Dr. Natthapoj Vincent Trakulphadetkrai (Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Reading) has successfully supported Campaign for Learning (part of the national charity NCFE) to attract another large grant (£200,000+) to design, deliver and evaluate a project sets out to train a large cohort of around 200 early years practitioners in socio-economically disadvantaged parts across London to support 600 parents to tell mathematical stories to their pre-school children at home to foster mathematical talk. This grant is part of an early years special initiative, supported by the Mercers’ Company as trustee of the Charity of Sir Richard Whittington. This 4-year project, titled ‘Pre-school Mathematical Storytelling at Home (PMSH)’, will build on Dr. Trakulphadetkrai’s MathsThroughStories.org initiative, and his British Academy/Leverhulme Trust-funded project (which focuses on using storytelling to foster maths talk at school).
