Little Red Hen supports the early learning goals for Numeracy in the following ways

• The children use number names in order and up to 5 and in the context of the story.
• They will help the characters count seeds, stepping stones and corn up to number 10.
• They will help characters  to solve practical maths problems regarding sharing and equal parts.
• They will be asked to consider concepts such as ‘more’ or ‘less’ and ‘bigger’ or ‘smaller’ throughout the programme
• They will be encouraged to talk about, recognise and repeat simple patterns in the story.
• The children will be introduced to the concept of time through the idea of how long bread takes to bake and how long a seed takes to grow.
