Lessons are designed to follow the concrete, pictorial and abstract (CPA) approach and allow children of all abilities to explore maths through using and applying. A typical lesson may begin with a game or a song relating to number facts where the children will revise and build on known numbers facts for their age range, then move on to a session which uses a range of equipment (concrete) that will support children to explore concepts and strategies to really gain a deeper understanding of the area of mathematics they are learning about.
