Why should I attend?
-
You wish to be more confident in using Numicon
-
If you find planning for children with learning difficulties in maths challenging
-
Your children are struggling to retain or make sense of key concepts
-
You are aware of the range of manipulatives and images that are available to support learners in maths
-
You want to encourage learners to be independent in maths a challenge
What will the course cover?
-
Relate theory and research into classroom practice
-
Explore the difficulties experienced by learners with gaps in their mathematical understanding
-
Use a range of strategies to ensure children retain understanding and therefore support their short and long-term memory
-
Consider how a range of manipulatives can support children in developing their conceptual understanding and thus avoid the pitfalls of abstract teaching and learning
-
Develop opportunities for children to visualise mathematics
-
Investigate the importance and development of comparisons, pattern seeking and generalisations.
-
Consider ways to develop children’s mathematical vocabulary; developing their speech and language
-
Exploit every day and real-life mathematics.
