it went from your perspective
•
What you observed during the reading and in the activity
that followed the reading
•
Any insights from children’s maths talk
•
What you might continue doing or do differently next time.

Everyday routines such as shared snack time, lining up, calling the
roll, and tidying up can provide opportunities for counting and
comparison as well as addition, subtraction, sharing, and time
problems.
Maths in daily routines
7
With a partner share:
•
How you already include maths in your
classroom routines or other learning areas.
•
Where there may be opportunities in routines
or other learning areas for you to include
maths.
Discuss
8
•
Provide a range of resources for children to explore areas of
maths through play.
•
Resources can include manipulatives, loose parts, measuring
items (such as scales and measuring cups), construction
materials, puzzles, sorting and pattern materials.
Teachable moments during play

Think, pair, share: Maths throughout the day
1.
Look at your planning for the next few weeks.
What are the maths learning objectives?
What concepts will you be focusing on?
2.
Brainstorm how you can support the maths
learning objectives in other learning areas,
routines, or play.
3.
Select an action/activity from your
brainstorm and complete a rapid action plan.
4.
Discuss your action plan with a partner and
ask for their feedback and ideas.
5.
Share plans as a group.

We’ll start the next session with your
reflections on how you’ve included maths
throughout the day.
