Take a look at Mastering number in action with our year ones. The impact is phenomenal as children are applying mathematical vocabulary into future lessons through oral and written explanations. @MathsLAT @NCETM @learningatceo

When children have a chance to play with number, they can start to build connections between different concepts and become more fluent at calculations. Here are a few ideas to provide opportunities for children to explore number:

I showed someone today that pressing the ALT and = keys together on a keyboard allows you to type fractions, in Word/PPT, and it made their day. So I thought I'd share it here too, in case it helps. Happy Friday!

Just re-drafted my forgetting curve graphic to try to show that when done well, retrieval grows the top line- ie students aren't just preserving what they learned initially but growing/expanding it. (Also kind of a window into what nerdy people like me do for fun)
