Hi, for all of these you need to look at your setting's resources/toys and all of the activities that you do.
Using your knowledge of the setting, what books, toys, wall displays, posters, rulers, other measures, games do you have that have written/raised/signed numerals on .. how are they used, to chat to the children and to play with?
Children are able to recognise a number's shape and form by being able to see it, trace, touch/mouth it, become familiar with it and then gradually they will be able to identify it independantly - recognise it
Counting activities .. what games do you play that counts 1 2 3 4 5 and on? What books allow you to count with the children, what activities do you all plan for childrens counting skills - eg: writing numbers on pieces of foam/washing up pads with a permanent marker to float in the water tray or hide under snow maybe, counting out slices of apple for a snack ..
Sorting and matching involves words such as same, similar, things that have an association with each other for one reason or another and to move. What toys, resources and activities do you have and play with that matches or sorts items into groups - this could be for colour, size, shape, their use?
Coloured pegs/beads/balls ..
sorting activities
Play knives, forks and spoons in a cutlery tray in your role play area? Snack bowls and cups, train wheels to tracks,
Older children may be asked to match their coat to a peg on the wall that has their name beside it.
Younger children may enjoy
Shape sorters,
Colour matching toys, lotto and other image matching games.
Cars,
animals, plastic/real food can be sorted, matched and grouped depending on size, type, colour, taste maybe .. moving them together gives a visual and tactile association between all the items you've placed in the groups ..
