This community is for schools who have already engaged in Mastering Number. The maths lead will receive support to make Mastering Number a permanent element of the school curriculum.
The maths lead will engage in an online learning community and have continued access to all teaching materials, recording of central sessions, and sample teaching videos.
This community is open to all schools involved in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1 in 2024/25, who are also part of a 2025/26 Teaching for Mastery Work Group or have formally expressed interest in engaging with a Teaching for Mastery Work Group with their Maths Hub in the future.
It is also open to schools that participated in Mastering Number at Reception and KS1 in previous years, provided they have not yet engaged with this community.
The maths subject leader will work collaboratively in an online community, attend two centrally-led sessions with the NCETM, one in the autumn term and one in the spring term, and two locally-run sessions with their hub. They will continue to explore the materials for Reception and KS1, and support colleagues in these year groups to embed Mastering Number in their classes. They will also support the Year 3 teacher to use the teaching materials provided for Year 3 pupils. The Year 3 teacher(s) will be expected to use the teaching materials provided in their class(es), as part of a 10-15 minute fluency session, four days a week; this is in addition to the main maths lesson.
What will you learn?
Pupils will:
- develop fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number that exemplifies good number sense
- be able to communicate their mathematical ideas clearly
- show confidence in exploring additive relationships
- make good progress towards the Early Learning Goals and year group expectations
- demonstrate a positive attitude towards maths
- demonstrate a willingness to ‘have a go’.
Participants Will:
- develop their understanding of the Mastering Number materials for Reception and Key Stage 1 and Year 3.
- develop their understanding of a range of pedagogical strategies that can be used to support pupils
- support the Year 3 teacher(s) to secure pupils’ additive facts, using materials provided for Year 3
- secure an understanding of the mathematical expectations of the Early Years Framework and the meaning of the Early Years Goals.
What is the cost?
The Mastering Number – Embedding the Impact community is funded by the Maths Hubs Programme so is free to attend for participating schools.
