‘Mastery’ in Maths particularly - does it mean the same to everyone?

‘Mastery’ in Maths particularly - does it mean the same to everyone?
Aged 14, I was assessed with a reading comprehension age of 6.6 years. I was at the top of the top set for Maths but could hardly read!
My parents had me assessed and paid privately for me to have 1-1 lessons. I was lucky!
Aged 16 - I passed my GCSE English first time - it was a miracle!

New post: relieving the anxiety felt by struggling readers. Some hide their anxiety and suffer quietly while others express it in disruptive or self-harming behaviour. There are young people who panic at the sight of text in every secondary school.

This is a ‘real’ life teacher - seems to be in control and on top of things.
4 weeks in - many teachers pretend they are ok but are already ‘behind’.
In our push to improve, we need to have ‘what it’s really like to be a teacher in 2024’ at the forefront of our mind:

I finished my contributions to 2 EHCP reports, all my students have updated IEPs I’ve completed personal fire evacuation plans for my PMLD class and completed paperwork for a boy sent to hospital on Friday ( he’s okay )
Now have a working fridge and some chairs

Most schools use White Rose Maths which has some wonderful resources and a clear progression from one year to the next.
Many academics have never actually taught using this scheme - so professionals who are teachers in the here & now, probably have much more idea of what does & doesn’t work.

I think a fluency of addition facts within 20 like the MTC would transform Maths results both at KS2 & GCSE. I’d go with Y2 - re-test in Y3 for those who weren’t quite ready in Y2. I think the MTC is ok in Y4 but there should be a retest in Y5.

Absolutely agree that fine motor control needs to be in place before any teaching of handwriting.
Repeated and varied opportunities to explore and play with small world activities, puzzles, arts and crafts and using small tools, with feedback and support from adults.

I think more of a thing is making sure children do the right amount of fine motor work in EYFS so they can use pencils properly!

I think it’s absolutely a thing. It’s something I discovered working in EYFS in 2017 and devised a programme to sort it out.
Now I’m teaching Y7 - Y11
Incorrect handwriting of numbers I now see as a massive barrier to learning. Kids read their own numbers incorrectly and so make mistakes.

Absolutely agree that phonics without the teaching of the spelling of those others few thousand words that don’t work phonetically (about 50% of words in the English Language) is dire for kids learning to spell.

@peterfoulds77.bsky.social
Of course it does. My daughter is away at uni with incredibly good grades but cannot spell. No underlying issues except one: she was in KS1 when phonics was first hammered and phonetic spelling was fine. Never recovered. Phonics is amazing for reading; dire for spelling.
