Using stories to inspire maths learning = lots of smiles! 📚✨

Maths doesn’t need to be a separate “activity”. Some of the best opportunities come from something you’re probably already doing every day… reading a story.

With just a few simple questions or prompts, you can turn any picture book into a rich maths moment without interrupting the magic of the story.

Here are a few easy ideas to try:

🔢 Counting
“How many bears can you see?”
“Can you find 3 apples?”

📏 Comparing
“Which one is bigger?”
“Who has more?”

📍 Position & language
“Where is the cat hiding?”
“Is it under or behind?”

📊 Predicting & reasoning
“What do you think will happen next?”
“Why did that happen?”

It’s not about getting the “right” answer — it’s about building confidence, curiosity and showing children that maths is everywhere 🤍

Save this for your next story time and give it a try!

Your 3-5 year old will benefit from understanding number bonds to 5… here’s an easy way to do it!

Number bonds are pairs of numbers that make a total (like 2 + 3 = 5). In Reception and Key Stage 1, children spend a lot of time learning number bonds to 5 and 10 because they are the building blocks for addition, subtraction and mental maths later on.

This quick game helps children see and feel the numbers rather than just hearing them.

All you need:
• Your child’s hand
• A few small toys (cars, dinosaurs, Lego figures… anything!)

Place the toys between their fingers to show the parts.
For example: 2 toys on one side, 3 on the other… altogether that makes 5.

Say the maths out loud as you play:
“Two add three equals five.”

This is such a great game because it helps children visualise how numbers fit together — which makes a huge difference to their confidence with maths later on.

Save this one and give it a try over the weekend 🐝

This game will help your 2–5 year old write their name ✍️

It’s so simple AND fun!
✨ Download the bingo cards.
✨ Pour salt into a tray.
✨ Turn over a card and draw the shape.
✨ Match to the Bingo board and continue until there is a winner!

Practising straight and curved lines builds the foundations for letter formation — and strengthens fine motor skills at the same time.

🌊 Ocean Week at Number Buzz 🐠

Scroll through to see the varied learning through play we explored last week 👀✨

From counting and comparing to recognising numbers and talking about shape, size and quantity — these experiences help children build a strong, positive understanding of maths before they even start school. And just as importantly, they help parents feel confident supporting maths at home too 🤍

If this kind of playful, purposeful learning is something you’d like for your little one, come and join us:
