In response to Bold Beginnings: EYFS Mathematics

Led By Sharon Day Maths Ltd

Mathematics is not as well planned for as literacy, according to the findings of the OFSTED report: ‘Bold Beginnings’. This course will support you in making good decisions for the maths curriculum for Reception in your school. We will look at:

• how to create a scheme of work for maths for Reception
• which parts of mathematics can be learned through experiences, as part of long-term acquired learning (utilising Continuous Provision and daily routines) and which have to be actively taught
• how to develop early fluency through exploring subitising and conservation of number
• the use of game playing to promote reasoning and problem solving
• how to use different styles of questioning to promote greater depth thinking in children who grasp concepts rapidly
