Current priority outcomes 1
Helping schools and colleges to:
● increase supply of specialist teachers of mathematics (including primary,
secondary convertors, Post-16)
● develop specialist subject knowledge of teachers of mathematics (all phases
and including particular areas)
● develop pedagogical knowledge of teachers of mathematics (especially
understanding of mastery pedagogy and Shanghai & Singapore pedagogy)
● improve quality of mathematics teaching practice (including the move from
good to outstanding)
● support teachers to address new curriculum and qualifications (including new
National Curriculum; new GCSE; Core Maths)
● improve quality of curriculum resources and activities (especially to support
mastery teaching)
● increase access to wider curriculum offer (especially Core Maths and Further
Maths)
● improve supply and develop specialist leadership knowledge of mathematics
subject leaders
● improve quality of and access to mathematics enrichment experiences
Current priority outcomes 2
In order that the following pupil outcomes are achieved:
● increased progress and achievement in primary and secondary (including
sustained progress through transition phases)
● reduced gap in achievement between disadvantaged pupils and others
● increased participation in level 3 Mathematics (including A-level Maths and
Further Maths and Core Maths)
● reduced gap between girls’ and boys’ participation in level 3 Mathematics
● increased confidence (can-do attitude) and resilience in learning mathematics
Hub activity – ‘Work Groups’
Teachers doing good work together that makes a difference
to pupils:
● Clear rationale for group
● Well defined intended outcomes
● Local leadership supported by partners
● Different forms of work over time
● Value for money
● Systematic evidence collection
Supported by the NCETM “Work Group Quality Framework”
Types of work groups
There are three types of work groups, all of which seek to
address the priority outcomes:
1. National Collaborative Projects:
● Mastery pedagogy for primary mathematics 1 (ChinaEngland research and innovation)
● Mastery pedagogy for primary mathematics 2 (Use of
high quality textbooks, linked to Singapore)
● Post 16 participation (with FMSP and CMSP)
2. Hub funded locally designed work groups
3. Locally agreed work groups working with partners but
not using Maths Hub project funding
Learning from China
• Whole class teaching
• Carefully crafted lesson design
• Step by step logical approach, leading pupils to a
deeper understanding
• Providing the opportunity for pupils to engage, discuss
and think about mathematics
• Homework – to provide additional practice
