Mastery in Mathematics

TTS allows pupils to develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, fluency in procedures, and the ability to apply mathematics to solve problems.

Key Features of Mastery

• Deep understanding: Students demonstrate a strong grasp of mathematical concepts and relationships.
• Fluency: Students apply mathematical procedures with accuracy and efficiency.
• Reasoning: Students use mathematical reasoning to solve problems and justify answers.
• Application: Students apply mathematics to real-world contexts and problems.

Mathematical Concepts

• Number: Understanding numbers, operations, and relationships.
• Geometry: Exploring shapes, properties, and relationships.
• Measurement: Developing skills in measuring length, mass, capacity, and time.
• Data handling: Collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data.

Benefits of Mastery

• Improved problem-solving: Students become confident in applying mathematics to solve problems.
• Increased confidence: Students develop a positive attitude towards mathematics.
• Better retention: Students retain mathematical knowledge and skills more effectively.

Teaching for Mastery

• Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract: Using concrete objects, visual representations, and abstract concepts.
• Variation: Using varied examples and non-examples to deepen understanding.
• Depth: Exploring mathematical concepts in depth, rather than superficially.
