Get Set Mathematics Space and Measure: 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: Space and Measure introduces children to the many ways in which things can be measured. This book explores concepts such as big and small, over and under, near and far, long and short, light and heavy, and full and empty. 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.
