Number Sense

What is the aim? 

Our Number Sense Programme will help young learners to acquire the skills to develop a deep understanding of number. Through play-based counting activities, subitising and recognising patterns and relationships, children will develop a strong foundation in number that will support them to become stronger, more confident mathematicians. 

The programme has been designed by drawing on high-quality evidence and the expertise of the team at Ryders Hayes Stronger Practice Hub in partnership with Roy Broadfield at Impact in Learning.

What will the programme involve? 

• The programme will be delivered across Autumn 2023, with a completion date of January 2024. This includes: 
• Delivering specific guided-play activities and further opportunities for exploration of the same maths concepts throughout continuous provision, across a 12 week period. 
• One initial briefing for setting managers, three online twilight professional development sessions (to be attended by the same two practitioners per setting) each followed by an in-setting coaching session (three in total). 
• A final on-line sustainability webinar drawing upon practical applications for use throughout the year to embed Number Sense practice for 3-4 year olds, and to consider thoughtful adaptation for children across the whole setting. This should be attended by the Maths Champion and the Manager. 
• One member of trained staff from each setting will be designated as Number Sense Champion. 
• Taking part in feedback activities such as surveys and interviews to support the programme developer team to understand their experiences of implementing the programme 
• A full privacy notice and other relevant data protection information will be made available for you to review prior to signing a memorandum of understanding.
