Teaching Maths Effectively

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.
