Join our hands-on workshop with Campaign for Learning and Maths on Toast, the family maths charity, for ideas for fun family maths and resources that will inspire attendees to develop family engagement with maths in their own setting. Using playful, hands-on, creative resources, you will learn how to help your families see that maths is everywhere and for everyone.
The workshop provides attendees with:
- an overview of the new Government-funded Multiply programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills.
- an opportunity to explore how family maths can contribute to Multiply programme targets and outcomes to leverage additional investment.
- an opportunity to explore why hands-on, creative maths and giving the time and space to 'play' with and explore maths at your own pace is so important.
- how to engage families and develop a ‘maths is fun’ ethos.
- ideas on how to support families by providing them with a model to help build mathematical resilience (inspired by Sue Johnston-Wilder’s Growth Zone Model).
- a chance to participate in fun family maths activities and evaluate their suitability for their own setting.
- the inspiration to create their own creative family maths resources!
