A whole-school framework that strengthens planning and classroom practice
LTD provides the structure schools need for coherence across Reception to Year 6, while keeping teachers focused on mathematical understanding, purposeful activity and responsive teaching.

One connected framework
The yearly overviews, topic progressions, lessons, resources and assessment work together. Staff can see what has been taught before, what the current sequence develops and what pupils will need next.
This supports smoother transitions between year groups and more productive planning conversations.
The classroom model
Whole Class. Hands-On. Independent.
The consistent lesson structure gives staff a shared reference point. Whole-class teaching establishes the idea. Hands-on investigation makes the structure visible. Independent work shows what pupils can apply.
Leaders can use the structure in planning, coaching and lesson discussion without turning it into a rigid observation checklist.
The content schools receive
Planning: Reception to Year 6 overviews, topic sequences, curriculum mapping and whole-school progression documents.
Lessons: Detailed three-part plans, short modelled videos, teacher background and classroom prompts.
Resources: Lesson-specific printables, visual models, task cards, independent work and practice.
Assessment: Diagnostic check-ups, concept check-ups, topic monitoring and open tasks.
Professional learning: Embedded guidance, masterclasses, online sessions and additional school support as agreed.
Intervention: Targeted diagnostic and sprint-based support, included or available as an add-on depending on package.

A sensible route to implementation
Schools do not need to replace every existing practice at once. A staged rollout may begin with agreed priority areas, a small number of common representations or selected year groups, then expand as staff confidence grows.
The implementation plan should match school capacity and make review points clear.
Leadership support
Maths leads need visibility of the content, staff use and assessment approach. They also need practical support to lead planning, introduce the pedagogy and keep implementation focused on pupil understanding.
Higher-support packages can include leadership coaching, staff training, modelled lessons and implementation review.
Use the approach with professional judgement
LTD provides a suggested sequence, not an instruction to ignore assessment or local curriculum design. Teachers and leaders should adjust time, examples and lesson selection in response to their pupils.
