Prompted by the @rastokke Chalk and Talk episode with Dr Pamela Snow Using evidence in education with Pamela Snow (Ep 27) | Chalk & Talk (https://t.co/nL9FmIvRc8), we have blogged on one of the many parallels between reading and number fact instruction https://t.co/rLnGktlDPJ

I hope that helps understand the difference. It's always v helpful hearing these kind of discussions from people using the programmes and helps craft future developments so thank you.

[Number Sense Maths @NumSenseMaths]

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.

[Number Sense Maths @NumSenseMaths]

We haven't entirely ruled out adding some booklets to our KS1 programme, but they would be shorter, and would probably be for once a week practice, supporting what has been taught in the sessions that week.

So much excitement when putting up our latest learned facts. Just 3 left! @NumSenseMaths

[Number Sense Maths @NumSenseMaths]

@LTeacher123 Nearly there! Really hope the display has been motivating for the children and made it all feel achievable for them. Thank you so much for sharing :)

@missrobson18 @MissWilliamsKS2 https://t.co/fgHcgaT66Z Written by teachers for teachers - focused on getting EVERY child factually fluent within a whole class setting. Highly prescriptive if that is what you are after!

[Number Sense Maths @NumSenseMaths]

@MrsGranero @LTeacher123 @ClareSealy The display shows the children how quickly they are building up fluency in the 36 facts they need to know, and also provides a reference point for them to read not-yet-known facts from. It is updated as each new tt is introduced More info here https://t.co/fgHcgaT66Z

[Number Sense Maths @NumSenseMaths]

@LTeacher123 You will I promise! There are some other tips in here on making sure MTC scores fully reflect the children's tt knowledge https://t.co/HHJuPc2U7e

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.

[MrsB @LTeacher123]

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.

@LTeacher123 Sooo pleased to hear it. Hopefully you have seen pupils who might not previously have learnt their times tables doing really well with it. The chn who thrive with it never cease to amaze me, and it makes me sad that for so long I was told that some chn will never learn tts :(

If you are after a really effective whole class approach to teach times tables to fluency for all children, sign up for our free introductory session this Thursday at 4pm. Programme is taught from January of Year 3. https://t.co/d9USad9qfM

[Number Sense Maths @NumSenseMaths]

Really excited to see our Times Table Fluency programme out there. Hope the session prompted a great TRG discussion. Such a rich PD model.

A HUGE thank you to Miss Chandler and 6C for welcoming over 40 teachers from @MathsHub_LT into your classroom yesterday for the first TRG of the year. We watched a session on the 7 x table @NumSenseMaths and discussed fluency and teaching for mastery. @GLFSchools @Whyteleafe_sch
