Workshop Aims Outline three types of practice; ‘SLOP’, ‘Purposeful’ and ‘Intelligent’ and when to use them with our students. Signpost resources to support all types of practice. Take a look at how well-designed ‘Intelligent’ practices can steer pupils away from mechanical processes and encourage them to think about the structure of the maths. An opportunity for you to develop some intelligent practice questions of your own.

What is Intelligent Practice? A key feature of teaching for mastery is the precise designing of pupil activities and practice questions, so that, rather than pupils repeating a mechanical activity, they are taken down a path where thinking process is practised with increasing creativity. Through connected calculations, the pupil has the opportunity to think about key concepts. The arrangement of these tasks and exercises draw pupils’ attention to patterns, structure and mathematical relationships, thus providing ‘intelligent practice’ and the opportunity to deepen conceptual understanding. “Memory is the residue of thought” Daniel Willingham

Your Turn Why have these questions been asked?

Intelligent Design Choose a topic you know you will be teaching in the near future. Design a series of questions to ‘intelligently practice’ a topic. As a leader, how will ensure your department is confident in creating, adapting and using intelligent practice effectively? Consider when would be the best time to implement intelligent practice in a learning episode.

Key Takeaways @Mr. Barton. Maths • Choosing examples is possibly the most important part of the planning process. • Carefully designed progression and variation in examples and exercises can allow students to make vital connections that develop both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding. • Non-examples can be an effective way of adding clarity and completeness to students’ understanding of a concept.
