Numeracy and the EYFS

This program acquaints you with the ways to support learner’s growing mathematical development. We are surrounded by mathematics and this program aids in finding learning opportunities in day-to-day activities. Get a grip on the mathematical skills and concepts that children are ought to learn from an average age group of 0-7, and play your role in this. This CACHE endorsed program is apt for early years practitioners and parents/carers of young children.

Learning outcomes

You will understand the role of the early years practitioner, parents and carers, and the early years setting in supporting numeracy
You will learn some of the effective and appropriate approaches to early years mathematics
You will understand the importance of adults having an enthusiasm for maths, and not letting negative past experiences or 'maths anxiety' influence the children in your care

Advantages of this course

Mathematics is one of the Specific learning areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the statutory guidance on this important learning area will be explained. If you support children aged 5-7 then the mathematics programmes of study for KS1 in England will also be outlined
You will be able to find activities, ideas, games, and books that will support numeracy in the early years. These are broken down into suitability for the different age groups, and there are also some ideas for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in the Presentation section of the course. The importance of mark making to numeracy, as well as literacy, will also be explored.
In the Good Practice Example section of the course, you will see a practitioner in a real nursery using books to reinforce mathematical skills.
Additional activities encourage you to reflect on your learning
There is also suggested extended reading that gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge

On successful completion of this course, you will have the option of purchasing a CACHE certificate. This certificate must not be confused with nationally regulated qualification achievement.
