Ready, Set, Go Maths - Face-to-Face Twin Workshop

DATE:     Wednesday, 27 September and Wednesday, 11 October 2023
TIME:      4pm to 6pm  
VENUE:  Clare Education Centre

This workshop will be run over two sessions and is suitable for teachers of Junior and Senior Infant classes. It may also be suitable for Special Education Teachers.

Ready Set Go - Maths is a hands-on approach to learning mathematical concepts in Junior and Senior Infants. It is designed to enable children to develop and consolidate their understanding of numbers through activities and interactive games.

The key message behind the programme is that children are engaged in active learning and there is an emphasis on the use of language to explain our mathematical thinking, what we are doing and why we are doing it.

Ready, Set, Go - Maths focuses on four main areas:

1. Sorting
2. Relationships and Operations
3. Counting and Recognition
4. Understanding Numbers.

Learning Outcome 

The workshop will support teachers in the exploration of:

• The development and acquisition of mathematical skills in the number strand
• Mathematical language as central to instruction
• Use of appropriate mathematical equipment for infants
• Problem-Solving as a central methodology
