ESSENTIALmaths planning

ESSENTIALmaths learning sequences enable teachers to teach a carefully planned, small-step progression through the maths national curriculum from Reception to Year 6, deepening understanding year on year.

ESSENTIALmaths planning has been designed for use in single age and mixed age classrooms.

Termly diagnostic assessment

Termly ESSENTIALmaths arithmetic and reasoning diagnostic materials, including diagnostic questions, markbooks and teacher planning guides, are included to inform planning for next term or academic year, considering ‘Why this? Why now?’

ESSENTIALmaths Practice Sheets

The ESSENTIALmaths Practice Sheets for single age and mixed age classes have been designed to provide different types of practice linked with the ESSENTIALmaths learning sequences. Each sheet provides a worked example, rehearsal opportunities and application questions that develop further thinking. ‘Can I still…?’ questions provide opportunity for regular retrieval of previous learning.
