Opportunity #3 - Planning for practice
in mathematics

 

Audience - Key stages 1 and 2
Time - 1 to 1.5 hours approximately


Unpick tasks and activities, look at how calculations are ordered, what stays the same and what changes and the questions that teachers should ask to draw attention to key concepts being taught.

What does quality practice look like in maths? Are pupils thinking mathematically and noticing or are they ‘doing’ the maths? Consider the recommendations from the Ofsted Mathematics Review ‘Coordinating Mathematical Success’ around the ‘quality and quantity’ of practice.
