Nursery activities

What memories from school does the word 'maths' conjure up? My wife and I went to different schools, but have similar memories: endlessly working through Alpha and Beta textbooks. For me this meant maths was a tedious subject, and something to be avoided. My wife had a different view - she loved it! It gave her feelings of security, knowing what to expect, and progressing through the textbooks. We need to give children an enjoyable experience of mathematics at the Foundation Stage, so they are left with a positive impression of the subject. ICT helps them achieve this goal.
