Prompted by the @rastokke Chalk and Talk episode with Dr Pamela Snow Using evidence in education with Pamela Snow (Ep 27) | Chalk & Talk (podbean.com), we have blogged on one of the many parallels between reading and number fact instruction numbersensemaths.com/blog-and-resea…
First of all thank you so much @LTeacher123 for your kind words. We are DELIGHTED it has worked so well for you. Re the conversation below, yes there is a reason for the difference which this diagram attempts to illustrate.
@mr_spayne @123_Mr_D @NumSenseMaths I definitely think booklets would be a lot easier to manage but I'm trusting the research behind it. There must be a reason why it's separate worksheets.View quoted post on X
Thank you @LTeacher123 for sharing! Display is an essential part of our approach. Either a fact is in our head, or on the wall. Amazingly after just 3 times tables (2, square & 5) this class will know over half the 36 facts. It shows the chn just how well they are doing.
Lots of excitement today when we added our square number facts to the facts learned. The children were all trying to guess which x table we were going to learn next.
