The 5 Big Ideas of Teaching for Mastery - CPD

This presentation is based on The 5 Big Ideas of Teaching for Mastery and clearly explains what Mastery maths is and explains what is isn’t!

This CPD covers the following:

• The 5 Big ideas: Representation and Structure, Fluency, Mathematical Thinking, Variation and Coherence.

More specifically this presentation covers:

Representation and Structure

• CPA
• Stem sentences
• The difference between pattern and structure
• Different representations with consideration given to: what concrete resources do you have in your school? Where are they? What do you /don’t you use? What might the barriers be? For your year group, what are your key manipulatives?
• Various research by: Bruner, Heibert, Russell, Boonen, van Wesel, Jolles & van der Schoot

Fluency

• What does it mean to be fluent?
• Various questions to test and discuss fluency
• Fluency and the National Curriculum (with a close look at the fundamentals of mathematics)
• Fluency: Efficiency, accuracy and flexibility
• Fluency- More than memorisation
• Procedural and Factual Knowledge
• Fluency facts chart for KS1 showing the addition facts that children should be fluent with by the end of Year 2
• Times table chart and the importance of the commutative law
• Various research by: Russell, Boaler and McClure

Mathematical Thinking
-Unpicking Mathematical Thinking in terms of looking at patterns in order to discern structure; looking for relationships and connecting ideas, reasoning logically, explaining, conjecturing and proving

• What does mathematical thinking look like in your classrooms at the moment? How do you know?
• Activities and Questions provided to get participants to think mathematically
• Various research by: Nunes, NRICH, EEF and NCETM

Variation

• What is Variation?
• Procedural Variation
• Conceptual variation
• Activity to unpick and understand variation
• Carefully chosen questions to reveal variation
• Variation vs Variety
• Key messages about variation

**Coherence **

• What is coherence?
• Coherence and the links to the other Big Ideas
• Activity to expose the importance of coherence, sequencing and progression
• Key considerations for Coherence

This document is a PowerPoint document and is useful for teachers, maths leads or maths specialists who has adopted the Mastery Maths approach or those who are thinking about taking on this approach. This is also a useful resource for those who need to deliver a CPD.

Thank you for taking the time to review my resources. I hope this helps you and if it does please could you be kind enough to leave some positive feedback. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
