<p>Teaching maths mastery to mixed-age classes can be difficult and none of the off-the shelf schemes seem to help. In this document, I have reorganised the maths objectives from the National Curriculum in England and the EYFS Statutory Guidance into similar strands to help you to create your own curriculum in a mixed-age setting. This document clearly shows how similar the objectives are between year groups and which ones can be merged so that you can teach one lesson and meet the objectives of two (or more) different year groups. It also helps single-age classes too, by showing what previous steps a learner needs to have grasped before moving onto the next step. I hope it helps!</p>
