‘Play sits at the heart of how young children build mathematical understanding.’ Bekah Gear of @em-mathshub.bsky.social shares how a KS1 team listened to pupils and teachers, developed a shared approach and made more room for play in maths:

❌ A Maths Hub isn't a single school or trust. 🚫 It isn't based in one place. ⛔ It doesn't require your teachers to travel miles for CPD.

🤝 A Maths Hub Partnership is all the teachers, schools and other organisations leading and supporting the activity taking place across the hub area. Contact your hub and discover fully-funded CPD near you.

🤩 We can't wait for @bcmeconf.bsky.social . And with over 100 of the delegates being from the NCETM and Maths Hubs, chances are you'll see one of us there! 👋 If you're going to be there, come along and say hello, and help us share #ThePowerOfMaths ✨ #BCME10
