This project is designed to support Early Years teachers in developing specialist knowledge for teaching mathematics, thus enabling them to understand, teach and support pupils with their mathematics across the provision.
There are two types of SKTM Early Years pathway. London SW Maths Hub are offering a cohort for each pathway:
-
Pathway One: Number Patterns and Structures - Fully booked
-
Pathway Two: Pattern, Shape, Space and Measures - places available
Each pathway has three maths sessions, three associated pedagogy sessions and a task to complete between sessions based on an action research cycle.
Participants and their schools will:
-
Develop enhanced maths subject knowledge with a particular emphasis on developmental progression in the Early Years to ensure sequences of learning are cohesive
-
Consider the learning opportunities and pedagogical approaches across the wider provision – reviewing and enhancing the opportunities to promote mathematical learning across the provision
Each cohort/pathwaywill be run across six afternoons. Session times 1.30 pm – 3.30pm
All sessions have been designed to take place online allowing greater flexibility for staff with no travel commitments.
