Mastery style curriculum that covers the UK curriculum?

[grey12]

Hi!

I am homeschooling my 3 kids (9,8 and 5).
The 2 oldest started with public school before home ed. With them I follow the UK curriculum as is. We use the resources from Twinkl and also CGP books.
Honestly, I don't like the spiral curriculum that the UK utilises........ it's relentless.... and ineffective 🤷🏻‍♀️ at least with my kids (I am sure it works well for others).

I would like to change the order of the curriculum for my youngest to follow a more Mastery style curriculum. Starting with numbers and place value, addition and subtraction, before moving on to multiplication, division and then fractions and statistics (geometry and measurements along the way).

Has anyone followed a similar style? Are there resources that can cater to this?
Thank you ❤️

State schools do follow a mastery curriculum for maths. Look up white rose maths.

Mastery is quite a tricky concept.

most maths curriculums spiral they just vary in how tightly they spiral. The uk does have a hell of a lot of repetition built in though.

how about the Singapore curriculum? Moves quicker than the uk curriculum though.

@Tickingcrocodile as far as I am aware they do not 😟 they do multiplication, division and fractions starting from Y1 and before!

I did check White Rose as well. They're subscriptions are for each individual year which means I would need to subscribe to ALL the years at the same time to cover all the number and place value content 😬 do they have physical books?.....

White rose offer school subscriptions which cover all the years in a primary or secondary school.

they are uk curriculum aligned. The secondary stuff is lower ability once you hit year 10/11

i think you can print their workbooks if you have a subscription.

try maths no problem if you want physical books

White Rose does printed workbooks that you can buy as singles or they have different workbooks in their parent resource section. I believe you can buy the workbooks without a subscription, certainly the parent ones anyway. The year 1 resources are a bit more spiral in that they do place value to 10 then addition and subtraction to 10, then moving to place value to 20 then addition and subtraction to 20. They start multiplication at the end of year 1 but just things like recognising and making equal groups. I actually think they move too fast for proper mastery as the UK maths curriculum.is too packed, but at home they could be done at a slower pace.

Another scheme that follows the same structure but has more practical elements is primary stars maths. You can buy a subscription for a single year group that isn't too costly - I pay for one myself that I use to supplement White Rose with my class.

@Tickingcrocodile thank you for your reply ❤️
I will check them again. When I checked their website they seemed to follow the UK curriculum and I really do not agree with division and fractions on year 1. Year 3 is fine! 😝
The scheme you mention seems quite alright for what I had in mind 👍 yes, the curriculum is so packed I know I won't "achieve mastery". But I just reckon it will be less stressful than what I am doing with the older ones......

I believe the spiraling is built in to the UK curriculum - if you want the least spiraling possible, you would need to leave the confined of the UK curriculum and go for something like Math U See
