All children will learn - All children can be successful at mathematics when given high quality intruction and meaningful support
Collaboration supports mastery - Children learn through collaboration. The opportunity to work with others supports understanding and encourages the development of problem solving and reasoning skills.
Depth is prioritised over breadth - Each topic should be explored in greater depth and in a variety of ways; a topic is only considered to be complete when the children's knowledge is secure.
All children move on together - Children progress through learning at broadly the same pace, with opportunities for faster graspers to deepen their understanding
Focus on understanding - The ability to solve a calculation is not enough; children must be able to demonstrate and articulate their understanding of the mathematical concept.
Tudor Academy will support the mastery approach by:
Investment in subject knowledge o A clear understanding of what is meant by a ‘mastery approach’ will be shared along with the pedagogy behind it.
Regular CPD sessions will be planned and delivered on all areas of the mathematics curriculum for teachers and TAs.
Examples of resources will be provided.
Investment in resources o Useful, relevant, concrete and pictorial resources will be made available to each class.
Training in the use of resources will be provided.
Mathematics support will be readily available from the leadership team o Planning support will be available during PPA. o Team teaching of lessons. o Professional dialogues about strengths and areas for development.
There will be the opportunity to observe other teachers delivering mathematics lessons, e.g. through teacher research groups (TRGs).
