Development Matters

40 – 60 Months
(MS-13) Uses familiar objects and common shapes to create and recreate patterns and build models.

Early Learning Goal
(ELG12) Children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.
