Craven Children’s Mathematics Network Group

We are a group of practitioners and parents in North Yorkshire. We are currently all from Embsay Children’s Centre in Skipton, but would welcome anyone in the area who is interested to join us. We believe that mathematics, particularly in the early years is often misunderstood and we are working to try and understand mathematics and children’s ideas and concepts in relation to mathematics in greater depth. Maulfry Worthington and Elizabeth Carruthers have done some brilliant work in this area and we are using this to help us understand our children’s ideas and representations.

It is often very difficult for parents and practitioners to find time for regular meetings so although we are planning a few meetings based around social events, we plan to have much of our discussion via email, so don’t be put off joining us by lack of time!

You can contact us by email via Caroline Midgley, cm@embsaychildrenscentre.co.uk

or by telephone 01756 793286

We look forward to hearing from you
