Our school improvement programme empowers and equips teachers to improve pupils’ enjoyment, resilience, understanding and attainment in maths.
Joining the Mathematics Mastery programme is the start of a long-term investment in professional development for your entire team.
We work in partnership with schools to provide ongoing, maths-focused training, high-quality curriculum resources and specialist support.
The programme begins in Year 1 and each subsequent year, the programme rolls up into the following year group.

While our programme content evolves, the ethos behind it remains the same. Our classroom principles are the evidence-based foundations upon which our entire teaching approach is built. The principles are interconnected and together the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Every child can enjoy and succeed in mathematics as long as they are given the appropriate learning opportunities. A growth mindset enables pupils to develop resilience and confidence.
Pupils must be given time and opportunities to fully explore mathematical concepts. The challenge comes from investigating ideas in new and complex ways – rather than accelerating through new topics.
Enabling learners to solve new problems in unfamiliar contexts is the ultimate aim of mathematics education. Identifying, applying and connecting ideas enables pupils to tackle new and more complex problems.
Successful mathematicians are known to develop mathematical ‘habits of mind’. To encourage this, we must support pupils to be systematic, generalise and seek out patterns. Questioning is a key element of this.
Mathematical language strengthens conceptual understanding by enabling pupils to explain and reason. This must be carefully introduced and reinforced through frequent discussion to ensure it is meaningfully understood.
Objects, pictures, numbers and symbols enable pupils to represent ideas and make connections in different ways. This develops understanding and problem solving skills – while making lessons engaging and fun.
Singapore and Shanghai are two of the highest international performers in mathematics education. They have a consistent, tried and tested approach to mathematics teaching which has inspired our programme. For example:
“Our Mathematics Mastery success is evident from our ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted report. Inspectors highlighted how pupils make ‘outstanding progress from their starting points’ in maths, and a previous trend for ‘weak mathematical skills’ had been ‘completely reversed’.”
