Keeping the class moving together in whole class teaching for mathematics

This half day online session will explore what this could look like within the current move towards adaptive teaching approaches, revisiting key messages about how we can support learners who take longer to secure concepts alongside those who grasp ideas rapidly and need to be challenged using the mathematics that they have learned.

The content is not phase specific and would be suitable for subject leaders, or class teachers in Key Stage One or Key Stage Two who would be able to support follow up developments across the school.

The National Curriculum for mathematics states:

“The expectation is that the majority of pupils will move through the programmes of study at broadly the same pace. However, decisions about when to progress should always be based on the security of pupils’ understanding and their readiness to progress to the next stage. Pupils who grasp concepts rapidly should be challenged through being offered rich and sophisticated problems before any acceleration through new content. Those who are not sufficiently fluent with earlier material should consolidate their understanding, including through additional practice, before moving on.”

Suitable for Teachers, Headteachers and TA’s.
