Numeracy at Roade

From Year 1 to Year 6, all pupils will have a dedicated daily mathematics lesson.  Within these lessons there will be a good balance between whole-class work, group teaching and individual practice. Children following the Foundation Stage Framework will also receive such a balance although not necessarily within the same session.

A typical lesson

A typical 45 to 60 minute lesson in Year 1 to 6 will be structured like this:

 Oral work and mental calculation

This will involve whole-class work to rehearse, sharpen and develop mental and oral skills.

 The main teaching activity

This will include both teaching input and pupil activities and a balance between whole class, grouped, paired and individual work.

 A plenary

This will involve work with the whole class to sort out misconceptions, identify progress, to summarise key facts and ideas and what to remember, to make links to other work and to discuss next steps.

The teacher will determine exact timing for each part of the lesson.
