Abstract
In England, pandemic constraints often resulted in reduced mathematics performance, with variable recovery from such learning loss. However, the nature of, and reasons for, emerging post-pandemic classroom practice and experience are less clear. We report on the ‘new normal’ in five secondary mathematics departments, fairly representative in several key characteristics, and four of whom we worked with pre-pandemic. In each school, a late 2022 twoday ‘deep dive’ visit explored the experienced curriculum breadth and balance, the development in mathematics of problem solving, reasoning, communication and affect, and the use of digital tools for learning. We analyse pre-to-post pandemic changes in opportunities to learn in those areas, the reasons given, and how changes appear to vary with department- or student-related characteristics. We identify important features of teacher-level capacity and (physical, emotional and cognitive) support as key in these schools to sustaining more ambitious learning experiences post-pandemic.
