This two hour in person session will support staff to introduce Play Along Maths in their setting. It is a language-based family learning programme whereby children and their parents choose games to play at home to improve understanding of mathematical language and concepts. The programme supports early and first levels of Curriculum for Excellence mathematics. For more information go to our Play Along Maths blog page.
The session content includes:
- Overview of Play Along Maths family learning programme
- Opportunity to explore the resources
- How to successfully engage families
- Maximising the use of maths language through play
- Good practise examples from across the city
- Opportunity to make links with your Family Learning Officer who can support development at establishment level
- Evaluating impact
We deliver this session throughout the school year, so check GCC CPD Manager to sign up, or email laura.kennedy@glasgowlife.org.uk.
