Maths Matters More Than Ever! Free Mini-Conference With Guest Speaker Dr Sue Gifford and Maths Workshops

Engineers House Clifton Down, Bristol, United Kingdom

Stronger Practice Hub Event

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.
