Mathematical thinking begins long before children start school. From noticing patterns and shapes to solving problems in play, early maths skills form the foundation for future learning. This engaging course gives practitioners the confidence and tools to nurture children’s natural curiosity with practical, hands-on approaches that make maths meaningful and fun for all ages from 0–5.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, delegates will:
Understand how babies and young children develop early mathematical thinking and why it is essential for lifelong learning.
Recognise and embed mathematical concepts into everyday routines, play, and the learning environment.
Discover practical, playful strategies that make maths engaging and accessible for every child.
Develop skills to foster mathematical conversations, encourage problem-solving, and build confidence in using mathematical language.
Learn to observe, assess, and scaffold children’s mathematical development to provide inclusive and differentiated opportunities for every stage of learning.
Course Delivery
This session is highly interactive, combining theory with real-world practice. Through discussions, examples, and practical activities, delegates will leave with strategies they can immediately implement in their settings to enhance early mathematical development.
