With the release of the updated EEF Guidance Report for Improving KS2 and KS3 Mathematics for 2022, it’s important that we revisit the main active ingredients of each of the recommendations from the original document in 2017.
In this blog we explore some key things to consider when implementing recommendations 1 – 3.
The active ingredients that run through the first three recommendations are all focused on the choices we make as teachers, the purpose of the activities we choose and how this activates the learning of content and strategies that pupils can utilise in the future.
Our current educational climate is a product of remote learning, school closures, and the reduction of opportunities to engage in high-quality discussion of maths. Teachers are talking about knowledge and how pupils can keep up with their peers. The way we do this is by generating opportunities for modelling the journey to expertise and not the expertise themselves, based on level forensic analysis through formative assessment, and high-quality teaching for ALL, using proven approaches linked to enactive knowledge.
Knowledge gained from the pupils’ environment, interacting and engaging through visible representations, and high-quality dialogue from teachers in their classroom, provides learners with tools to be independent, self-regulatory learners that can adapt, adjust, and evaluate the academic challenges that they face.
