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

The transition from Reception to Year 1 is a significant one for both children and teachers. It is important to provide a gradual transition in both curriculum content and learning provision that helps children to be confident in, and enjoy, mathematics.

On this course you will:

• look at how to use the information from the Foundation Stage Profile
• consider how to balance the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and the Renewed Framework for Teaching Mathematics for Year 1
• look at the appropriate classroom environment for Year 1 and how it should interface with, and develop, what was experienced in Reception
• discuss the importance of using practical apparatus
• address the developing need for differentiation
