Mathematics Learning Update

At Westgrove Primary School we have begun to introduce the Mathematics Instructional Model framework of Launch, Explore, Summarise. This means that after our Fluency Warm Up a typical lesson will have an interesting prompt, question or activity that enables students to explore ideas, concepts and methods.  

The teacher guides students to share and justify their solutions with the aim of developing a deep understanding of the content, refining efficient strategies and developing a toolbox of problem-solving skills. It is during the Summarise phase where connections are made and the main teaching occurs.
