Introduction…

  • About your expectations…

Better understanding of aims/requirements of the year and to understand some of the terminology used

Practical ways to support my child at home with Maths

Just making sure I am on the same page as the children and can keep up!

Just a refresher on Heber’s approach

I’d love to know how you are teaching maths these days and what we as parents can be doing to help support at home

What is Maths Mastery?

Us…

Our children…

An approach to teaching and learning maths that aims for children to develop a deep understanding of Maths rather than memorising key concepts or learning by rote.
