Duration and Frequency of Sessions

After the Hot Spot (or warm-up), which is usually about 10 minutes in duration, the Guided Mathematics sessions/rotations begin. Guided Mathematics sessions will vary in length but will usually take 15-20 mins (others). There may be 2 or 3 rotations in a Guided Mathematics programme.

Duration will depend on the purpose of the session, the learning needs of the students, students' level of sustained interest and timetable restraints.

• Struggling Mathematicians will benefit from a session 3-5 times a week
• More able Mathematicians may only need 2-3 well-planned and targeted sessions a week
• It is not necessary to see every group every day.
