  1. Teaching for Mastery

  2. How we are developing maths at Woodmancote School

  3. Key Principles • Promote a Positive mindset • Learning together • Mathematical discussion • Developing fluency • Practice with variation • Use of pictures and apparatus to develop conceptual understanding

  4. Promoting a positive mindset • A belief that everyone is able to achieve in maths. • Mistakes are marvellous – they help you to learn deeply. • Promote a positive attitude to maths in school and at home.

  5. In our maths lessons you will see: • Whole classes learning together. • Mathematical discussion. • Practical practice with apparatus. • Depth not acceleration. • Fluency in number – children making links.

  6. Learning together: • Discussion over repetition. • What is it not. • Prove it opportunities. • Explain/justify the answer . • Using mathematical language.

  7. Depth not acceleration: • Guided practice as a whole class to develop secure skills. • Variation - doing the same task differently. • Opportunities to explore further, developing a deeper understanding

  8. Use of images and apparatus • Ensure children have a conceptual understanding and not simply following a procedure • Brain crossing

  9. Diagrams to develop Problem solving William has twice as many apples as Ben. They have 24 apples in total. How many apples does William have?

  10. Ben William Total is 24 = 3 units 1 unit = 24 ÷ 3 = 8 William has 16 (2 x 8 )

  11. Developing fluency: 7 + 8 =

  12. Developing fluency:

  13. Developing fluency:

  14. Variation Encourages mathematical thinking and reasoning: • True or false? • Odd one out? • What do you notice? • Spot the mistake • Give me an example of… • Continue the pattern • Convince me/prove it

  15. Our Aim • Develop successful, confident and happy mathematicians • Apply concepts automatically – not dominating the working memory. • Lay firm foundations for future learning to build upon.

  16. What you can do • Make maths real in life • Practice times tables as often as possible • Time, money and measure
