Lots of useful documentation to help support the moderation of mathematics in Year 2; very useful to see other schools’ evidence towards standards against ITAFs.

Year 5 Class Teacher – Warwickshire primary school
Really engaging and clear! I definitely feel more confident with the teaching of reasoning.
… shows me how keeping things simple you can still get lots of depth/reasoning out of it.
… feel much more confident at using resources in the classroom so children can manipulate them and help with their understanding.

Amazing as always! You have demonstrated some very reasonable, practical, ways to tackle the curriculum.
I agree that children flow between the concrete abd abstract worlds and need to in order to feel confident and secure.

Today challenged our thinking and took us out of our comfort zone so that we can understand children’s mathematical learning to a greater extent.
The use of practical apparatus throughout the school and for all abilities was a powerful and useful message.

Good opportunity for staff to have practice of conceptual learning, via practical activities – rather than starting with the abstract representation.
Staff now have more awareness of progression from concrete → pictorial → abstract.
