And welcome to the depths of autumn. The nights are drawing in, and we’re edging ever closer to Christmas. But don’t worry, we’re not going to bombard you with nativities and winter crafts just yet. The busy autumn term is still upon us, and we’ve got a fantastic maths focus this issue to help you get your pupils’ confidence up, analyse where they are now, and what help and support they might need going forward. Jo Austen delves into how to avoid common maths faux pas on page 53, while Kieran Mackle shares his pointers on how best to teach the complex concept of prime numbers to young learners (page 61). We also have articles from Gareth Metcalfe on breaking down the problem-solving process in maths (page 50) and from John Tomsett on helping children hold onto all that valuable knowledge once the lesson is over (page 58).
