Children who start primary school with mathematical abilities behind the level of their peers will typically remain behind their peers throughout school.

Key Points: 
  • Children who start primary school with mathematical abilities behind the level of their peers will typically remain behind their peers throughout school.
  • But positive change won’t be achieved simply by adding more content to the primary or early years mathematics curriculums.
  • These approaches might lead to children learning maths in a superficial and rote manner, rather than understanding the underlying ideas.

Primary focus

    • Phonics is a method of learning to read that teaches children the sounds that letters and combinations of letters make.
    • It is required in primary schools, and pupils take a phonics screening check in year one to assess their progress.
    • Although not universally supported, phonics has been linked to improvements in reading levels among children in England.
    • Even in early primary school, mathematics is complex.

Taking care

    • But care is needed to ensure that bringing maths to life truly reflects children’s experiences and doesn’t become a gimmick.
    • There are already good examples out there of how to teach in this way – such as the Mastering Number programme.
