Developing subject leadership
Our aim is to keep you up-to-date with the National Strategy, to help you make best use of the wealth of materials already published, and to support you in your crucial work of leading changes with colleagues in your department.

A starting point
Look two to three years into the future.
What legacy do you want for your pupils in mathematics by the end of Year 11?

OFSTED report: 14 - 19
One of the ‘most significant contributions’ to high achievement:
Teaching that focuses on developing students’ understanding of mathematical concepts and enhances their critical thinking and reasoning, together with a spirit of collaborative enquiry that promotes mathematical discussion and debate.

OFSTED report: 14 - 19
Factors which ‘acted against effective achievement, motivation and participation’:
Teaching which presents mathematics as a collection of arbitrary rules and procedures, allied to a narrow range of learning activities in lessons which do not engage students in real mathematical thinking.

OFSTED report: 14 - 19
Factors which ‘acted against effective achievement, motivation and participation’:
A narrow focus on meeting examination requirements by ‘teaching to the test’, so that although students are able to pass the examinations they are not able to apply their knowledge independently to new contexts, and they are not well prepared for further study.
Secondary National Strategy Mathematics © Crown copyright 2006 Slide 1.9
To engage pupils, we need to provide a curriculum that:
relates and appeals to adolescent learners
develops flexible mathematicians
recognises that pupils at all levels can think mathematically
provides rich learning tasks
invites pupils’ contributions
values pupils’ prior learning

Successful developments
For a planned activity, consider:
Is the intended outcome clear, and shared?
Are the actions clear, and agreed?
Do the participants have the necessary skills?
Are the required resources (including time and money) in place?
Have you identified any support required?
