Impact on achievement
Pupils have developed an enjoyment for maths with improved confidence – explaining the reasoning behind their methods!
Teacher, St Columba’s Catholic Primary School
I know lots of new techniques now to calculate and check with resources!
I did not realise that if I use the inverse, I can check if my answer is correct or not. I am definitely going to use that in the classroom!

The sessions use number rods, bar modelling and written methods to build a complete mathematical picture to develop pupils’ arithmetical fluency.
- a lead teacher and one or two teaching assistants trained together
- the lead teacher conducts a diagnostic assessment and selects a series of Success@Arithmetic steps to form a tailored programme of up to 24 sessions
- the teaching assistant delivers to an intervention group of up to three pupils
- the teaching assistant starts working with their group of pupils straight after the first training day
- the training runs alongside the implementation of the teaching programme, in that way the teaching assistant is trained topic by topic
