We are the Champions!

Posted on April 21, 2016

Last year we held a Mad about Maths in May event to illustrate that maths is not just about complicated calculations that we often remember from school.

Maths is an area where children are at risk of not achieving their full potential, so often this is linked to those around them not embracing and recognising maths in our day to day lives.  With this in mind we are working with the National Day Nurseries Association, taking part in the award winning year long Maths Champion project. Sarah will be leading this with 7 members of team Incy Wincy's supporting her. To get us started we introduced the project at a recent staff meeting, everyone from the baby room staff to pre-school room staff discussed our understanding of maths and how many mathematical concepts we use in a day - we guarantee there were more than you think!

As we work through the project Our Maths Champions will be sharing their mathematical day with you and lots of ideas for parents to use at home to support children's confidence in maths.  To get maths promoted to the forefront of everyone's minds Incy Wincy's will again be going Mad about Maths this May!
