Description
This one-day training course delivered by Dr Sue Gifford will support practitioners to help children to love maths by developing current practice, interacting sensitively and playfully through routines, games, blockplay, rhymes and picture books, indoors and outdoors. Research shows that using maths talk and vocabulary is important from the very early years. In this training, Sue, will draw on learning trajectories such as Birth to Five Matters and the ECMG Spatial Reasoning Toolkit to help to identify key understanding and language - and to plan enjoyable maths learning experiences for children and practitioners.
