Maths Deep Dive and Subject Knowledge Pack

Looking to explore Maths in-depth and build confidence about an upcoming Maths Deep Dive? Tailored for Maths subject leaders, this bundle helps you to consider intent, implementation and impact questions across the breadth of Mathematics, allowing you to consider areas of strength and weakness so you can plan for improvement and (if you feel you need to) prepare for Ofsted.

Included in the pack:

1. Maths Deep Dive and Subject Evaluation Audit (Primary) - over 100 deep dive questions about Maths to ask stakeholders, including senior leaders, subject leaders, teachers and pupils. As mathematics subject leader, you can utilise these to reflect on the current picture of Maths in your school and explore specific areas, such as fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Many maths subject leads find it useful to practise them with other leaders to build their own confidence in preparation for a Maths Ofsted deep dive.

2. Maths Deep Dive and Subject Evaluation Audit (Secondary) - KS3, KS4 and KS5 Maths deep dive questions for secondary leaders and maths department heads to consider. While there is crossover with the primary set of deep dive questions, this resource focuses on secondary Maths and includes questions about secondary-focused areas, such as the routes available for pupils who wish to take their knowledge of Maths into further education, employment or training.

3. Maths Subject Knowledge Question Bank - content-specific questions for Maths covering KS1, KS2 and KS3. They’re ideal if you’re wanting to explore the finer details of staff members’ maths fluency and calculation subject knowledge as well as the understanding of the reasoning and problem solving skills that pupils need to acquire.

4. Deep Dive Process Overview - use this to structure your internal deep dive in maths, working through the process of identifying your perceived strengths and weaknesses, observation and questioning, and creating a plan of action.

5. Deep Dive Evidence Exploration - a handy place to collate all your observation notes when conducting a deep dive, including observing Maths lessons, asking pupils about their learning in Maths and looking through workbooks and other maths evidence.

This pack is available on our website for £12.50.
