Discover the maths hiding in everyday play
Children love making things move, and ramps are a perfect invitation for exploration. But ramp play is much more than just fun – it can provide rich opportunities for mathematical thinking, problem solving and reasoning in the early years.
Join us for this engaging webinar from Young Minds Big Maths, a collaboration between early years educators and university mathematicians in the North East.
Together, we’ll explore how simple ramp play can support children to predict, experiment, test ideas, solve problems and explore cause and effect.
You’ll gain practical insights, see real examples from the free Ramp Play booklet and explore strategies for recognising and deepening the maths within children’s everyday play – leaving you inspired to see maths in motion.
