Most controversially, ‘Shape, space and measure’ has been removed as a Mathematics goal in the revised EYFS, though it is now mentioned in the educational programme for this area of learning.

Professor Jennifer S Thom will give an insight into:

- Understanding of ‘space, shape and measure’ is vital to Mathematics, related subjects such as Science, Technology and Engineering, and in an increasing number of jobs
- The wider importance of spatial reasoning to early learning
- What is meant by embodied learning
- How we can enable genuine opportunities for such engagement with young children—not only to deepen their understanding of mathematics but also to develop a love for it.
