Love this!

Great to read about a whole school approach, driven by a reasoned rationale, having an impact on children's confidence and mathematical thinking. Thank you for sharing 🤩 We've got some Y6 SATs bar modelling blogs prepped for autumn term. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Mr D-C Mrs Ivory We Are Teachers Teach Primary Teacher Tapp Sophie Bartlett We couldn't agree more about the importance of TEACHING the skills of reasoning. hfleducation.org/blog/how-use-k…

Another fantastic blog about reasoning here. We use lots of the techniques discussed. The children love them and most importantly it gets them thinking.

This is fantastic advice. Thank you

Some really good advice here, especially for those of us who only ever dream of meeting national average. Plus, biscuits make everything better!

Mr D-C Phoebe Josh - Primary Y6 teacher Mr G Luke S Sam Palmer mr.bee Alexander Pritchard Mr N HeadteacherChat Mrs Ivory Emma Dimbleby A really thorough blog and so much food for thought. Thank you for being so generous with your work!

This is excellent and I love the way you write with such positivity, might not agree with the booster groups but I can see how and why they work in your setting. Biggest takeaway for me is how supportive your SLT are and making sure we get that right 👏
