Abstract

Recent policy discourse in England has adopted “mastery of mathematics” as a desired aim and approach to teaching, yet this is understood in a variety of ways. One key component of the official discourse is the claim that mastery will enable ALL pupils to achieve and move through the curriculum together. This paper explores the ways in which this claim is recontextualised in the discourses of agencies involved in teacher professional development.
