Great news! @mrspatelteaches is our new Trust Lead for Maths. Congratulations, Reena. 👏 @LEOacademies @ShareenAdvice 🦁

TRG6 today with @lsw_hub was the perfect end to a year of great work. Seeing learning in action is always valuable and participants were able to observe very high quality practise at @HurstParkSchool .

TRG 5 with @lsw_hub was hosted by @CCIacademy Participants observed learning and delved into one of the 5 Big Ideas of TfM - mathematical thinking. They considered different question types and which ones would draw out the most Mathematical reasoning and high quality talk!

TRG4 today involved SLT and maths leaders in the mastery sustaining workgroup with @lsw_hub @NatashaDolling Spotlight on representation and structure involving observing learning (and doing some too!) Also thinking about what our maths culture is and our overall vision.

Mastering number @HurstParkSchool in Year 4 today was examining the 11 and 12 times table. 11 boxes of dog biscuits, where each box costs £10... OR... 10 boxes of dog biscuits where each box costs £11. Which costs more? Check out these children's working! #WeAreLEO

Year 1 @BrookfieldSM3 have been using different scaffolds to represent their number bonds- ⭐part part whole models ⭐tens frames ⭐number lines Lots of variation and learning of automaticity! #WeAreLEO

@WestAshtead have had a staff meeting with @NatashaDolling on developing oracy in mathematics. 🗨️types of questioning 🗨️sentence stems 🗨️mathemical vocabulary ... to name a few elements that were discussed! Always a valuable opportunity to upskill staff subject knowledge.

@NatashaDolling hosted TRG3 today with @lsw_hub with participants from across Sutton and Surrey- hosted by @CCIacademy Year 1 lesson observation focused on the commutativity of addition. Followed by collaborative planning. Lots of discussions and reflections on the maths!

Year 2 @ManorParkSchSM1 have been learning about multiplication and making their own multiplication equations. Cubes were used to represent each one and @seesaw allowed them to type directly into the stem sentences to gain instant feedback. #PedTech #CPA #WeAreLEO

@BrookfieldSM3 are enjoying Mastering Number in KS2! This Year 4 session had children thinking multiplicatively using these representations. They used their whiteboard to explore the concept. Further embedding maths skills and knowledge! #WeAreLEO

Mastering number in Year 4+5 @HurstParkSchool refreshed lots of Mathematical thinking: ⭐ multiplying unit fractions ⭐ working with squared numbers Fantastic way to extend multiplicative reasoning! #WeAreLEO

Mastering number was in full swing today at @CCIacademy -composition of numbers to 5 -odd and even -using rekenreks to make 2 digit numbers We were so impressed with the children's oracy and use of stem sentences with mathematical vocabulary. #TeachingforMastery #WeAreLEO

Year 2 @ShawleyPrimary were taught by Maths Director @NatashaDolling Real thermometers measured different cups of water in degrees celsius, as well as practising reading different scales. The recent cold temperatures were the perfect context for the learning! #WeAreLEO

ECTs+1 grappled with representation and structure today with @NatashaDolling and financial education with @LarisaAlikhan ⭐stem sentences ⭐order of questions ⭐ different representations They then linked their new learning to their maths planning. Well done all!

What a maths superstar! ⭐

@NatashaDolling led a collaborative planning session after the lesson observation in Year 3. Participants considered: Following on from this lesson, what do we want children to notice? How will we enable this? What questions will we ask? A rich discussion was had by all!

TRG3 with @lsw_hub was hosted by @CCJacademy Participants delved into the research and pedagogy behind short division. Mathematical language used: ▶️dividend ▶️divisor ▶️quotient Reflection and discussion followed including children's misconceptions. #TfM

Year 1 @ManorParkSchSM1 have been doubling today! They used cubes and a scaffold to show doubles and near doubles. This then helped them with their addition fluency questions. Which is the double and near double? 3+3 or 3+4 Have a go yourself! #WeAreLEO,

Year 3 @CCJacademy have been using @MathigonOrg to help them with expanded multiplication. The virtual dienes make the perfect array to demonstrate TOxO alongside step by step scaffold. Purposeful use of technology with digital manipulatives! #WeAreLEO

Maths @ShawleyPrimary has started with a bang! Year 3 have been converting between cm and m. They've been measuring classroom objects as well as each other! #WeAreLEO #PracticalMaths
