Classroom Practice
Points to consider:
- Concrete and pictorial representations are chosen carefully to help build procedural and conceptual knowledge together.
- Possible solutions are shared, analysed and discussed to deepen understanding ‘The answer is only the beginning’.
- Precise questioning during lessons ensures that pupils develop fluent technical proficiency and think deeply about the underpinning mathematical concepts.
- Challenge is provided by going deeper rather than accelerating into new mathematical content.
