Aim: This webinar will provide you with practical guidance and advice on using language and communication skills to help develop children’s understanding of shapes across all areas of maths in the early years in line with EYFS requirements and recommended best practice. 

Rationale: The ‘Early years foundation stage statutory framework’ states that it’s important that the EYFS curriculum includes rich opportunities for children to develop their reasoning skills across all mathematical areas including shape, space and measure. Understanding shapes is a key building block of mathematical thinking and later life, which will support their mathematical and practical learning.
