Have you seen the NCETM article with lessons from TIMSS 2023? The lack of spatial play (especially for girls) and the underperformance on geometry questions in y5 are 2 of the key issues raised. We focus on both of these in the SKTM spatial reasoning programme.

A great couple of days working with Maths Subject Leaders across Leicestershire … thinking about how we can enhance children’s use of spatial strategies when solving problems - and exploring what is meant by functional thinking. Lots of deep thinking!.
