'Big Maths'
'Big Maths' is a totally new approach to the teaching of mathematics in primary schools. It follows the same broad ideas that have made 'Big Writing' so effective in raising standards in writing and enjoyable to teach for so many teachers. 'Big Maths' begins with a model of numeracy development that provides a fresh way of looking at primary mathematics. It's a simple but effective model that will help us look at many other maths concepts with greater insight.'Big Maths' is based upon the principle that there are 4 core skills that lie at the heart of numeracy. These core skills form the platform for virtually all other maths skills and are affectionately known as CLIC, Counting, Learn its, It's nothing new! and Calculations . Because it is so important for all children to make progress in all 4 core skills, 'Big Maths' involves teaching through the CLIC phases every day in a fun, engaging and lively manner.
