Counting Collections in classrooms

Teachers use the four-part Counting Collections routine in weekly sessions and make the Counting Collection library available in provision.

Professional development for Counting Collections

Substantive professional development supports teachers to use the Counting Collections approach. All teachers have access to Counting Collections Online.

Research

Two EEF-funded research projects: a randomised controlled trial with reception teachers and a development project with pre-school practitioners.

Both these projects are now completed and you can read more about them on the research page, where you will also find links to the reports.
