Shanghai Exchanges

As part of the Teaching for Mastery Programme, previous cohorts of Primary Mastery Specialist have been to work alongside mathematics teachers in Shanghai to share and develop pedagogy.  Each year, the teachers from Shanghai returned to England to deliver a sequence of learning to children in a host school that were open to participants involved in our Work Groups. The lesson PPTs and activities for each sequence of learning are shared below alongside a recording of the final lesson of each sequence.
