🧮 Developing Confident Mathematicians

Today, all of our staff took part in training on the effective use of Rekenrek racks to support the teaching of early number skills.

The training provided lots of practical ideas for helping our pupils develop strong number sense, mental maths strategies and a deeper understanding of number.

We’re looking forward to putting our new learning into practice in the classroom 🤩
