Each lesson focuses on a manageable step of new learning based on the NC statements.
Typical lesson design:
1. Hook: Introduction (Including retrieval, making links with previous learning and specific vocabulary)
2. Live modelling of new learning with explicit use of potential misunderstandings
3. Practise it: All children practise together
4. Do it: Up to five examples – 5 ‘What it is/What it’s also’
5. Stretch it: A deliberate misconception
6. Solve it: Apply understanding to solve new problems
Arithmetic Sessions
Key Stage One
Arithmetic will take place daily and last for 15 to 20 minutes. In KS1, pupils will practise and retrieve key a number of skills that have been previously taught for four sessions each week, to develop fluency. Teachers use NCETM Mastering Number programme to support their planning and delivery of these sessions. The fifth session each week is used to revisit a concept that the class are not secure in. This needs to be informed from termly and ongoing assessments.
