Even Better If
KS1
There was an opportunity to move around to complete a range of activities within a lesson
There was more opportunity for maths to be outdoors
KS2
There were more online competitions
More group projects (year 6)
Some children felt that maths lessons can feel a bit rushed
There were lots of requests for longer maths lessons!
We spoke about the importance of having a wide ranging curriculum in school and all children agreed they would not want to lose any other part of their timetable. I suggested a Saturday school for additional maths but children were less keen on this.
