Mathematics: Made to Measure
This resource from Ofsted, published in May 2012, is a full report and summary of the findings into the teaching of mathematics, based predominantly on evidence from inspections between January 2008 and July 2011 in maintained schools in England. Attention is drawn to serious inequalities in students’ experiences and achievements and it includes examples of best practice, that help avoid or overcome the inequalities, as well as weaker practice that exacerbates them. In the foreword Sir Michael Wilshaw, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, proposes that schools are encouraged to take action to ensure that all students experience consistently good mathematics teaching, while the Department for Education are urged to raise national mathematical ambition. Ofsted's contributions will be to produce support materials to help schools identify and remedy weaknesses in mathematics as well as placing greater emphasis, in school inspection, on: *how effectively schools tackle inconsistency in the quality of mathematics teaching *how well teaching fosters understanding *students’ skills in solving problems *challenging extensive use of early and repeated entry to GCSE examinations
