As I child growing I vaguely remember learning mathematical ideas. Unfortunately, it is common for adults to have lasting negative ideas about mathematics due to the way in which the concepts were presented to us as children. Is it therefore very important that we are able to scaffold children's learning in such a way that they do not feel confused or lose their enthusiasm for mathematics. Children who are learning mathematical skills need supportive adults who recognise the importance of this and are able to foster feelings of interest and achievement in the subject.
The three main reasons why early years practitioners should scaffold children’s early mathematical development is to:
• Build their confidence-adults should always encourage
