Maths Added Value Network for EYFS

Primary Schools in Halton, Warrington and Wigan can join a Maths Hub Added Value Network starting on 9th November 2022.

All three Maths Hubs and three Teaching School Hubs in our region have come together to offer an additional opportunity for primary schools to engage in Maths Hub resources. The offer is ideal for EYFS practitioners (teachers and teaching assistants), EYFS leads, Foundation Stage managers and senior staff.

The Project ‘Building Firm Foundations’ is a tried and tested programme has proven to be a huge success across hundreds of schools. Due to increased demand for this programme and responding to feedback from schools we are offering the following added value network of 2.5 days support over Autumn, Spring and Summer terms in 2022/23.

It is ideal for EYFS practitioners (teachers and teaching assistants), EYFS leads, Foundation Stage managers and senior staff.

Building Firm Foundations supports the Teaching for Mastery agenda in developing the knowledge and practice of Reception year practitioners to ensure that all children develop a secure foundation in maths and are well prepared for teaching for mastery in Key Stage 1.

Participants will consider how to build clear progression in mathematical concepts and how to make these accessible to young children. Attention will be given to appropriate pedagogy, in particular the nature of direct teaching within an Early Years context.

It aims to support schools in providing a consistent message about high quality maths provision in the Early Years and how this provision supports progression into the next phase of learning.

Attendees will develop an understanding of how to link teaching in EYFS and the TfM (The 5 big ideas) in Year 1.

The 2 ½ days training is as follows:

Autumn term (full day, 9am-3pm, face to face) Wednesday 9th November at Omega MAT, Great Sankey, WA5 3ZJ OR
Spring term (1/2 days online follow up session) Date TBC
Summer term (full day, face to face) Date TBC

The price for the 2.5 day network and the expert input from the Maths Hub is only £200 per person, to contribute towards the direct cost of delivering this network; the full cost is being subsidised by the organisers.
