This project will equip you to identify, understand, observe and trial the key features involved in designing effective practice for Early Years mathematics.  The focus will be on what effective EY maths pedagogy is and how this develops into a ‘Teaching for Mastery’ approach in later years.

 

Children learn by making sense of mathematics and by constructing networks of understanding. Encouraging them to find their own ways of expressing what they have learned, practically or verbally, through gesture, drawing, symbolising and writing, allows them to make these connections, communicate with others and so deepen their understanding", Sue Gifford (NRICH, 2018).

 

Audience

School based practitioners who are in their first few years of teaching in the Early Years or who have recently moved into Nursery or Reception.  Also teachers looking for time to examine their own practice and strengthen where necessary.
