Following the live launch today, please reflect on the following questions.

Please add your thoughts and reflections as comments below so we can begin to build our online community.

Explore

1. What have you already tried?

2. What are you school priorities? How does the Mastering Number programme fit in? For example, introducing the key resource - the rekenrek will this be used in mastering number and your main lessons? Will you use it instead of another resource so as not to overload?

Prepare

1. Consider your current provision, do you need to make any adaptations?

2. How will you ensure all staff have the same vision? For example, are the Year 3 teachers prepared for the Year 2 children coming up to them? Are they aware of what the children are learning on mastering number in Year 2 and what the expectations should be in terms of calculation using the automaticity and the facts that they’ve developed.

3. When and how will the mastering number sessions fit into your timetable? It’s recommended that the Mastering Number programme is a separate session. If you can’t fit in an extra 10/15 min session, it’s recommended that you shorten the main maths lesson rather than abandon the programme. The research shows that it has far greater impact shortening the main maths lesson rather than not doing it because you can’t it in. The main maths lesson become more focused and this additional session supports children’s mathematical development alongside the main lesson.

Welcome to Mastering Number for Reception and KS1.

My name is Kate Brandreth and I will be leading this workgroup. In addition to working with London Thames Maths Hub, I am the Head of primary maths at Teach First and I sit on MESME’s academic advisory committee.

I’m looking forward to working with you all this year.

Hi,

Following the national training on Friday, please take some time to reflect on the questions below.

It would be great if you could share your thoughts as comments so we can begin to work collaboratively and build our online community.

Will ALL of your children be able to access the learning in these sessions? Mastery is characterised by a belief, that by working hard, all children are capable of succeeding at mathematics.

What could you do to ensure this happens - before or during a session?

What systems could you consider putting in place to ensure all children keep up? For example, pre-teaching/ intervention groups.

Further information

Don’t forget to download and share the materials from Axis for your year group.

During the training, Sue referred to the Mathematics guidance: key stages 1 and 2. If you would like to explore this further, you can access it here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1017683/Maths_guidance_KS_1_and_2.pdf

Year 1 - (11:25 – 1235)

Each Lead Teacher will need to register for their live session on Zoom by using the link below.

Lead Teachers - please sign up to the Zoom event with the same email address you use to sign up to Axis in order access the programme materials.

Zoom registration link (Note: this is NOT the link to the Zoom meeting itself):

https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUlce-uqDguH9YBaqlpeWn2yu-ZQ-bkBeuK

Once registered Lead Teachers will then receive an email from Zoom with their personal joining link and password.

Please note that the joining link is personal to the Lead Teacher who registers for the Zoom meeting and must not be shared.

If you lose the registration link, please email your Maths Hub: info@mathshublt.co.uk. If you have registered but cannot find the Zoom meeting link, please:

Check your emails – the link will have come from no-reply@zoom.uk
