Maths

To support academies and schools in improving their maths from nursery to sixth form we have advocated numerous programmes.

The programmes are:

Aims of the programme:

Build a core group of outstanding primary maths practitioners in the city who can improve the skills of others by September 2018.
Develop a cohort of F1 maths mastery experts who can develop the knowledge of others in the city by September 2018.
19 schools teaching Early Number Sense and using maths mastery practices in F2 by September 2018.
To improve Nottingham’s ranking for progress in Maths from 137^th in 2017 to at least 130^th in 2018.

The impacts so far:

Deeper understanding of the maths content and curriculum – feedback has been high.
Subject knowledge has increased; upskilled of other staff working within F1, depth of learning for children is increasing and a greater understanding of progression in skills.
Increase in subject knowledge, change in teaching approach-mixed ability, depth of learning for children, improved reasoning and language development for children
Lesson Study on 18/5 at NUSA was a great success for the 7 participants present. Lessons were studied live and videoed – footage will be included in end-of-project film. Teachers who attended the Lesson study visited schools and reported shifts in classroom practice aimed at supporting the development of resilient problem solving by pupils.
