The importance of maths in early years and KS1 is paramount in building the beginnings for future learning. Practitioners need to feel confident to create the context for learning maths through continuous provision and play as well as selecting just the right resources to make learning effective and fun.
Promote early maths, physical development, and self-regulation through the use of simple starting points for learning inside and out. This hands-on, inspiring and interactive course with the insight of Ali McClure also supports social skills and the beginnings of more complex concepts that will help them approach their mathematical learning in the future with curiosity and confidence.
Give each child agency and the oracy skills to explain and discuss the reasoning behind their choices promoting ‘the language of learning for life’ and ‘a mind for maths’.
