Stronger Practice Hub Event
Block Play is a fundamental and integral part of early childhood education. So open-ended and full of endless possibilities! This will be a first-hand, hands-on, experiential session with opportunities to playfully explore Block Play.

Number is so much more than asking the question “How many…?” Subitising is a fundamental skill in developing number sense so we will consider what it is and how to use it to develop children’s understanding of the relationships between numbers.

The Power of Pattern – how recognising patterns and structures supports all areas of mathematics. Pattern is a defining quality of mathematics, and children’s pattern awareness is a key predictor of later maths learning. Almost all mathematics is based on pattern and structure, and helping children recognise the regularities and relationships in all sorts of patterns helps them “make sense” of mathematics. We will consider the diverse forms of pattern, progression in repeating patterns, and key experiences that support pattern understanding – helping children be pattern spotters and problem-solvers!

“Understanding spatial relationships begins at birth” ( Erikson, 2014 ) and we use our bodies and sensory experiences, gesture and language, memory and modelling, pictures and drawings to understand and map the world around us. We will consider the key aspects of spatial reasoning and how best to support children’s learning trajectories through a maths-rich practice and provision. We will touch upon shape and space, mapping and navigation, and visualisation and representation.

There is an urgent call to improve children’s outcomes, develop positive attitudes to mathematics, address high levels of maths anxiety in the early years workforce, and develop high-quality, maths-rich, playful pedagogy! Mathematics is empowering and joyful and ALL children are entitled to develop confidence and competence across all areas of maths. Early Years maths is the strongest predictor of later school achievement – more than reading and attention skills. Maths needs to be as much of a priority as language and communication, directly impacting on each child’s educational progress and life chances.

Come and join Dr Helen Williams and our expert panel in a dynamic conversation about how to create a playful, maths-rich pedagogy and provision. A provision that is open, active, and flexible—full of challenging tasks and interesting maths tools—allows children to develop their own playful inquiry and understanding of mathematical concepts.
Stronger Practice Hub Event
This networking session is for educators who have attended any of the Maths regional events with the Stronger Practice Hub. This is a great opportunity to learn from each other across a huge variety of continual professional development (CPD) and settings in our region.
