Description
These sessions will cover progression in how to use manipulatives across KS2, exploring Bruner’s Enactive, Iconic & Symbolic approach; and also give practical guidance on how children can know more and remember more.
Why should I attend?
Does your school have a Concrete, Pictorial & Abstract approach to the teaching and learning of maths? Is it embedded in all year groups? Would you know how tens frames (both five wise & pairs wise) in Year 1 can be exploited to help patterns in times tables. How might you use Numicon, Cuisenaire Rods & Place Value Counters to teach division or even dividing a fraction by a whole number? This course will explore how manipulatives not only support conceptual understanding, and the ability to develop mathematical language, but can also be used as a challenge.
What the course will cover:
- How Bruner’s Enactive, Iconic & Symbolic theory can be put into practice
- How and why manipulatives need to be used in all year groups
- Progression in the use of manipulatives – from counting, subitising & early patterns through to fractions in KS2.
- How patterns and rules can be physically seen
- How manipulatives can reduce cognitive overload
- How we can soften the curve of forgetfulness (Herman Ebbinghaus) and help children to know more and remember more
- How to support mathematical vocabulary and language development
