A course for Foundation Stage practitioners, Key Stage 1 and Year 3 teachers and mathematics subject leaders

There has been much reference to children’s own ways of recording in the EYFS curriculum and the Renewed Framework for Teaching Mathematics. It is important to translate this into effective practice in the classroom or Early Years setting so we can nurture and develop children’s intuitive methods on paper.

On this course you will:

• examine the latest research into children’s mathematical symbols
• look at case studies of children’s mathematical graphics
• discuss the relevance of the EYFS curriculum to maths teaching
• explore play environments that support children’s mathematical thinking
• analyse children’s mathematical representations
• review your written methods policy
• consider the implications for teaching
