Research & Analysis by Ofsted

Coordinating mathematical success: the mathematical subject report (published 13 July 2023) Pedagogy: pupils’ practice. Summary of the research review relevant to pupils’ practice

"Practice helps pupils to understand and remember mathematical knowledge. There are broadly 2 types of practice. Type 1 involves retrieving and rehearsing facts, methods and strategies to the point of familiarity, speed and accuracy."

"In most schools, staff and pupils knew that practice, including the need for overlearning, was important. This is very positive. However, practice was not always accompanied by checks to ensure that all pupils were learning the intended declarative, procedural and conditional knowledge, to automaticity..."

At MTC practise, we understand the importance of practise.
