Mathematical Reasoning Bundle

I am passionate about developing pupils ability to reason mathematically and - as the current National Curriculum states - make rich connections across mathematical ideas.

The bundle features:

• PowerPoint that can be used for staff CPD to encourage them to create opportunities to develop reasoning in their maths lessons.
• PowerPoint of ‘Always, sometime, never?’ investigations. Where children have to reason and justify their decisions with evidence.
• PowerPoint of ready-to-go reasoning activities. These are all open-ended activities that have a low entry and high ceiling - suitable for across KS2, but especially useful in Years 5 & 6.
• A ready-to-go quick reasoning activity to use on a maths display or in the staffroom.

There are hours worth of activities here that prioritise reasoning but will touch on all areas of the mathematics curriculum.
