    A good podcast with interesting guests. I do think the short two parters could be made into one episode as they’re really not that long. One other thing which would make this podcast better is to please fix the audio! The host sounds like she’s in a tunnel sometimes, it’s quite muffled and echoing. Love the topics, thanks.

Episode 90 - Core Maths: Then, Now and Next
Q: What is Core Maths and why is it important?
Core Maths is a Level 3 qualification designed to deepen competence in mathematical methods, develop confidence in applying mathematics to real-world situations, and strengthen mathematical reasoning across disciplines, serving as a bridge from GCSE to further study and the world of work.
Episode 89 Teaching maths in Year 6
Q: What resources support teachers in identifying and addressing gaps?
Ready-to-progress criteria from the DFE and NCETM exemplifications are used to guide the learning journey, supported by teacher-friendly material that helps identify what students don't know and how to teach it.
Episode 89 Teaching maths in Year 6
Q: What practical strategies do you use to maintain fluency and readiness for SATs and secondary school?
We extend fluency work beyond Year 4 with daily short arithmetic practices, continue tables work through Year 5 and into Year 6, and use Maths on Track to review and adapt strategies based on student misconceptions.
Episode 89 Teaching maths in Year 6
Q: How do you balance curriculum coverage with ensuring deep understanding in Year 6?
We prioritise secure learning over coverage, focusing on deep understanding of core concepts first and then building toward more complex content, using a wall analogy to emphasize gaps from Years 1–5 and addressing them before May.
Teacher Professionalism: a conversation with Professor Dame Alison Peacock
Q: How can school and trust leaders engage effectively with programs like Maths Hubs?
Alison suggests that leaders should prioritize collaboration beyond their own schools and look to national organizations for guidance and support in building teacher professionalism.
