Mastery of Mathematics in Early Years Foundation Stages

This professional development course is designed to nurture:

1. A deep understanding of teaching and learning mathematics in the Early Years Foundation Stage as defined by the DfE’s Statutory Framework
2. A practical understanding of lesson structure and learning experiences to help children develop positive attitudes and interests in mathematics
3. An expert level of understanding of the topic of teaching mathematics so that all children develop the necessary building blocks to excel mathematically

Educators will leave the course with a deep understanding of the teaching and learning of mathematics in the Early Years. Working through real school lessons, where they become the students, educators will have the opportunity to learn and explore through expert modelling.

This course looks to equip teachers with the necessary content and pedagogical knowledge to teach young pupils in order for them to secure a strong grounding in mathematical development and meet the numerical early learning goals.

This course is intended for primary school teachers who want to learn the essentials of the mastery approach to teaching mathematics in the Early Years Foundation Stage. This course is an excellent next step after the three-day Essentials of Teaching Maths Mastery, therefore it is strongly recommended that participants attend that course before registering for this one.
