large domino floor set dominoes
Count beyond ten in everyday contexts, e.g. footsteps and
pennies.

Count footsteps
Count footsteps each day, e.g. in from the playground, from the
hall, down the corridor.
Count forwards and backwards making sure each step matches the
counting.

Script Teacher How many pennies did we count?

Children Ten.
Teacher How much is there here? Encircle the pot.
My turn, your turn: ten pennies.
Children Ten pennies.
Continue counting pennies during the rest of the week.

Increase the number to 15, 20, 25, and 30.
By the end of the week, the number of pennies could be increased
to match the number of children, so that 1p could be counted out to
each child and back again.
Large floor domino set Main teaching

Direct instruction
Sit children in a large circle. Introduce the large floor dominoes.
Show children that a domino has two sides, then the dots on the
tiles. Start with the two–one tile.

Teacher Choose a child to pick up their domino and place it end
to end with the double six.
What we are going to do now is make a long train of
matching dominoes.
Does anyone have a 6 or a [number]?
Say the number at the other end of the train.
Continue to match tiles to either end of the train.

Complete the train for as many tiles as possible.
If there are dominoes left over, count all the dots on the left-over
dominoes and say how many there are.
Play the game once more.
Throughout the week, continue to play the domino game. As
children become more confident with the rules of the game and
counting dots, expect them to start the game without your help and
identify which tiles could be placed at either end.
Review
Together, tidy up the domino train. Ask a child to fetch a particular
domino and add it to a pile, e.g. Would you fetch me the three-one
domino? It’s next to the one-five domino.

Main teaching
Guided practice
Give a pupil table to each pair with eight dm sticks placed on the
Resources Table side. Secure eight sticks to a pupil Resources Table
with modelling clay to model at the front of the class.
Say: Partners work together. Display Activity 6, question 1 (3 sticks, 3
sides, open). Use My turn, your turn to make this shape with both
partners working together each time.
Say: I need three sticks. Move three sticks from the pupil Resources
24
Table to the pupil Maths Table. Children copy speech and slide
three sticks.
Say: I must make three sides. Place the sticks end to end to make an
open shape. Children copy speech and action.
Say: It has got to be open. It is! Children copy speech.
Run a finger along each of the three sides in turn and say: This side
is one decimetre long. Children copy action and speech.
Run a finger from one end of the shape to the other. Say: This shape
is three decimetres long. Children copy action and speech.
An open shape Ask each of the following questions one by one: How long is this
shape? How far is it from one end to the other? What is the distance
from one end to the other? What is the total length of the sticks?
What is the total length of the sides? Children answer each time:
three decimetres.
Repeat the modelling with Activity 6, question 2 (3 sticks, 3 sides,
closed). Run a finger all round the closed shape and repeat the
questions above for all children to reply: three decimetres. Now run
your finger around the shape again and ask: What is the perimeter
of this shape? Children respond chorally: three decimetres.
Remake the (open) shape for question 1. Say: This is an open shape.
If I say ‘What is the perimeter of this shape?’ you have to say ‘It
hasn’t got one’. It is only the closed shapes which have a perimeter.
A closed shape
In all subsequent questions, whether the shape is open or closed,
make sure partners include the question What is the perimeter of
this shape? so that children get used to saying It hasn’t got one
when the shape is open, and giving the perimeter when it is closed.
Partner teaching
accurate teaching today! Model how you want Partner As to slide the
correct number of sticks onto the Maths Table, and make the correct
shape to teach Partner Bs.
Say: When you have made the shape, Partner A asks Partner B ‘What
is the perimeter of this shape?’ Observe closely as Partner As do the
teaching for Activity 6, questions 3–5. Partners swap roles for
Activity 6, questions 6–8.
Keep all pairs working at the same rate to ensure accuracy. Monitor
especially for the answer It hasn’t got one (to the question What is
the perimeter of this shape?) when the shape is open.
If Partner As need more support, repeat the Guided practice

