Episode 224: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, we bring you a special "Standing Room Only" session led by Gareth Metcalfe. Following last week's discussion, Gareth returns to walk us through the thinking and practicalities behind his project Deconstructing Word Problems.

In this CPD-style talk, Gareth shares:

  • ​The rationale behind deconstructing word problems and the need for a consistent approach.
  • ​How slow reveal, minimally different examples, and visual representations can help pupils process mathematical structure more effectively.
  • ​The importance of carefully designed variation and redundant information in promoting deeper understanding.
  • ​How his classroom-tested materials are structured and how teachers can implement them meaningfully in classrooms

This episode is ideal for teachers, maths leads, and school leaders interested in deepening mathematical reasoning and improving outcomes through carefully designed problem-solving experiences.
