‘How are you going to challenge the highers?’
A question I heard often as a novice teacher and still hear being asked today, years later.
I find this question problematic.
Mostly for these two reasons...

@Link83772411@adamboxer1 It also enables me to teach every lesson from it in the primary age phase due to teaching both Maths and English, for example. I would say it took time to embed and teethe though so to give it time and trial and error if you are thinking of converting!
@Link83772411@adamboxer1 I use it as a one stop shop for daily planning and delivery. It has deign features such as adding lined or squared backgrounds which allow for expectations of number and letter formation etc. to still remain high and be modelled for children.
@Kaetror Yes, definitely having access for children to work independently on devices is a bonus. Although the accessibility and ease of having a limitless space reflects ‘in the moment’ teaching massively and I have found it particularly useful with the younger pupils (5/6 year olds).
Isn't it unfortunate: when children first meet number lines/tracks, number get greater as you move to the right, but when they later meet place value, digits are greater in value as you move to the left.
I’d want every very young child to like their teacher. It’s a long old day to be in a room with someone you don’t like when you’re only little and everything in life is still very new and you’re actually still getting used to being on your own.
Can we spare a thought for the mixed age teachers who have had to still plan for their other year groups despite also administering the SATs to their Y6 this week #sats2022
