'STOP Teaching Children to Calculate Using Counting!'
Why, when we teach number bonds to 10 in the Early Years, are so many of our 7-11 year olds calculating by counting 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?

Join us for EYMaths on Tour:
Your unique opportunity to join Karen Wilding, live and in-person, and discover what's missing from your 'Number Sense Tool Box'
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
This is your unique opportunity undestand why failure to give our children 'Essential Number Sense' is a whole school problem and one we must address together as team
What Will You Learn?
As a result of this 3-hour, information-packed session, (4 hours including networking breaks), you will come away:
-
Understanding why so many of our children are still reaching later primary years (and moving into secondary and then adulthood) without calcuation fluency as a result of being taught to calculate using counting and why this approach DOES NOT meet curriculum requirements
-
The key tools YOU need to teach calculation fluency that will become the basis of your approach to teaching all aspects of 'Number' in the Early Years (and, for those teaching older children, the 'rescue' plan for those children in later years who are missing these crucial 'tools'
-
A clear understanding of what this looks like in practice - how to plan for successful, engaging learning every day that meets the requirements of the curriculum
BONUS MATERIALS: 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!
