'Why We Need to STOP Teaching Children to Calculate Using Counting' (and what we need to do instead!)

Why, when we teach number bonds to 10 in the Early Years, are so many of our 7-11 year olds struggling and continuing to count in 1's (using their fingers or ‘head bobbing’ along an imaginary number line)?
What’s gone wrong?
And what do we need to do to fix it?
Walk into any classroom of 7-11 year olds and you'll witness children 'counting in 1s' on their fingers (or 'head bobbing' along an imaginary number line).
But this isn't calculating; it's counting
What we're witnessing here is just one (of many) crucial key pieces of evidence that we've not given our children the essential 'Number Sense' tools they need to work fluently and confidently in Mathematics.
The consequence of this on their progress, confidence and enjoyment of Maths is huge (and lasts a lifetime).
The answer? NOT more investment in schemes (or 'scheme-hopping' as is becoming the trend as we search for the silver bullet)... but instead, investment in those who are teaching the Maths.
Give practitioners the essential tools they need to understand the Maths themselves and teach in the way children learn Maths
And this starts in the Early Years
Join Karen and come away understanding how EASILY we can give our children
'Essential Number Sense' and why it needs to start in the Early Years
What will you take away from this unique training?
As a result of this exciting and transformational training you will learn:
-
Why it is subitising, the natural skill we're all born with (and NOT counting), that enables us to build essential number sense
-
The vital role of 'noticing' to develop both perceptual and conceptual subitising using natural and manmade objects
- How to develop your children's language and communication and build their ability to explain and demonstrate their mathematical thinking
-
How subitising then leads to use of 5 and 10 frames, to give children clear and easy to use concept images that enable them to understand numbers 0-10, teen numbers and beyond
- How it is conceptual subitising (and NOT counting) that enables a child to understand part/whole and then add and subtract with ease
- How to make teaching and sharpening these essential Number Sense' tools exciting and meaningful so that your children (and YOU will love!)
SPECIAL BONUS: Attendees will also receive a downloadable pack of supporting resources to enabling them to take immediate action back in class.

Emma Edwards, Nursery Teacher, UK
'My children and staff team are now exploring Mathematical opportunities right throughout their nursery day. From self registration to discussing ‘where they live’ on our birthday broad. The language is coming and their confidence is building. They surprise me every day with their comments, opinions and views. #wowbombs all over the place!
I can't wait to meet you in person!
