Supporting development of foundations for maths learning is a key topic for early years. Mathematics plays a key role in a child’s development. Mathematical understanding helps children make sense of the world around them, interpret situations, and solve problems in everyday life. Children’s early mathematical understanding is strongly associated with their later school achievement. It has, therefore, a major impact on young people’s educational progress and life outcomes. It is crucial that we start early and make sure that all young people, regardless of their background, have access to great mathematics teaching in the early years.

Hear about Boogie Mites Music and Maths parent education project delivered in EYFS settings across Portsmouth under the Govt funded Multiply project. Boogie Mites teacher, former Early Years Advisor for Portsmouth, Ali Prismal, will present an overview of the Boogie Mites Maths Programme, how it has been used to develop the parent education course. She will also give tips for settings to deliver a Music and Maths workshop for their staff and parents.

Boogie Mites Trainer Tasha Bretten will focus on the potential for effective music practice to boost mathematical thinking in early years. An overview of neuroscience evidence and research studies that back up the key role that music can play for boosting cognitive foundations for maths. Looking at how music is built on recurring mathematical sequences and patterns including beat, pitch, tempo and rhythm will be followed by an interactive session when you will be invited to join in and learn 2 Boogie Mites songs from our Maths programme so that you can trial them with your children to experience the maths boost for yourself!
