Early Years Maths workshops

This workshop brings together Early Years practitioners from a range of educational backgrounds and working within diverse settings to explore best practice in Early Years Mathematics. The workshop provides an opportunity for delegates to be brought up to date with research and policy developments in the learning and teaching of early Mathematics. Clear links are made between the contents of the course and the requirements of the revised EYFS framework. A University lecturer and Early Years Practitioners supports delegates to make links between theory and practice and provide practical examples of what works well.
