Guidance for teaching mathematics at key stages 1 and 2 to help pupils progress through the national curriculum.

Details

This guidance is for:

school leaders

teachers and other school staff

governing bodies

You can use this guidance to help plan teaching the statutory mathematics curriculum in primary schools in England. This guidance:

identifies the core concepts that are needed for pupils to progress in their study of mathematics

demonstrates how pupils can build their understanding of these concepts from year 1 to year 6

The guidance links to non-statutory guidance on teaching mathematics at key stage 3.

Short videos that introduce and summarise this guidance are also available.

Teachers may find this guidance helpful in planning and prioritising the curriculum following the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This guidance is intended to support teaching. It can be used alongside other high-quality plans and resources, including textbooks.

The National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics has produced a range of resources to support teachers using this guidance. This includes:

Further support for maths teachers is available through our maths hubs programme.

These PowerPoints include links to relevant resources and pupil-facing activities. They are ideal to be used with small groups of pupils to review, practise, and consolidate learning. The five-minute video at the foot of this page demonstrates this in more detail.

The pupil activities are intended to stimulate interaction and discussion. We suggest you use them flexibly and are guided by pupil response, repeating activities where pupils lack confidence. The ready-to-progress criteria are intended as goals for the end of the year. When used at the start of a year, you might want to use the materials from the previous year group. If you are teaching Year 4 for example, the Year 3 materials are used to review, practice and consolidate learning from the previous year.

Impact study

To what extent does using MyMaths save teachers time?

An impact study was undertaken to understand 'To what extent does using MyMaths save teachers time?' It included interviews with 22 teachers across Primary and Secondary schools in England. The time they reported saving varied from 15 minutes to 5 hours a week, with the average saving being around 2 hours a week.

An impact study is research that investigates a particular change or outcome that a product or service has on the group of people it is intended to help or benefit.

We've split the curriculum up into a small number of areas - we call these 'spines' -

Spine 1: Number, Addition and Subtraction,

Spine 2: Multiplication and Division and

Spine 3: Fractions.

Each spine is composed of a number of segments, and we've provided a recommended teaching sequence for segments across the three spines.

An explanation of the structure of these materials, with guidance on how teachers can use them, is contained in a Getting Started video we've put together for you.

Unlike a textbook scheme they are not designed to be directly lifted and used as teaching materials. The materials can support teachers to develop their subject and pedagogical knowledge and so help to improve mathematics teaching in combination with other high-quality resources, such as textbooks.

You can find out how one primary school is using the materials in this article.

In addition to the materials themselves, we have also interviewed a range of teachers who have been using the materials, and they tell us how it is going.

Our resource covers the full mathematics national curriculum (except for a few areas detailed below), but priority is given to those areas covered by the ready-to-progress criteria from the DfE guidance. These areas are given more time and appear earlier in the year.

Some content has been moved from one year group programme of study to another within the same key stage. This is to improve coherence and to align with the ready-to-progress criteria contained within the DfE guidance. This means that some slides from the NCETM Mastery Professional Development Materials will appear to be 'out of year' to allow for in-depth teaching at a more appropriate point.

Apart from 'Roman numerals' and 'Constructing and presenting data', all the national curriculum content is included within the key stage. We would recommend that 'Roman numerals' could be looked at in history, when teaching time, and through continuous provision. Aspects of 'Constructing and presenting data' can be addressed in other foundation subjects, where the data handling cycle can be applied in a relevant context, such as in science or geography.
