Hi everyone
Great meeting last week. Here are some notes from the Maths/Numeracy side:
Look into ‘Number Sense’
A resource that promotes additional exposure to and teaching of addition, subtraction and number bonds
Think about how this might integrate with Maths Meetings for those schools doing Mathematics Mastery
Catherine (Windmill) and Claire (Woodlands) said they would look into this and feed back to me
• Let me know cost implications as well
I will then communicate with all of you before Christmas to make a suggestion as to what the test/trial might look like
Consider the concept and practice of ‘Pre-teaching’ and ‘Assigning Competence’
Sophie (Kingsway) is already doing this
Birchwood, Windmill, Woodlands and Stoneydelph are willing to give this a try
The report from the action research project is available here: https://www.babcockldp.co.uk/babcock_l_d_p/Mathematics/Research/Supporting-children-to-actively-participate.pdf
• Have a look at pages 3-5 – the executive summary… ‘the impact has been extraordinary…’
• You can watch Dr. Ruth Trundley (the project lead) talking about the research and the findings here (48 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSo7SY3gAM4
Please feed back to me in the next two weeks and I will communicate with everyone before Christmas with a suggestion for Spring term testing/trialling
• Let me know whether there might be any costs incurred to facilitate a pre-teaching setup
