Open Numeracy Practice

Flexible classroom use

Designed for teaching, intervention and review

Concept Journeys are designed to slow the learning down. Instead of jumping straight to questions, pupils meet an idea through pictures, movement, talk prompts and small interactions.

Whole-class modelling

Use a journey to introduce and discuss one idea together.

Small groups

Slow the learning down and keep the visual model in view.

ASN and intervention

Use short steps, clear language and editable interactions.

Retrieval and review

Return to a model before choosing focused follow-up practice.

Understanding comes first.

The journeys are informed by visual learning, concrete-pictorial-abstract approaches, spatial reasoning and Curriculum for Excellence progression. Interactive and printable practice then provides a purposeful next step.
