Develop mathematical subject knowledge and pedagogy

What is involved?

This programme is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all teachers who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching primary maths. There are two types of SKTM Early Years pathways: Number, and Spatial Reasoning. Each pathway consists of the equivalent of four days, spread out over a minimum of two terms. Professional learning and practice development continue throughout, with participants introducing new ideas into their daily practice.

Who can take part?

This project is for Early Years teachers who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths to Reception pupils. It may be particularly relevant for teachers who have moved phases, or who have not received maths-specific training.

Benefits

• Your pupils will demonstrate a positive attitude towards maths, being willing to have a go, persevere, and share their mathematical ideas
• You will explore and increase your use of a range of pedagogic approaches that will support pupils in engaging with and developing their maths
• You will understand how maths opportunities can be developed across all areas and in everyday routines

The programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme, so is free to participating state-funded schools.
