These outdoor activities give the children opportunities to count to 6, 7, and 8 using different contexts and with varied objects in the outdoor environment. Children will learn the composition of each number and find one more and one less.
Activities such as number hunts, active games, model making, and exploring where these numbers can be found in nature support children to understand the numbers in practical and active ways.
