This section contains a suggestion for a staff meeting to introduce the Primary National Strategy Wave 3 mathematics pack and Wave 3 mathematics provision.

Outline for a staff meeting
Objectives

• To provide some background to the development of the Primary National Strategy Wave 3 mathematics materials
• To develop practice in supporting children's mathematical development and self confidence by providing a suggested model for Wave 3 mathematics intervention
• To familiarise staff with specific detail about using the Wave 3 mathematics pack
• To consider the identification of specific areas of mathematics that can prevent children achieving expected levels of progress

Key messages

• It is important that the Wave 3 mathematics materials are seen as a suggested model for providing Wave 3 intervention, which teachers should adapt to suit the needs of their children.
• There are key features in the design of the materials to support good practice in working with children with mathematical difficulties.
• Good day-to-day assessment is fundamental in supporting effective use of Wave 3 mathematics intervention.
