What is mastery?
“Mastering maths means acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject” – NCETM
In a nutshell …
Maths mastery is a teaching and learning approach that aims for pupils to develop deep understanding of maths rather than being able to memorise key procedures or resort to rote learning.
Mastery of a mathematical concept means a child can use their knowledge of the concept to solve unfamiliar problems, and undertake complex reasoning, using the appropriate mathematical vocabulary.

“Mastering maths means acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject” – NCETM
In a nutshell …
Maths mastery is a not a quick fix to maths learning but a journey that the teacher and pupils go on together, with regular assessment to check the pupils understanding and teaching to address any gaps.
The end goal and expectation is for all pupils (with very limited exceptions) to be able to move confidently on to their next stage of maths at the end of their year group or key stage.

Power Maths achieves this by …
Carefully �sequenced, �small step �learning

“Mastering maths means acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject” – NCETM
