the importance of seeing where children are at
and where they are moving to.the crux of

Hungarian children have an extra year to explore
patterns and sequences before engaging with the
curriculum. Might this approach work in this
country?Work and play at this Hungarian
kindergarten are heavily teacher-directed. What
are the effects of this approach on teaching and
learning?

Pupils receive an intensive session on
problem-solving once a week. Is this bolt-on
approach effective?The headteacher says, I see
no point in teaching ratio, fractions and
perimeter until theyve got that inside-out
understanding of times tables. Do you agree with
her?Pupils receive maths mentions in assembly
and take part in lunchtime card schools. What
other strategies can be used to extend learning
in maths outside the classroom?
