It’s from the brilliant Ben @hertsassessment. He’s clear it’s only a guide, not a guarantee - but is based on a lot of experience!

‘Modelling for Maths Benchmarks’
A free download booklet with great tips and ideas for using manipulatives in maths to support teaching and learning in the classroom - from @OUPPrimary and @HFL_Education
fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/…
This includes scaffolding, with representations to support learning with regard to dividends, divisors and quotients. I have found this to be particularly beneficial for children in understanding the concept of 'remainders' #hflprimarymaths
A new week and a new @HFL_Education blog!
