Download publicationThis guidance includes the use of three ‘waves’ of intervention to describe effective mathematics learning and teaching.
Wave 1 is the effective inclusion of all children in high-quality learning and teaching of mathematics in the daily mathematics lesson.
Wave 2 is the additional time-limited provision in the form of small-group intervention to accelerate progress and enable children to work at age-related expectations.
Wave 3 is the additional time-limited provision to enhance the progress of identified children where waves 1 and 2 are not, on their own, having the desired effect. It involves focused teaching activities.
The document includes a qualitative self-evaluation chart so schools can compare their own Wave 3 provision with a set of quality guidelines derived from research and best practice.
