Mastering Mathematics
A one day course for teachers and teaching assistants in KS1
‘‘A mathematical concept or skill has been mastered when, through exploration, clarification, practice and application over time, a person can represent it in multiple ways, has the mathematical language to be able to communicate related ideas, and can think mathematically with the concept so that they can independently apply it to a totally new problem in an unfamiliar situation."
Dr Helen Drury: (2015) Mastering Mathematics Teaching to Transform Achievement
We will focus on:
Becoming confident and excited mathematicians
Exploring the mastery approach:
- The commitment to transforming achievement for all learners.
- High expectations for all learners and a growth mindset.
- The cumulative approach which gives each child time to access age appropriate concepts and skills.
- Supporting and challenging learners to develop deep understanding through: multiple representations, language and communication and thinking mathematically.
- Purposeful planning.
- Developing shared understandings and a shared approach to teaching, training, resources and planning.
