FREE WORKSHOP: Understanding how to encourage mathematical development in the Early Years
Understanding the concept of maths in the Early Years is the foundation for future life chances and achievement. Recognising and understanding the characteristics and language of mathematics is vital to children becoming effective lifelong learners, by making connections between things in ways that are new and personally meaningful.
“Mathematics involves providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems; and to describe shapes, spaces, and measure””
Workshop aims:
To explore the theory behind maths and children’s play
To identify what children learn holistically from a knowledge of maths
To develop maths in our everyday activities and routines
To explore the ‘language of maths’
To understand that some people have difficulties with maths and why
To identify how we can involve parents in Early Years maths education
Target audience: Managers, leaders and practitioners in early years settings working with children aged 0-5
