Maintaining Challenge for Numerical Patterns within 10 | Early Years

This webinar will provide headteachers, mathematics leads, teachers and teaching assistants with advice and practical tools to help pupils explore numerical patterns, and use reasoning and problem-solving to expand thinking and develop understanding, aligned with statutory guidance.

The Early years foundation stage statutory framework states that ‘a strong grounding in numbers is essential so that all children develop the necessary building blocks to excel mathematically’, and sets an early learning goal for numerical patterns, which includes being able to recognise the pattern of the counting system, and understand comparison of quantities, evens and odds, double facts and equal distribution of quantities.

In this webinar, Julie Lush, specialist mathematics consultant for primary schools, will explain the early learning goal for numerical patterns, and identify a range of activities which facilitate progression towards the goal, and challenge all pupils, including the most gifted mathematicians.
