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.

Toy phones, old phones and mobile phones with lists of telephone numbers available can be used in any situation, to identify and use sequences of numbers.
