The Yorkshire Ridings Early Years Maths Hub Project

Introductions Rob Newton and Cheryl Duck Pickering Community Infant and Nursery School Let’s play a game!

Activity Can you get me hachi objects? Can you prove that you have hachi object by counting them starting at ichi? Pick a handful of objects and tell me how many you have. I’m going to give you a group of objects, how many have I given you? Pair up, take a group of objects each. How many more do you have than your partner?

Activity What made the task easy? What made the task difficult? Would it have been helpful if you had known something else first? What would have made it easier? How does this relate to what children in their early years (3-5 years old) experience?

The Project Why? Work on learning outcomes. Small steps Problem solving as integral Useful resource in Key Stage One to support mathematics Gaps in understanding (children may be able to do things with little understanding) Upskill and support staff An opportunity to widen work of Maths Hub A large part of work at our school over the last 3 years has been to focus on learning outcomes and the small steps children need to take to be able to achieve within the Early Years and Key Stage One curriculum.

How? Collaborating with two other schools – Ireland Wood in Leeds and Settrington. Settings structured differently to each other. Involving nursery and reception practitioners as well as Numbers Count teacher. 16

Calculating – addition and subtraction Problem solving Numerals Areas covered: Counting Calculating – addition and subtraction Problem solving Numerals The ness of a number Steps in learning have been written for these areas. Examples of skill based activities using classroom resources and across the different areas of provision. Using and applying opportunities across all learning areas. The final resource will be available for schools to download, use and adapt as appropriate for their school. 17

Counting Process involved Sharing of steps 18

Addition End of year expectation for the Early Years: Children count reliably with numbers from one to twenty, place them in order and say which number is one more and one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects they add and subtract two single digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing. 19

How can you be involved? Access the resource online www.yorkshireridingsmathshub.co.uk Opportunities to visit school to see the impact on our foundation stage and discuss implementation. Look out for further details on the website. In house training will be on offer. If you download the resource and have feedback to offer, please get in touch admin@pickering-inf.n-yorks.sch.uk 20

Maths Packs Engaging and educating parents Supporting children at home with resources similar to those used in school 21
