Award winning online Primary maths programme using SPIRAL Learning! www.smashmaths.org
WHAT IS SPIRAL LEARNING? IT MAKES LEARNING STICK! Calculation Measurement Geometry Fractions Number EVERY topic EVERY week! Statistics
Our online programme makes MATHS LEARNING STICK and embeds learning. We do this by using our unique Spiral Curriculum approach based on spaced repetition. Strong scientific evidence supports this approach...
THE EBBINGHAUS THEORY The most important discovery Ebbinghaus made was that by reviewing information at spaced intervals, you can reduce the rate at which you forget it. This approach is often referred to as "spaced learning" but we at SMASH Maths refer to this as SPIRAL LEARNING!
WHY IS SPIRAL LEARNING NEEDED? 90% of UK Primary Schools teach using WHITE ROSE SCHEMES, which use topic blocks of learning. UK assessments at the end of KS1 / KS2 and 11+ entrance exams assess pupils' learning of content from the current year and previous years! Pupils naturally forget what they been taught in previous years.
8 KEY FEATURES OF SMASH MATHS SPIRAL PRACTICES
1. ALIGNED TO UK MATHS CURRICULUM CURRICULUM & EXAM ALIGNED QUESTIONS Every Practice follows the UK National Curriculum and prepares children for key assessments.
2. EVERY TOPIC IN EVERY PRACTICE Number: Place Value Number: Calculation Number: Fractions Measurement Geometry Statistics Algebra * Year 6 Ratio and Proportion * Year 6
Practice content coverage SMASH Maths Practices align to White Rose curriculum maps so pupils will only be given questions on what they have already learnt. Our Spiral Practices revisit and embed learning. EXAMPLE - Year 3Autumn Term Week 4 Keep on Track programme - School Practice Q1: Number and Place Value (Year 3 standard) Q2: Calculation (Year 3 standard) Q3: Fractions (Year 2 standard) Q4: Measurement (Year 2 standard) Q5: Geometry (Year 2 standard) Q6: Statistics (Year 2 standard) Expected standard year group content will continue to be phased in as pupils progress through the curriculum over the school year.
3. HIGH QUALITY VARIED PRACTICE CHILDREN DEVELOP PROBLEM SOLVING AND REASONING Every SMASH Maths Practice is bespoke (not generated by computer) and guarantees high quality varied practice with context. We use a variety of questions that use logic and reasoning in our SMASH Maths online practices. This deepens students’ understanding of the maths curriculum and helps them master year group content.
4. VIDEO FEEDBACK FOR EVERY QUESTION The answer to every question explained with a video using key mathematical vocabulary, bar modelling and other representations to develop conceptual understanding.
5. PRAISE AND REWARDS We use fun and engaging GIFs to motivate and praise children. We do not use gamefication, which we think can be distracting and does not focus on good question technique. We also run several competitions throughout the year with prizes to be won!
6. ANALYTICS TOOL Feedback reports sent directly to teacher for every pupil. Analytics tool to track pupil progress over time.
