A new worksheet structure, carefully varied to ensure timely progression, support day-to-day assessment and guide pupils to a deeper understanding of key concepts.
Real-world contexts
A focus on real-world contexts to help pupils see the importance of mathematics in their everyday lives, and inclusivity so all pupils can relate to the content.

What is maths mastery?
Maths mastery is a method of teaching that uses the international research of psychologists and mathematicians, including Jean Piaget, Zoltan Dienes, Jerome Bruner, Richard Skemp and Lev Vygotsky, to create an environment in which pupils from all attainment levels can thrive. The whole class works through the programme at the same pace with ample time to master each topic before moving on. Ideas are revisited at higher levels as the curriculum builds.

The elements of a Maths — No Problem! lesson:
Inclusive activities
Tasks and activities are designed to be accessible for all pupils while still containing challenging components for advanced learners.
Problem solving
Maths lessons and activities, based on Richard Skemp’s work, teach problem-solving approaches to encourage higher-level thinking.
The CPA approach
Pupils learn new concepts initially using concrete items such as counters, then progress to pictorial representations before finally using abstract symbols, such as the equals sign.
Variation
Questions and examples are carefully varied by expert authors to encourage pupils to see there is more than one way to solve a problem and avoid mechanical repetition.
— Rosie Ross, Assistant Headteacher at St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School, Wirral, England.
