Specialist Knowledge for the Teaching of Mathematics Programme - Reception Teachers
Project Code: 26-25
Who can take part?
This programme is for Reception teachers who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths. It would be particularly valuable for a Reception teacher and their teaching assistant colleague to attend the programme together.
What is involved?
This one-year programme supports Reception teachers to develop specialist knowledge for teaching maths, and use a teaching for mastery approach as exemplified in the NCETM's Essence of Mathematics Teaching for Mastery.
It will enable participants to explore number, share, space and pattern. Reception teachers (and teaching assistants) will also explore how children's learning in all these areas can be supported through the development of oracy, spatial reasoning and executive function.
What will you learn?
Your pupils will be able to communicate their maths and mathematical thinking.
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 in everyday routines.
What is the cost?
The programme is fully funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to participating schools.
