apple Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi all... I want to pick your brains if I may Got to do a display with our nursery for the main school entrance; the theme is maths through stories. We know lots of number rhymes but need a story set around maths (not the Hungry caterpillar as we have already done that). I would especially welcome ideas on shape, space or measures... Any ideas?

michaelle Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I was going to suggest my mum and dad make me laugh too as there is lots of pattern work. What about a class collaboration of Kandiskys concentric circles - Quick to do and very effective ( you could always do a different shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hiya - Here's a list of books that link well to maths: http://www.sparkleplus.co.uk/books/maths.html (This is just a useful list with links to Amazon if you want to buy them - I realy hope people don't mind me posting it, I just think it's helpful for you!). I also reccommend 'my mum and dad make me laugh' as mentioned abobe - it's a great book for pattern! SB:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
