Welcome to our Maths Presentation How would you do with the Year 6 SAT questions?

Maths at Caldecote ‘It is better to have 5 ways of answering one question than one way of answering 5 questions!’ – Singapore Maths New National Curriculum focuses on: Fluency: Accuracy Efficiency Flexibility Reasoning Problem Solving

What we shall cover Explanation of: Mastery Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach Bar modelling Year groups tasks Then it is your opportunity to have a go at different tasks, across all year groups and ask any questions.

Levels of learning Shallow learning: surface, temporary, often lost Deep learning: it sticks, can be recalled and used Deepest learning: can be transferred and applied in different context

The essential idea behind the mastery teaching approach is that all pupils gain a deep understanding of the mathematics. This ensures that: future mathematical learning is built on solid foundations which do not need to be re-taught (less breadth but greater depth) Increasingly, there will be less need for separate catch- up programmes due to some children falling behind; pupils who, under other teaching approaches, can often fall a long way behind, are better able to keep up with their peers, so that gaps in attainment are narrowed whilst the attainment of all is raised. What is mastery?
