Research shows that maths needs to be taught in a structured and explicit approach, allowing children to work in concrete, pictorial and abstract ways.
Patterns and a deep sense of ten is important to later success.
Subitizing also plays an important role in building fluency.
Once children have understanding of a concept, repeated practice through explicit teaching is important to build automaticity.
Factors like cognitive load theory need to play a huge role in our teaching.
Problem solving from a place of undertanding is important.
Once understanding is established, children do still need automatic recall of basic facts.
This is along video, but explains a bit more about math teaching.
