Creative Mathematics Study Day at Sefton Park School

Stronger Practice Hub Event

If you want to put your young mathematicians in the mathematics driving seat, come and explore with us at Sefton Park.

Together, we will look at ways of unlocking the mathematician in every pupil and get the best possible results.

During the day we will:

• Discuss theories of early mathematical development in children
• Play with innovative and high-quality maths resources, including those at Sefton Park and Montessori mathematical equipment, such as the Numbers to 9,999 study box, the Montessori Pink tower, the Understanding Addition study box, and the Equality study box.
• Explore how you create a learning environment where young mathematicians thrive
• Understand how the Reggio approach can be incorporated into the teaching of mathematics
• Create high-quality mathematical resources to use within independent learning, including supporting children with SEND
• Observe children developing mathematical understanding in high-quality independent learning

You will leave with:

• A resource you’ve made that you can use immediately with your children
• A range of ideas for developing high-quality creative mathematics within your independent learning.

The morning will explore pedagogical approaches to mathematics, the anatomy of rapid mathematical development, and the range of resources used to stimulate mathematical play.

The afternoon will include designing and making resources for all children, including those with SEND, and the exploration of strategies to introduce rigorous mathematical learning in independent play.
