Mastery of Mathematics in Early Years Foundation Stages

This teacher professional development course is designed to:

1. Develop a deep understanding of teaching and learning mathematics in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
2. Foster a shift in teacher mindset regarding the teaching and learning of mathematics.
3. Provide a practical understanding of lesson structure and learning experiences for teaching in the Early Years.
4. Explain how the Maths — No Problem! Foundations programme supports mathematical development in the Early Years.

Educators will leave the course with a comprehensive understanding of mathematics teaching and learning in the early years. By working through real school lessons, where teachers assume the role of students, participants will gain empathy for the learning process.

The course aims to equip teachers with both the necessary content knowledge and the pedagogical content knowledge to teach young pupils, enabling them to meet the Early Learning Goals and establish a solid foundation in mathematics.
