Maths
Our new 2026/27 maths lessons are aligned with the White Rose Maths Version 3 small-step progression, taking children from clear teaching and guided practice through fluency, reasoning and deeper thinking.
Each lesson draws on current EEF and NCETM guidance, with checks for understanding and resources to help you respond when children need more support or are ready for greater challenge.
How our maths lessons work
Teaching and Modelling PowerPoints
Start with clear teaching. Our editable PowerPoints connect to prior learning and real-world maths, introduce key vocabulary and facts, and encourage mathematical oracy skills.
The teaching moves through Model it (I do) → Practise it (We do) → Try it (You do), with opportunities to check understanding along the way. A teacher decision point helps you identify who needs further support and who is ready to move on.
Varied Fluency
Varied Fluency gives children carefully sequenced practice of the new concept. Core is the starting point for most children, with Support and Stretch available when assessment shows they are needed.
Scaffolded Examples provide targeted, adult-supported practice, while Knowledge Organisers bring together key facts and examples for in-lesson use, small-group work, same-day intervention or pre-teaching.
Reasoning and Problem Solving
Varied Fluency gives children carefully sequenced practice of the new concept. Core is the starting point for most children, with Support and Stretch available when assessment shows they are needed. Scaffolded Examples provide targeted, adult-supported practice, while Knowledge Organisers bring together key facts and examples for in-lesson use, small-group work, same-day intervention or pre-teaching.
Deeper Reasoning and Discussion Problems
When the core learning is secure, Deeper Reasoning and Discussion Problems take the mathematics further without simply moving children on to new content. Tasks ask children to make connections, investigate, generalise, explain and justify, while Discussion Problems create rich opportunities for mathematical talk.
More maths resources
Alongside the main lesson sequence, our wider maths library includes Practical Activities, Rapid Arithmetic, Maths in Minutes, Fluency Matrix, Stem Sentences, Homework and Displays. Together, they support retrieval, fluency, mathematical language, extra practice and classroom reference across the maths week.
Established maths resources
Our established maths resources remain available alongside the new 2026/27 lessons, giving teachers access to alternative activities, additional practice and resources from earlier lesson sequences.
A different approach for Year 1
Year 1 follows a more practical, flexible lesson structure. Teachers can use the Teaching PowerPoint, adult-led practical activities or both, then develop fluency and reasoning through worksheets, continuous provision or a combination. Learning concludes with a real-life problem.
