This community is for schools who have already engaged in Mastering Number. In order to be involved, you need to be engaged with a Teaching for Mastery Work Group for 2026/27, and have not taken part previously.
Schools will only need to book their Maths Subject Leads onto this Work Group.
“Mastering Number has significantly improved pupils’ confidence and fluency—children are now able to explain their thinking clearly using mathematical language.”
“The use of sentence stems and structured talk has transformed classroom discussions, enabling pupils to reason, justify, and build on each other’s ideas.”
“Collaborating with other schools gave us invaluable insight and helped shape a clear, strategic approach to embedding Mastering Number across our setting.”
“Modelling and professional dialogue have strengthened staff confidence and ensured consistent, high-quality maths teaching.”
“A greater focus on scaffolds and inclusive approaches has ensured all pupils, including those with SEND, can fully access and succeed in maths.”
