Hands-on Numberland Teacher Training for you
My online and offline Numberland trainings are designed 100% from your perspective as an educator, looking not only at your maths curriculum, but at your overall situation, requirements, and needs.
The Numberland idea itself is simple, yet you need to be aware of what and how we are doing things. In the end, we all deal with different children in different setting. We are all different and have different goals/objectives.
Reminder: Numberland is not on top or instead of programmes/ schemes you (have to) follow. It is a true supplement and facilitator, often opening doors and paving the way for other more specifically maths-focused programmes!
