The TWHF ENRich Maths curriculum enables learning for each year group that is planned from the relevant National Curriculum objectives. Sourced from the Can Do Maths resources, these are blocked into themes or units and then sequenced into concise and progressive manageable steps, to create a coherent mathematical journey through the learning. New learning is taught through the daily lessons whilst regular practice and review (MOT) sessions are used to practise, consolidate and revisit previous learning. In addition, daily opportunities to consolidate number fluency are built in to the day to allow for the efficient, automatic recall of key number facts and procedures.
New Learning Session - To develop RICH knowledge and skills, pupils will be exposed to daily, explicit teaching of new mathematical learning. New learning has been designed to ensure a coherent progression through the curriculum. This enables all pupils to develop a deep and connected understanding of mathematics so that they can apply it in a range of contexts. Representation and structure has been considered so that teachers can carefully select representations of mathematics to expose mathematical structure. Variation is embedded into new learning, to draw closer attention to a key feature of a mathematical concept or structure. Pupils are simultaneously exposed to problems and reasoning, which enable mathematical thinking and is central to how pupils learn mathematics.
Prior Learning Session - Pupils are exposed to daily teaching and deliberate practice of tasks that activate prior learning. Through daily MOT sessions pupils will have opportunities to retrieve and use prior knowledge so that it can be easily remembered and recalled during New Learning sessions. MOT sessions will also include pre-teaching, weekly arithmetic practice sessions and 'Keep-up' opportunities for children who need longer to fully grasp a new concept or skill.
Number Fluency Sessions - Short efficient, accurate recall of key number facts and procedures is essential for fluency, freeing pupils' minds to think deeply about concepts and problems. To support the development of this, the TWHF ENRich Maths Curriculum has been designed to offer daily opportunities for pupils to revisit and recall number facts and procedures through short, high-quality tasks and activities. Revisiting previously learned knowledge and skills allows pupils to have the flexibility to move between different contexts and representations of mathematics, to recognise relationships and make connections, and to choose appropriate methods and strategies to solve problems.
