Year 3
Children are building what they have learned in previous years and new knowledge and understanding takes place. Children are continuing to make their on decisions on strategies that they prefer to use and are encouraged to use these when problems solving. Through careful monitoring and observations through the lessons, misconceptions are discussed and addressed.
Each lesson starts with 'Get Ready' and this will recap an element of prior learning, this might be from the day before or in a previous block of work but it will be related to the new learning in that lesson. The lesson moves onto 'Let's Learn' where the new learning takes place. There are plenty of opportunities throughout this teacher led part of the lesson for the children to talk, follow the modelling and the have a go themselves before moving onto the independent work. This allows for the teacher to identify children they will need to work with during the lesson.
Fluent in Five activities allow the children to practise the arithmetic element in maths and to keep these strategies fresh in their mind. the 'Five' part of the titles indicates the time that these activities take place; these are short and snappy activities that will address misconceptions through modelling and examples.
