6. Recently, I attended a course and was introduced to this:

7. The Maths Passport has helped inspire pupils to
learn and master mathematical skills such as
counting forwards and backwards, number
bonds, times tables, multiples, factors and
square numbers. Children see mathematics as
an enjoyable and important subject and
recognise that everyone can do it! 

8. There are fourteen passports in total, each with
Progressively challenging mathematical targets for the
children to work towards and achieve.
Every child in the school is given a maths passport and
work on their targets at least three times a week in
school as well as at home.
When a child shows depth of learning of each target in
the passport, they are presented with a certificate
during Celebration Assembly.
They are then given their next passport and continue
on their travels!

9. What do we do at home:
For homework the children should be practising their targets given on their Maths Passport regularly.
It is important they have a broad understanding of each of the targets before moving on.
