Mathematics KS1-KS2 resources and blogs
Teaching resources
The HFL Education Primary Maths team have produced a wide range of detailed mathematics resources that align with National Curriculum 2014 expectations, including detailed planning, assessment and exemplification materials as part of the PA Plus subscription package.
They have also designed an easy to pick up and use set of sequences with step by step guidance covering the entire mathematics curriculum from Year 1 to Year 6. Designed to support teachers, the planning includes examples of how concrete and pictorial representations can benefit pupils’ learning as well as other mastery techniques.
Carefully crafted single-age and mixed-age ESSENTIALMATHS learning sequences enable teachers to teach a carefully planned, small-step progression through the maths national curriculum from Reception to Year 6, deepening understanding year on year.
The ESSENTIALMATHS suite of materials have been designed for use in single age and mixed age classrooms.
The full range of resources can be purchased from the HFL website.
Progression resources
The HFL Education Maths team have developed some materials to support leaders and teachers to understand the progression in each domain and changes to the programmes of study in each year group.
Domain progression
The progression in each domain has been mapped from Y1-6 in easy to read A3 formats. These documents will support leaders to understand the progression in each distinct domain. Teachers can also use these documents to 'strand' back and forwards.
Coded domain progression
The progression in each domain has been re-organised and mapped using the recently produced DfE's sub-strands and curriculum coding reference system. For example, 3F2 refers to the sub-strand of equivalent fractions (F2) in year 3. The documents support leaders and teachers to view the progression in sub-strands. These codes will also be used in the HfL assessment materials.
Mapped changes in each year group
These excel files for Y1 to 6 support teachers to understand the changes to the Programme of Study for each year group. Leaders can also use these documents to identify the raised demands in each year group.
Year group on a page
The Programme of Study for each year group has been re-formatted on one A3 page to help teachers become quickly familiar with the content. The statutory and non-statutory guidance is organised on each half of the page.
Transition meeting notes Y1-6
These documents support teachers to explain the learning of their class to the next teacher. The documents contain further guidance to complete.
Blogs
The HFL Education Primary Maths team are specialists with an in-depth understanding of the current educational landscape and regularly write blogs as a tool to keep teachers up-to-date.
Research projects
The HFL Education teaching and learning Maths research projects are developed to replicate the results of previous successful small-scale work with schools, solve new or existing problems, or support and develop new approaches.