Partner Bs clear the Maths Table. Partners swap roles. Reset
question 1 and reveal it again symbol by symbol, for Partner Bs to
copy the Maths Story and Partner As to act the Real Story. Monitor
the writing and acting closely as before.
Continue in exactly the same way so that both partners write the
Maths Story and act the Real Story for Activity 12, questions 2–4.
Partner teaching
For Activity 12, questions 5–8, explain that the partner who is
writing is teaching the partner who is acting. Say: Let’s see if you
can teach this to your partner. I’m looking for accurate teaching!
Ask all Partner As to be the teacher and write the Maths Story for
question 5. Tell Partner B that they must look at the writing that
Partner A is doing to act the Real Story. Only Partner A should look
at the board.
Reveal Activity 12, question 5 (3 − 0 + 2 + 2 = 7) symbol by symbol
and observe closely as children write the Maths Story and act the
Real Story. Take care that when a partner writes a symbol, the
other partner acts the Real Story while looking at their partner’s
writing, not the question on the board. Partners swap roles to
repeat question 5.
Continue for questions 6–8, swapping roles so that both partners
write the Maths Story and act the Real Story each question.

Guided practice
Give a ruler, compasses and PCM 14 to each child. Display Activity
26, screen 1.
Say: Look at question 1. Look at the line that goes through A and B.
47
Say: Here is a point called A, where two lines cross (point to the point
A, not the letter). Here is a point called B, where two lines cross
(point to the point B, not the letter). This is the line segment AB (run
a finger from A to B). Remind children that the line goes on forever
that way (point into the distance to the left) and it goes on forever
that way (point into the distance to the right).
Say: Find the line segment AB on your PCM. Use your ruler to measure
AB. Agree that AB is 3 cm or 30 mm. Say: Write three centimetres
under line segment AB. Children write ‘3 cm’ on their PCMs.
Say: I will draw the line segment and the point C on the flipchart.
Pretend it is the same size as on your PCM. Draw the line segment AB
and the centre C on the flipchart, write ‘3 cm’ under the line segment.
Say: Now we are going to open the compasses to three centimetres.
Use board compasses to show how to open the compasses to
(pretend) three centimetres, by using the line segment AB you have
drawn on the flipchart. Children copy actions on their PCM. Use the
board compasses to use C as the centre and draw a circle.
Say: You’ve opened your compasses to three centimetres. Hold your
compasses at the top so you don’t change the measurement. Now
place the compass pin in C and draw a smooth circle. Children draw
the circle on their PCM.
Use the line segment AB drawn on the flipchart. Run a pointer from
A to B and say: How far is it from A to B (pretend)? Children say
chorally: Three centimetres. Place the board compasses with the pin
B. Run a pointer from the pin to the ‘pencil’
at A and the ‘pencil’ at B
and say: How far is it from here to here (pretend)? Children say
chorally: Three centimetres.
Place the board compasses so that the pin is at C and the ‘pencil’ is

Say: Radius means how far it is from the centre of the circle to the
edge or circumference. We drew a circle with centre C and radius
three centimetres. Next to the circle write ‘Circle centre: C. Radius:
30 mm’.
Ask children to look at question 2 on their PCMs and measure line
segment PQ. Agree that it is 2.5 cm long. Say: Now I want you to
draw a circle with centre R and a radius of twenty-five millimetres.
How can you do that? Agree that they can use line segment PQ to

Guided practice
Say: We’re going to look at word problems today and we’re going to
use the Think About the Word Problem! steps to help us. Give out
copies of PCM 15 and display it on the board. Read through each of
the steps, one by one, expanding on the points as necessary.
Display Activity 27, screen 1, Say: Let’s read this word problem together.
Read chorally: Beryl bought a piece of wood six metres long to make a
shelf. She only used two-thirds of it. How long is Beryl’s shelf?
52
Direct children back to PCM 15 and say: Now, we’re going to ‘Think
about the word problem!’ to solve it. We’ve read the word problem.
Let’s find the question or instruction. Agree it is: How long is Beryl’s
shelf?
Say: When we see this we know that we’ve got to think about length.
In this case, metres. Let’s get a feel for it now. Look for explicit
information. Use My turn, your turn. Say: Beryl bought some wood;
she bought six metres of wood; she needed the wood to make a shelf;
she used two-thirds of the wood.
Now, let’s look for implicit information. Take suggestions to make a
list. Use My turn, you turn to say examples, e.g. Beryl bought more
wood than she needed. She didn’t use all the wood. Beryl’s shelf is
less than six metres long. Two-thirds in numbers is _23 . This is two to
three: smaller!
Say: Now, step two: say what the basic Real-Life Story is about. Talk
to your partner about what the basic Real-Life Story is about and

