Year 6 teacher, Key Stage 2 and Mathematics lead

I use small steps and careful representations so pupils can see how a method works rather than guess which procedure to copy.

I teach Year 6 and lead Key Stage 2 and Mathematics. I use small steps and careful representations so pupils can see how a method works rather than guess which procedure to copy. Questions and models should make the reasoning clear enough for pupils to explain it back.
Mastery work gives me a way to sequence examples and check what needs another explanation. I want to know what a pupil understands and where confidence is slipping, not simply whether they have completed the page. A representation can help pupils connect an idea with the symbols they are using.
Transition matters too. As pupils prepare for secondary school, I want them to feel that they belong in the next stage and can ask questions about what will change. I look for resources that support both mathematical independence and calm preparation for moving to a new setting.
How I approach a lesson
Use representations and small steps to make methods clear.
Check understanding through explanation, not completion alone.
Make space for questions about transition.
