Mathematical moments....proof

• Is 3 metres squared the same as 3 square metres?


Agenda

• Investigate Ofsted requirements- the journey to outstanding

• Explore the power of proof and explanation• NCETM-Share the success from a Network

team- winning a bid for improvement• Investigate the EYFS- New Handbook, new

exemplifications and EYFSP• Updates- OUP, draft curriculum to respond


Talk about what you have done as a result of the previous subject leader session

Monitoring for improvement Made to measure report – tackling inconsistencies in the teaching and learning of mathsEYFS


The journey to Outstanding

Compare statements

Outstanding / Good- what is the difference?

Teacher Standards- where are your teachers?

What do you need to do?


Experiences of ‘Outstanding’


Mathematics moment........proof

• ⅞ - ⅝ = ⅜

• ⅔ + ¼ = 11/12

• 5/6 – ⅔ = 1/6

• ⅓ x 3/5 = 3/5 x ⅓

• ⅓ of 3/5 ≠ 3/5 ÷ ⅓

• ⅞ ÷ ⅛ = ?

From the consultation document

12.2 Disapplication of existing programmes of study, attainment targets and statutory assessment arrangements

• To support schools in their transition to the new curriculum, and to help pupils to succeed in the new National Curriculum tests and qualifications, we are proposing to disapply some aspects of the current National Curriculum from September 2013. This will give schools greater freedom to adapt their own curricula before first teaching of the new National Curriculum from September 2014.


Continued• Schools will still be required to teach the subjects of the

National Curriculum but they will not have to teach the current prescribed content of the current programmes of study.

• For primary schools, this would mean that from September 2013 we would disapply the programmes of study, attainment targets and statutory assessment arrangements for English, mathematics and science for pupils in Year 3 and Year 4 to give teachers greater freedom to prepare pupils for National Curriculum tests in these subjects when they reach Year 6.

• We also propose to disapply the current programmes of study and attainment targets at Key Stages 1 and 2 from September 2013 for all foundation subjects. For the purposes of Key Stage 1 assessment arrangements and Key Stage 2 assessment and testing arrangements in English, mathematics and science, we need to retain the existing programmes of study


Not forgetting

• World maths day 6th March 2013

• Networking and supporting each other

• Future meetings• CPD needs – for you

and teachers /TAs in your school
