Using Numicon & Other Concrete Resources
(Online Zoom)
13th Jun 2022 - 09:15-11:45
Online (Zoom)
This course will discuss the concrete, pictorial and abstract approach and why it is so important for teachers to use manipulatives in the classroom at both KS1 and KS2.
We will explore how different manipulatives (Numicon, Multilink cubes, counters, bead strings, Cuisenaire rods, hundred squares and digit cards) can support conceptual understanding in the primary classroom as well as being developed to be used as a reasoning tool.

Establishing the Foundations in Y1 - 4
(Online Zoom)
27th Jun 2022 - 16:00-17:15
Online (Zoom)
Understanding place value allows children to unlock large and small numbers, as well as calculating. So, ensuring that children are secure with place value is paramount to building a firm foundation on which to link other areas of mathematics. The training will explore the key concepts, structures and patterns essential to developing a deep understanding of place value.
This training would be suitable for teachers and TAs in Years 1-4 as well as subject leaders of mathematics.

Getting to Grips with Mathematics in
Years 3 & 4
(Online Zoom)
28th Jun 2022 - 09:15-11:45
Online (Zoom)
This course will explore key mathematics and pedagogical ideas for Years 3 and 4, underpinned by the aims of the national curriculum and the five big ideas of teaching for mastery.
In particular, the training will focus on considering the big idea of equivalence and how representations that look different can all be linked to the same underlying mathematical idea to support mental calculation.
This training session is suitable for new or experienced teachers in Y3 & 4 looking to develop and strengthen their practice.

Creating a 2022-23 Mathematics
Action Plan
(Online Zoom)
14th Jul 2022 - 16:00-17:15
Online (Zoom)
This twilight session will support subject leaders to review their current position in mathematics and to develop an effective action plan for 2022-23.
The session will include a checklist of the key aspects of mathematics that schools should have in place and how effective current provision is.
Time will then be given to develop an action plan including guidance with individual issues.
