Maths Champion Programme

Maths Champion Programme

Meet Hannah, our Math Champion Lead.  She has completed a 12-month professional development programme alongside Mel, that is designed to improve children’s maths outcomes by embedding maths into play and activities.
 
Maths Champions also assess staff confidence, design action plans, and guide their team to embed fun mathematical concepts naturally into everyday play and routines.
 
 
 
Core Responsibilities:
 
Lead and Inspire: Motivate and support other staff members to build their own confidence and knowledge in teaching early mathematics.
 
Audit and Action Plan: Use programme tools to assess the nursery’s current environment and staff confidence levels, then create an action plan to drive improvements.
 
Implement Activities: Introduce a set of core, play-based maths activities for the children and monitor the progress being made.
 
Track Progress: Utilize observational tools and resources provided by the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) to track the mathematical development of children.
 
 
 
Proven Impact:
 
Research by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has shown that settings running this programme help children make an average of 3 months of additional progress in maths and language
