Teaching numeracy to six-year-old is a critical step in laying the foundation for formal schooling. Educators play a crucial role in shaping young learners’ understanding of mathematical concepts, problem-solving skills, and confidence in numeracy.

In this training session educators will be equipped with research-backed pedagogical strategies that foster early numeracy development and address the diverse learning needs of young children. By focusing on effective teaching approaches, differentiation techniques, and executive functioning support, educators will be better prepared to create engaging, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate numeracy experiences that promote mathematical thinking and readiness for formal schooling. The session will focus on understanding how young children process numeracy concepts and how to tailor instruction to match their cognitive development, including strategies to support executive functioning skills.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand Numeracy Development – Identify the fundamental numeracy concepts essential for six-year-old, recognize how young children absorb mathematical ideas, and align instruction with their cognitive abilities.
  2. Apply Effective Teaching Strategies – Implement hands-on, engaging methods to foster numeracy skills that align with the way six-year-old learn best.
  3. Promote Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking – Encourage young learners to think critically and develop problem-solving abilities using age-appropriate technique.
  4. Utilize Differentiation in Numeracy Instruction – Adapt teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning needs, ensuring all children grasp essential numeracy concepts.
  5. Enhance Assessment Practices – Use formative and summative assessments effectively to monitor numeracy progress, with a focus on young children’s learning patterns.
  6. Incorporate Technology and Resources – Integrate digital tools and manipulative to support numeracy learning in a way that complements early cognitive development.
  7. Understand and support the role of Executive Functioning in Numeracy Development– Implement strategies that enhance memory, cognitive flexibility, and self-regulation to help children develop strong numeracy foundations.
