Course Aims
• To clarify the meaning of mastery in mathematics.
• To identify the features of deep understanding in a learner and the teaching strategies required to support this including lesson design, teaching, use of resources and support for pupils.
• To support senior leaders in identifying how a mastery approach can be monitored across school.

A mastery approach to mathematics in primary schools helps all children to develop a deep and secure understanding. For it to be successful it needs to be an agreed approach with strong leadership support. This course will help senior leaders identify the key features of a mastery approach to mathematics including the ideas and pedagogical approaches that underpin it and support with how to monitor and evaluate its implementation.
