Barbara Middleton found Winning With Numbers:

• Moderately improves teaching efficiency“For less experienced teachers, it is very structured. It also forces teachers to provide thinking time and improve recall. It has a specific pace.”
• Significantly builds student knowledge“It breaks the learning into small steps and it is possible to go back steps when necessary to deepen understanding.”
• Significantly improves attainment“Children are able to use known facts to enable them to apply learning thus improving learning in non-negotiables.”
• Significantly improves teacher knowledge“Where teachers are not maths specialists, or not confident themselves, it enables them to see a sequence of learning and progress.”
• Moderately reduces attainment gap“As the class move through the mastery, keeping up approach, the teacher has the ability to move back through steps but children can also use this programme individually thus enabling repetition of learning.”
