Making Maths Fun!
Music, like maths, is based on recurring patterns and sequences. Research has shown that participating in music activities boosts mathematical thinking and skills. Our Maths Music Programme includes lots of exciting music activities that help develop early number sense and make maths fun.

Creative counting
Understanding the concept of zero: yes that’s tricky. Understanding that mummy duck’s babies have gone and she is all alone: that is something most children can relate to! Songs about ducks, pirates and toes give children an exciting way to practice counting that fires their imaginations and makes learning easy!
Do you like going to the beach? Let’s pack a bag and remember the sequence of objects. Do you like banging a drum? Let’s play a follow-the-leader game and develop our sense of pattern.
Have a listen and find out how you can have fun with music and maths.
Little Ducky
This uptempo version of a children’s classic, provides a creative and engaging way for children to practise and improve their skills in counting numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems. The story also provides a context for learning more about ducks and their habitats and to explore ideas around family and togetherness.Download ‘Hey Hey, Say It Again’ and discover a fun way to help children learn about number bonds
This uptempo action song keeps energetic children engaged while they explore number bonds to 10. Having something physical to signify the number bonds helps children understand the concept. I used carrot sticks…. munch them up at the end of the song and get a vitamin boost too! The song resource includes a song mp3, teacher notes and a video.

Testimonials
After reading the programme pack notes and watching the videos provided with the Boogie Mites programme I now understand the importance of music and singing for all children's holistic development. I feel much more confident in how to deliver the sessions, safe in the knowledge it had been tried and tested successfully by other practitioners.
Boogie Mites is now permanently scheduled into our daily planning and we are looking at extending the training to our parents. It's such an easy and fun way of re-enforcing the delivery of the EYFS and the benefits are numerous.
A group of girls and boys have learned the words and actions to the songs and this has become a child-initiated activity during the morning now - lovely to see! The accompanying notes are super, a practitioner can very quickly learn how to lead the songs and the learning intentions are clearly highlighted.
