About this event

Audience: Teachers of primary mathematics in mixed age settings

Focus: How do we balance the idea of age-related maths teaching with mixed-age classes?

The maths curriculum is uniquely challenging to manage within a mixed age setting because of the way maths concepts build upon previous learning. It makes no sense, for example, for a child to try Year 4 division tasks before they have understood the Year 3 objectives. The National Curriculum year group objectives for maths reflect this.
Over two sessions we will look at ways to manage maths curriculum objectives with two or more year groups in one class, whilst following a mastery approach.
