Discover Groundwork Maths
Built around the Ready-to-Progress criteria, our brand new, screen-free intervention programme helps schools identify and address gaps in learning through carefully sequenced teaching, high-quality resources and expert implementation support.
Many schools are dealing with the same picture. In a typical class there is a wide range of prior understanding, with a significant gap between the highest and lowest attainers.
We’ve built Groundwork Maths to help you solve this problem. Designed for teaching assistants, it’s structured, explicit and hands-on. Early adopters have described it as “a breath of fresh air”!
The Programme
Strands and phases
Groundwork Maths splits maths into six strands, each covering a major area of the curriculum. Every strand is divided into four phases that follow how understanding builds, one step at a time, from the earliest ideas onwards.
Stage, not age
The phases describe where a pupil's understanding sits, not which year group they are in. So rather than “Year 2, Number and Place Value,” a pupil is simply still securing numbers to 100. The phases build in sequence from there.
Modules and sessions
Each phase is made up of modules, and each module is a sequence of ten short sessions that move forward in careful micro-steps. A pupil works through only the modules that match their gaps.
