Specialist Knowledge for Teaching ​Mathematics (SKTM)

Early Years Teachers (SKTM)

​Develop mathematical subject knowledge and pedagogy

What is involved?
This programme is designed to improve the subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for all practitioners teaching and supporting the learning of early maths.

​There are two types of SKTM Early Years pathways;

Pathway One: Number Patterns and Structures,

​and

Pathway Two: Pattern, Shape, Space and Measures. 

​Each pathway consists of the equivalent of four days, spread out over a minimum of two terms.  Professional learning and practice development continue throughout, with participants introducing new ideas into their daily practice.

Benefits

• Your pupils will demonstrate a positive attitude towards maths, being willing to have a go, persevere, and share their mathematical ideas
• You will explore and increase your use of a range of pedagogic approaches that will support pupils in engaging with and developing their maths
• You will understand how maths opportunities can be developed across all areas and in everyday routines

​

Who can take part?

This programme is for Early Years teachers who would like to develop their specialist knowledge for teaching maths to Reception pupils.  It may be particularly relevant for teachers that have moved phases or have not received maths-specific training.

Maths leads in primary schools who want to deepen their knowledge of Early Years maths practice would benefit from participating in this programme.
​

 What is the cost? 
The programme is fully funded by Central Maths Hub so is free to ​participating schools.
