Teaching approaches that work

"Excellent maths teaching requires good content knowledge, but this is not sufficient. Excellent teachers also know the ways in which pupils learn mathematics and the difficulties they are likely to encounter, and how mathematics can be most effectively taught." EEF 2019

Following on from Education Endowment Fund's (EEF) email series on improving literacy in secondary schools comes a new email series offering eight practical, evidence-based recommendations that are relevant to all pupils - but particularly to those struggling with their mathematics.  They have made recommendations where there are research findings that schools can use to make a significant difference to student learning.

The content is drawn from the EEF's recently published report,  'Improving Mathematics in Key Stages 2 and 3'.

The  Education review office also published a report last year that outlines practices and strategies that work for students in mathematics.
The report draws on observations in 40 primary schools across New Zealand focussing on Years 5 to 9
