Get Set Mathematics Counting: Reception, Ages 4-5

Schofield & Sims Get Set Early Years is a comprehensive and engaging early years scheme that aims to bridge the gap between play and formal learning, helping all children to become school-ready by the end of Reception. Comprising twelve activity books and three accompanying teacher’s guides, Get Set Early Years covers all the Early Learning Goals (ELGs) for Literacy, Mathematics and Understanding the world. Each activity book provides:

• exciting and motivating activities to support classroom teaching
• friendly illustrations to inspire conversation and encourage mark-making
• key vocabulary for each topic area
• notes and tips for parents and carers.

Get Set: Counting develops children’s early understanding of numbers, providing practice in counting, recognising and writing numbers, and sequencing. This book introduces young learners to numbers through a variety of activities, including count the objects, write the number, complete the picture and follow the sequence activities. A separate accompanying teacher’s guide, Get Set Mathematics Teacher’s Guide (ISBN 9780721714356), contains detailed teacher’s notes, links to show corresponding pages in the activity book, and supporting photocopiable resources. A selection of free downloads is also available from the Schofield & Sims website.
