A Mathematically Rich Environment: Developing Mathematical Thinking in Early Years Settings
A one day course for teachers and practitioners in nurseries, schools and other under fives settings.
‘We are all of us, at all ages, already highly skilled mathematicians. We just haven’t often learned it in our mathematics lessons’
Lewis (1996: Discovering Mathematics with 4-7 year olds)
Aims of the mathematics curriculum: Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language’
Curriculum Reform and Mathematics (DFE 2013)
We will focus on:
The Characteristics of Effective Learning are interwoven throughout all aspects of this course.

We will focus on:
- Becoming confident and excited mathematicians.
- How the environment, indoors and outdoors promotes mathematical thinking and all aspects of learning within mathematics.
- The importance of continuous provision and how it helps to embed learning and develop skills.
- How creativity and critical thinking are integral to mathematics.
- ‘Seeing’ mathematics in play and the rich legacy of research that underpins mathematical development, play, and learning.
- How self-regulation supports the development of mathematical thinking, knowledge and skills.
- Effective partnership with parents.
- Assessing progress: EYFS and KS1
