Myths and Legends of Mastery in the Mathematics Curriculum

Description

This book helps you understand what 'mastery' is and how to effectively integrate it into classroom teaching. It explores how 'mastery' is viewed and supported in other countries and encourages a critical examination of this topical theme. The book includes practical advice and examples of learning activities for primary teaching. It also outlines how to support children who might be weaker in their mathematical abilities and still ensure that all children master mathematics. The text also supports those who are developing whole school mastery approaches and looks at how we can assess 'mastery' as well as how we can be confident that it is supporting good progress.
