Thinking Deeply about Primary Education

The Phonics of Maths?

Listen Later

Episode 189: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I’m joined by Chris Such and Neil Almond as we explore ‘phonics of maths’ and what this might entail for teachers and leaders alike. 

We explore: 

  • What do we think is meant by 'phonics for maths'?  
  • Is this an apt analogy? Is it a productive one?
  • What do you think phonics for maths should include? And in what year groups?
  • Phonics famously had Letters & Sounds, followed by a process for validating different programmes and an explicit focus from Ofsted. Do you think that 'phonics for maths' needs equivalent structure for teachers?
  • Phonics has the phonics screening check in year 1. Do you think there should be some sort of equivalent for the 'phonics for maths'? If so, what might it comprise? 

    • And much, much more. Whether you’re new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won’t want to miss this one.
