Guest Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I found a number sack on amazon that my class have really enjoyed, great for 'playing and exploring' and 'critical thinking'. I used it as stimulus for maths circle time inititally and then added it to number area, led to lots of problem solving. I now need another one! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Early-Years-Sensory-Number-Rhyme/dp/B009JTMBBY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349503941&sr=8-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
