Mathematics_guidance_key_stage_3.pdfNEW DFE GUIDANCE ON TEACHING KEY STAGE 3 MATHS
For the first time, it offers a detailed ordering of the maths that students need to learn from the beginning of Year 7 until the end of Year 9.
At the heart of the guidance, for each area of maths and for every year group, are sections exemplifying the significant key mathematical ideas that need to be taught, and learnt, in order for students to progress. In 52 separate areas of maths, the exemplification:
highlights common difficulties and misconceptions
provides examples for use in lessons
suggests questioning and other strategies for teachers to use.

Videos and resources for teaching KS3 Maths topics
Recorded by experienced teachers, these videos offer advice and ideas for colleagues, especially less experienced colleagues such as NQTs, or non-maths specialists, and TAs/tutors teaching small groups.
Particularly useful for Covid recovery, they cover key learning points, assessing prerequisite knowledge, key questions, language, representations and common misconceptions and pitfalls. They also include lesson ideas and activities for students.
Each video is accompanied by a supporting document of notes, explanations and further resources, and the PowerPoint slides used in the video. These resources are below the video playlist and can be downloaded as zip files.