Script Teacher Look at the Maths Story. Point to the Maths Story
(6 ÷ 2 = 3). Read what it says.
Children Six divided by two equals three.
Teacher Now, let’s think about what it means. We have two
types of Real Stories. Type 1 (click ‘next’ to reveal the
text, the diagram and the text). We have three piles
of two cups (point to each pile of two cups in turn).
Let’s say the Real-Story.
Children Six cups divided by two cups equals three.
Teacher And Type 2 (click ‘next’ to reveal the text, the diagram
and the text). We have two piles of three cups (point to
each pile and count the cups). Let’s say the Real Story.
Children Six cups divided by two equals three cups.
Discuss how, for a Type 1 division, we think about and know the size
of each part and, for a Type 2 division, we think about and know
how many parts (all equal size) there are.
Display Activity 29, screen 3 (6 ÷ 2 = 3). Read what the Maths Story
says together and then say the Real Story. Say: Now we’re going to
think about the basic Real-Life Story. We can have two types of
Real-Life Stories, Type 1 and Type 2. Remember, the Real-Life Story
can be about one thing and one thing only. Read the Type 1 Real-Life
Story ((Six books divided by two books equals three) and (go to
screen 4) the Type 2 Real-Life Story (Six books divided by two equals
three books). Ask: What are the basic Real-Life Stories about? Discuss
the two ways of thinking about the basic Real-Life Story.
Display Activity 29, screens 5 and 6. Say: So we’ve looked at the
Maths Story, we’ve read what it says and means and we’ve thought
about Type 1 and Type 2 basic Real-Life Stories. Let’s see what each
one could look like if we embellished them. Reveal and read each of
the embellished Real-Life Stories.
Display Activity 29, screen 7. Say: Here we have three Maths Stories.
For the second and third Maths Story I want you to work with your
partner to follow each of the steps. Let’s look at the first Maths Story
together.
Read through each of the steps. Remind children a basic Real-Life Story
is about one thing and one thing only. To decide what a basic Real-
Life Story is about they should look for two pieces of information
about the same thing. For each step, ask children to work with their
partner to work out the answer, and then ask individual pairs to
share their answers. Use this as an opportunity to identify any pairs
who may need additional support.
Say: Now, for the second and third Maths Story work through the
steps in the same way with your partner. Monitor children as they
work together to find the answers.
Work through each of the steps for the two Maths Stories as a class.
Discuss the stories the partners have made up.

“Suddenly, children who had not previously

engaged with maths were fully involved. They
were laughing and enjoying their learning and could
comprehend by concretizing the abstract concepts
they previously did not understand.“
Ben Davis, Deputy Headteacher,
St Martins Primary School “Maths Makes Sense has ensured teachers’
professional knowledge is secure and appropriate. It has
allowed staff to respond to differentiated needs in the
classroom creatively and immediately. It has ensured high
expectations and understanding of children’s knowledge.
The planning is simple and effective and the pace
of lessons has increased.“
Iain George, Headteacher,
Springfield Primary school
“Progression, using same language and techniques,
means that children are able easily to build on previous classes’
teaching and learning especially in number work. Key aspects of
Maths Makes Sense such as the teaching of negative numbers,
giving change, using a ruler to draw lines, shapes, giving the
visual image of cups using operations, formal layout
of calculations, have increased confidence in maths and children
are more willing to use what they know to tackle problems.“
Maxine Gray, Maths Coordinator,
Wroxall Primary School
“Using Maths Makes Sense means more and more
children are able to access the maths curriculum, especially
the less able. Having the concrete examples (cups) early
on, they are able to visualise and make connections
much more easily than with previous schemes.”
Lyn Parkes, Maths Coordinator, St John Primary School
“Maths Makes Sense has increased teachers’ expectations

of what the National Curriculum perceives children to be able to
do. Our pupils work out fractions of a quantity with ease and
confidence. They are well versed in the equivalence of decimals
and fractions. The levels and expectations of the geometry work in
the pupils’ books reflect more towards the expectations you would
witness in a secondary school, rather than a primary school.“
