Additional 'Live' Numeracy Training
Session: An Introduction to Multiplication and Division at Early Level
Date: 07.05.20
Time: 14:00 - 15:00
Target Audience: Teachers, PSAs, EYPs. ELC, Primary, Secondary, ASN
Session Aims:
Recognise multiplication and division opportunities within real & play contexts at EARLY LEVEL
Explore word problems as a means of providing a meaningful CONTEXT to support understanding.
Identify the differences between grouping and sharing
Raise awareness of the need to work flexibly within the teaching model
Recognise the variety of language used at Early Level
Raise awareness of the links to other areas of maths e.g. patterns, language, addition/subtraction, number word sequences etc.
Explore and evaluate the range of resources we can use for multiplication & division.
Notes:
This is the first in a three-part series on An Introduction to Multiplication and Division. We recommend that to get a better grasp of the progression, you attend all three sessions and not just the level you are currently teaching.
Session: An Introduction to the Language of Maths (Part 1: Early)
Date: 12.05.20
Time: 14:00 - 15:00
Target Audience: Teachers, PSAs, EYPs. ELC, Primary, Secondary, ASN
Session Aims:
Raise awareness of maths language used within our daily interactions
Identify daily opportunities where we can develop maths language and enhance understanding
Improve confidence to use WORDS UP key messages for maths
Identify an aspect of our practice we would like to develop
Agree next steps for our setting/class
Notes:
This is the first in a two-part introductory series on the Language of Maths. We recommend that to get a better grasp of the progression, you attend both sessions and not just the level you are currently teaching.
You will find this course makes more sense if you have already access the Words Up Key Messages Training.

Session: An Introduction to the Language of Maths (Part 2: Primary and Secondary)
Date: 14.05.20
Time: 14:00 - 15:00
Target Audience: Teachers, PSAs, EYPs. ELC, Primary, Secondary, ASN
Session Aims:
Explore how understanding etymology and morphology can help us make better sense of language and build connections.
Explore how the use of Frayer Models can improve understanding of mathematical language.
Notes:
Frayer Models can be used for other subject areas too e.g. literacy, science, technology, geography etc. so these could be used across the curriculum - they are not exclusive to maths!
This is the second in a two-part introductory series on the Language of Maths. We recommend that to get a better grasp of the progression, you attend both sessions and not just the level you are currently teaching.
