In your classroom… • What do you want?

Maths • Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately. • �reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language • �can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.

Maths • Solve problems • �develop their mathematical knowledge, in part through solving problems and evaluating the outcomes, including multi-step problems • �develop their use of formal mathematical knowledge to interpret and solve problems, including in financial mathematics • �begin to model situations mathematically and express the results using a range of formal mathematical representations • �select appropriate concepts, methods and techniques to apply to unfamiliar and non-routine problems.

History • It should inspire pupils’ curiosity to know more about the past. Teaching should equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.

History • Attainment targets • By the end of key stage 3, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the programme of study.

Art • pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

Art • Key stage 3 • Pupils should be taught to develop their creativity and ideas, and increase proficiency in their execution. They should develop a critical understanding of artists, architects and designers, expressing reasoned judgements that can inform their own work. • Pupils should be taught: • �to use a range of techniques to record their observations in sketchbooks, journals and other media as a basis for exploring their ideas • �to use a range of techniques and media, including painting • �to increase their proficiency in the handling of different materials • �to analyse and evaluate their own work, and that of others, in order to strengthen the visual impact or applications of their work • �about the history of art, craft, design and architecture, including periods, styles and major movements from ancient times up to the present day.

How do the two ideals compare/link?

The Ideal • Use same language across the curriculum in order to help students understand that they are developing the PLTS skills across the school

Team Worker • Team worker Mat

Team Worker • The four Cs • Clarity – everyone knows the main objective • Consideration - both of the ideas and other people’s viewpoints; curiosity • Curiosity - test ideas to the limit and don’t be afraid to ask questions • Compromise - always be open to allowing your idea to be built upon by others
