Adapting Maths Lessons in KS1 to Support ALL Learners
- High-quality first teaching should enable every child to access ambitious mathematics.
- This practical course begins to explore how thoughtful adaptations can remove barriers to learning while maintaining high expectations and ensuring equity for all pupils.
Participants will:
- Understand the principles of adaptive teaching in mathematics.
- Identify barriers that may prevent pupils from accessing learning.
- Explore practical adaptations using representations, manipulatives and mathematical language.
- Develop scaffolds that support independence rather than creating reliance.
- Plan lessons that promote equity whilst maintaining challenge.
