Provocations invite learning, interest and creativity as they allow children to explore, think and use their imaginations. This dip-in-and-out book is linked to the Characteristics of Effective Learning and presents case studies, real-life images and practical pointers. Laura England, an Early Years Teacher, explores the learning that takes place when a child’s play has been inspired by a provocation, including mirrors to investigate symmetry, cardboard boxes to understand shape, and sticks and pebbles to construct their own designs.
