A Beach for Albert - Maths Storybook Lessons for EYFS

Want to develop a strong understanding of capacity, mass, volume and size with comparison and exploration activities? These 5 short lessons support the reading of the Maths picture book ‘A’ Beach for Albert’ by Eleanor May from the Mouse Math series. The lesson is designed with early learning goals in mind - so beneath each lesson input on the plan you will find a daily activity task idea to set up for guided play and exploration.

A fun, practical fusion of reading comprehension, Maths and independent investigation, the children will be super engaged with these hands-on and practical capacity related investigations. A fun way to introduce the concept of capacity; this lesson includes supporting resources found in most early learning classrooms (see below for details).
