DFES say maths vital for; Underpinning research - science,
technology and ICT Labour market Economy Provides a set of key skills to enable
individuals to reach their full potential in terms of life and work.

To what extent are our pupils realistically going to contribute to
research - science, technology and ICT? The labour market? The economy? To what extent will the maths we teach
our children enable individuals to reach their full potential in terms of life and work? ?

Challenging individuals at their own level
Correct level increases motivation Correct level ensures success, helping
children become confident learners Increased confidence and motivation
leads to achievement and educational success
All the above add together to improve self-esteem and self-confidence

Educational success
Raised self-esteem
Increased motivation
Independent learning
Thorough assessment
ensures work is pitched at correct
level

How does it make you feel……….
What is important is the process, not the answer…
Think soduku, and other numerical puzzles; why do we do them?

Behaviour overall is good and learners are keen to get on with their work in a secure and friendly environment in which they can thrive.
Teaching is well informed, confident, engaging and precise.
The work is well matched to the full range of learners’ needs, so that most are suitably challenged.
Teaching assistants and resources are well deployed and good use is made of time..

most learners..make less than satisfactory progress…due to unsatisfactory teaching or the impact of bad behaviour
learners’ overall behaviour or attitudes are unsatisfactory, and the tone of the lesson is inimical to the development of learners’ personal qualities
work badly matched to the pupils’ starting points Methods…poorly geared to learning objectives…
fail to gain the interest & commitment of learners inadequate use of resources, including assistants
and the time available poor assessment

Teaching is NOT SATISFACTORY if
Pupils are too dependent on adults.
Activities do not encourage sustained interaction.
Pupils are unwilling to work without supervision
Practice which is SATISFACTORY AND ABOVE include lessons where;
Pupils have suitable opportunities to make choices and become more independent.
Tasks have sufficient challenge to keep pupils working either independently or in co-operation with others.
Pupils are becoming increasingly more independent.
Time is used productively for independent and collaborative work.

Targets must be smart Our children do not learn in a series of predictable
steps, we must take this into account and set a range of targets to prevent boredom. **

Communication Abstract concepts Memory – moving things from short to
long term memory Auditory memory and language Concentration Attention Learning styles Maths skills are linear – can’t move on
until first skill is learned….

Play and laughter The right level, the teachable moment,
the right answer. Multisensory learning Fine motor skills – alternative ways of
recording Presentation

1. Oral and mental starter. This section of the lesson can be used effectively to teach some targets.
2. Main part of lesson. All work should be challenging and build on previous achievements, differentiated, innovative and responsive to children’s needs.
3. Plenary

Research on Laughter and learning points to improved learning gains when intellectual challenges are preceded and reprieved by laughter.
When a child is laughing he or she is not likely to be anxious.
When anxiety is reduced you take more risks.
When you take more risks the likelihood of real learning goes up
(Smith 1992)
