Charlie is a teaching assistant who plans and provides intervention activities for a small group of Year 4 children. These children find learning new mathematical concepts difficult so require additional support. Charlie has decided to take a teacher-led approach to the maths sessions. Discuss reasons why a teacher-led approach will support the children’s mathematical development. Your response should demonstrate:
